Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham Reconcile, Open to Another Fleetwood Mac Reunion Tour
The last time we heard from Mick Fleetwood, he had just joined TikTok after “Dreams” went viral. Following that, two of his bandmates (past and present) joined the social network. After making the rounds with Nathan Apodaca (the skater who got the song to go viral in the first place), that was it for the drummer. However, in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Fleetwood has reemerged with some interesting tidbits. Firstly, following the death of original Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green, the drummer said he got in touch with ousted guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. If you forgot, Buckingham was booted from the group in 2018 and wasn’t very happy about it. He was replaced by Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House’s Neil Finn. But, Fleetwood says, things are better ...

Mick Fleetwood Says Band Owes Nathan Apodaca After ‘Dreams’ Went Viral
After the viral success of Nathan Apodaca’s TikTok video featuring Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” both the social media star and drummer Mick Fleetwood have been talking (separately) about the revival of the 1977 track. But on Oct. 9, the two finally met virtually on a BBC News broadcast. “One, we owe you,” Fleetwood said after surprising Apodaca during the newscast. “It’s such a celebration of everything. I’ve heard you talking about it, and it’s so joyous and fun.” Fleetwood continued, “I just wanna say, outside of Fleetwood Mac, we owe you. It’s such a great story, and so needed. In days that are really challenging…it makes people smile, and I’m so happy to be part of it. Congratulations on a wild, wild skateboard journey that has led us to talking today.” Apodaca, still getting over the sho...

I just became aware of the whole program, so to speak that is, they have a lot of fun doing, doing stuff. The whole TikTok thing just seems so apropos, uh, whether it stays like that.
