Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks have healed their yearslong rift
Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks’ famously tumultuous dynamic is on the mend with the help of an upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary.
The “Go Your Own Way” musician, 76, described the group’s “healing” Thursday when speaking to E! News at Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood bash.
“Stevie and I are talking all the time now,” Buckingham said of the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, 78, who he met in high school and began dating shortly into college.
Their romance ended two years into their Fleetwood Mac run, but spawned some of the band’s most storied songs, including but not limited to “Dreams,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Silver Springs” and “The Chain.”
Buckingham explained that working on Apple TV’s upcoming doc about the beloved band “has been a very circular healing process for all of us.”
“We had left things in 2019, maybe as far as I was concerned, not in a very good place for all the wrong reasons,” Buckingham said, referring to their world tour from 2018 to 2019. “No one was happy about it, and all of that has been healed and worked out.”
In 2024, Nicks said the band will never again tour following the 2022 death of keyboardist Christine McVie, whose celebration of life marked the last time Nicks and Buckingham had spoken.
“You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances,” said Nicks.
Buckingham told a 2009 BBC documentary that for “the lion’s share” of his and Nicks’ relationship, “There has been distance and animosity of some kind, mixed in with everything else, too.”
His latest update on their dynamic comes just under a year after the remastered re-release of their 1973 debut, “Buckingham Nicks.”

Minnie Driver said she is “so grateful to be alive” after she suffered a neck injury during a “really bad car accident” in France.
The Oscar-nominated actress opened up about the harrowing incident in a video she shared to Instagram on Thursday. In it, she can be seen laying in bed and sporting a neck brace.
“I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago with my friend Ben and we somehow walked out of it,” 56-year-old Driver said in the clip. “Well, we didn’t walk out of it. We crawled out of it. But we did get out of it alive.”
Driver continued on to say the crash was not their fault, explaining that they “were driving on a country road” when another vehicle failed to stop at an intersection. She said it was going quick enough that they could not avoid it so “we just T-boned it.”
“I’m fine, I’ve got a sprained neck and I’m really in shock and sort of cry all the time,” she added, “but I’m going to heal.”
The “Emily in Paris” actress also heaped praise on her vehicle — a Kia EV2 — telling fans “the reason that I’m not dead” is because of its “360-degree air bags.”
She continued: “While this categorically is not a car ad — can you imagine if that’s what I was doing — I want to celebrate that car. You know, I’m Minnie Driver, pun intended. I need to celebrate the car that saved us, because we’ve got families and people who love us, and I am so grateful to be alive.”
Driver also shared a photo of the wrecked car and another of her and her friend walking out of the hospital together, arm in arm.
“So, Kia, you are a baller car company,” she concluded. “You’re amazing, and thanks very much from me and my mate Ben.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. — As Tom Holland and Zendaya finished up a busy few months, promoting their back-to-back movie blockbusters, the “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” co-stars kept up their practice of being Hollywood’s most elusive newlyweds by tying the knot for the second time Tuesday in a “secret” ceremony in the English countryside.
Of course, the ceremony doesn’t look like it was so secret, given that the Daily Mail, DeuxMoi and People managed to get a few details about the event, reporting that it took place at the five-star Beaverbrook hotel in Surrey, south of London, and cost around $675,000.
“There was a very natural theme to the wedding,” a source told People, noting that Holland’s three brothers Sam, Harry and Paddy were in attendance and stayed in the cottages dotted around the estate. During the celebration, the brothers wore black tuxedos and tucked dainty wildflowers into the buttonholes of their jackets. Reps for Holland, Zendaya and the Beaverbrook Hotel did not immediately respond to People’s request for comment.
“No expense was spared on their countryside second wedding,” the Daily Mail added.
Holland, 30, confirmed in June that he and the Oakland-born film and TV star, 29, married in an intimate ceremony earlier this year.
Their wedding venue is located not far from Holland’s hometown of Kingston-upon-Thames, the Daily Mail reported. It was formerly the estate of William Maxwell Aitken, or Lord Beaverbook, the Canadian-British newspaper publisher who was an influential figure in British media and politics in the first half of the 20th century.
The lush and landscaped hotel grounds sprawl over 470 acres and include an elegant main house and other buildings that boast 56 rooms and suites and several bars and restaurants.
The couple, of course, have plenty to celebrate, besides being a new Hollywood super couple. Their latest Spider-Man movie has broken box-office records since opening July 31, becoming the highest-grossing movie of 2026 so far, hauling in $1.1 billion worldwide, Deadline reported. Just two weeks earlier, “The Odyssey,” the other big summer movie in which Holland and Zendaya co-star, opened to critical acclaim, has earned more than $900 million globally and is on track to earn more than $1.3 billion.
In June, Holland finally ended months of speculation by confirming to Esquire UK that he and the “Euphoria” star had secretly married earlier in the year. He declared, “I found my person, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”
In the interview, Holland talked about needing to assuage his grandmother, who worried she had been left out of the festivities when she caught wind of viral AI-generated images of the happy couple celebrating their nuptials at Lake Como. He said the rest of his family didn’t need the same reassurance, “because they were all there.”
When culture editor Henry Wong told Holland he didn’t realize “The Odyssey” stars had already exchanged vows, Holland said, “That’s all you’ll get on that.”
Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, started the speculation in February by laughingly saying in a red-carpet interview at the 2026 Actor Awards: “The wedding has already happened. You missed it!” But at the time, Zendaya and Holland declined to clarify what Roach was talking about.
Zendaya and Holland have been romantically linked since 2016, after they first met on the set of “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” While they kept their relationship extremely low-key for years, their relationship was publicly confirmed when the pair were photographed kissing in a car in 2021. Zendaya debuted her engagement ring at the 2025 Golden Globes.
