Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are bringing the band back together—sort of.

The bandmates, who performed as Buckingham Nicks before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1974, announced Aug. 13 that they will be releasing a remastered version of their 1973 eponymous album this September.

“Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks’ elusive 1973 studio album arrives September 19,” a description included in the YouTube video for their single, “Don’t Let Me Down Again,” read, “with newly remastered sound for CD and digital debut.”

Fans began speculating that a project from the two was in the works in July after Stevie, 77, and Lindsey, 75, shared coordinated posts on social media featuring lyrics from “Frozen Love,” a song featured on their album.

Minutes after Stevie shared the handwritten lyrics “And if you go forward” on her Instagram page, Lindsey posted the rest of the line, “I’ll meet you there,” in what appeared to be his own handwriting.

Along with the cryptic posts, fellow band member Mick Fleetwood shared his own musings on the song as he reflected on the pair’s one-of-a-kind musical pairing.

“The marriage of Stevie and Lindsey, the magic of coming into Fleetwood Mac when they did, it’s all in the song,” he said in a video shared on Instagram at the time. “It was magic then, magic now. What a thrill."

From there, Stevie and Lindsey—who dated from 1972 to 1976—fanned the flames with a joint social media post Aug. 11, sharing a teaser video of a vintage radio playing “Don’t Let Me Down Again."

Of course, the former couple have had a tumultuous history, with their breakup serving as a key source of inspiration for Fleetwood Mac’s seminal 1977 album Rumors. But despite their ups and downs, Stevie and Lindsey continued to coexist professionally until the latter’s departure from the band in 1987. They even reunited 10 years later for another run in Fleetwood Mac until he exited again in 2018.

“When we walk onstage, we are still able to pull back that love affair, and we can have it, the audience gets to have it, and everybody enjoys it,” Stevie said during a 2009 appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. “When we walk off the stage, we go to our own separate limousine and we go to our own separate hotel and we're cool. And then we do it again the next night.”

No, they are never, ever, ever getting back together.

TBH, we might still be mourning this relationship harder than either of its participants.

She even sent over a gift after the newlyweds welcomed daughter Lyla in August 2020. Thrilled for son Jack to become a big brother, a source told E! News at the time that Anna "is very supportive."
