And I'm gonna throw myself into all these projects because you just never know.' 'And I'm gonna have the most fun I can and I'm gonna stop complaining. 'It changed me and Mike for sure, in that you know, we need to take everyday that we have until we're gone and make it the best day we can because if that could happen to Tom, then it could happen to anybody,' Nicks said. But with a little rehearsal, I think it's just gonna be incredible,' Campbell said.ДЇor him, it's a new beginning after losing Tom Petty last fall.

'It already feels like a band when we've only played once or twice. 'The essence of the band was great, and fun, and the three voices sound really good together,' McVie said.

He had a few things in the works, 'but nothing quite as big as this,' he said with a laugh. He said he was wondering what he was going to do. And I was sitting in my backyard,' Campbell recounted. So just six days after the MusiCares performance, Campbell got a phone call from Fleetwood. I mean I have a solo career, and I love my solo career, and I'm the boss. And you know, when you're in a band, it's a team. And one of the members did not want to get out on the road for a year,' Nicks said. 'This team wanted to get out on the road. Stevie Nicks supported the decision to part ways. 'Because people who saw you in New York would've thought everything was OK. вЂ¦ But as a band we needed to move on and we have and that's -' 'But it's like a marriage that came to an end and there are reasons why. And it's not a question that Lindsey has huge amounts of respect and kudos to what he's done within the ranks of Fleetwood Mac and always will,' Fleetwood said. 'Well, we don't use that word because I think it's ugly. 'Was Lindsey effectively fired?' Mason asked. 'It became just a huge impasse and hit a brick wall, where we decided that we had to part company,' Fleetwood said. Honorees Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood perform onstage during MusiCares Person of the Year honoring Fleetwood Mac at Radio City Music Hall on Januin New York City. But tensions were building, Fleetwood said, because Buckingham would not sign off on a new tour they'd been planning for a year and a half. All five members of the classic lineup appeared together. It was the band's last performance in late January when they were honored at the MusiCares benefit on Grammy weekend. 'It happened after we played in New York at the MusiCares event, which you were there,' Fleetwood said. 'Mick, when did you decide that you had to make this change?' Mason asked. They will replace Buckingham, who joined the group back in 1974, helped re-shape their sound and wrote some of the group's biggest hits. 'I'm making this my priority until whenever, you know. Neither Campbell or Finn are thinking of this as a temporary gig. 'This is the new lineup of Fleetwood Mac.' The new lineup of Fleetwood Mac 'This is absolutely a new band,' Fleetwood responded.
