Two weeks ago we learned Fleetwood Mac had fired Lindsey Buckingham (again) and would be launching a big tour with Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House frontman Neil Finn in his stead. Maybe that’s why Buckingham looks so sour in the above photo from January, when the group was collectively honored as MusiCares Person Of The Year on Grammy weekend.

Today they’ve officially announced that tour and given their first post-Buckingham interview with Rolling Stone, in which they chalk up Buckingham’s firing to scheduling conflicts. According to Stevie Nicks, Buckingham wanted to push back tour rehearsals by a year and a half: “We were supposed to go into rehearsal in June and he wanted to put it off until November [2019]. That’s a long time. I just did 70 shows [on a solo tour]. As soon as I finish one thing, I dive back into another. Why would we stop? We don’t want to stop playing music. We don’t have anything else to do. This is what we do.”

So Campbell and Finn were brought in and immediately struck up a close connection with the remaining core Fleetwood Mac membership of Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood. The six of them will be touring all over North America from October to December and again from February to April. They’ll be playing songs from the full Fleetwood Mac discography on this run, not just the material from the original Buckingham/Nicks era of 1975 to 1987 when the band became a pop powerhouse.

Nicks implied that Buckingham previously was preventing the band from digging back into their earlier blues-rock era: “We were never able to do that since 1975 because certain people in the band weren’t interested in doing that. Now we’re able to open the set with a lot; a raucous version of [1969’s] ‘Rattlesnake Shake’ or something. I’d also like to do [1970’s] ‘Station Man,’ which has always been one of may favorites. We’re definitely doing [1970’s] ‘Oh Well.'”

She continued, “There are 10 hits we have to do. That leaves another 13 songs if you want to do a three-hour show. Then you crochet them all together and you make a great sequence and you have something that nobody has seen before except all the things they want to see are there. At rehearsal, we’re going to put up a board of 60 songs. Then we start with number one and we go through and we play everything. Slowly you start taking songs off and you start to see your set come together.”
