A Timeline of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's Messy Feud
Originally appeared on E! Online For years it seemed that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were, indeed, destined to go their own way. Decades after their 1976 breakup all but spelled the end for Fleetwood Mac—the rock band they formed with Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and the late Christine McVie in the early '70s—their antagonistic relationship remains every bit as famous as their chart-topping singles. Of course, more than a few of those (ahem, "Dreams," "Go Your Own Way" and "Landslide") dove into the end of their four-year romance. "I met her when I was about 16," Buckingham, now 75, explained of his girlfriend-turned-bandmate in the 2009 BBC documentary Fleetwood Mac: Don't Stop. "It's been most of my life. Sadly, for the lion's share of those years, there has been distance and animosity of some kind, mixed in with everything else, too. It's never been just one thing." Though they both left the group in the '90s, they reunited for 1997 tour The Dance, tied to the 20th anniversary of their Rumours alum, with Nicks, 77, famously directing the lyrics of her breakup track "Silver Springs" toward her ex.

"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." But time makes you bolder and now it seems the pair—who briefly performed as Buckingham Nicks before joining Fleetwood Mac—might not be 'fraid of changin'. Nicks, and then Buckingham, cryptically posted the lyrics to "Frozen Love"—their joint 1973 effort that first caught bandmate Fleetwood's eye—on Instagram in July. Weeks later, they teamed up to share a teaser video of "Don't Let Me Down Again," a track off that same eponymous studio album. And now it appears the rain has truly washed them clean, the former couple announcing Aug. 13 that they'd be releasing a remastered version of the disc this September. But while the two seem to be getting the band back together, loving each other likely isn't the right thing to do. Relive the drama of their relationship that nearly took Fleetwood Mac down.

The AI Podcast Revolution And How Steven Barlett Is Tackling It
Diary Of A CEO founder and host Steven Bartlett is diving into AI. His company, FlightStory, currently releases an AI-made podcast using his voice. Bartlett says the users know the show is AI-generated and it still has a strong retention rate, with 60% of the audience staying through the end. The AI replication scares him—but not as much as the idea of someone else doing it first. 'There's always a bulldozer coming for you,' says Bartlett. 'You have a choice to either be hit by the bulldozer or to drive the bulldozer.'

🎶 Pop predicts Premier League 25/26: Good Neighbours (West Ham) 🔮
The new Premier League season is almost upon us and to celebrate, we have enlisted the help of some football-loving pop stars to preview and predict the coming campaign. Click here to read all of the interviews! Today we've got Oli Fox, a West Ham fan and one half of Good Neighbours! Hi Oli. What are you hoping to see from West Ham in the 2025/26 Premier League season? I'm hoping to see just a little more cohesion and consistency in our squad. Last season saw us with a talented squad that didn't know how to be a team, so I hope Potter has drilled that into the boys. What is your hottest take or boldest prediction for West Ham's 2025/26 Premier League season? I hate to say that it's now a 'hot take' but I believe we've recruited in such a way to secure a top half finish? I'd dream of a Europa spot but there's been a lot of decent transfers from our main competition. If you were going to bet your life savings on something definitely happening to West Ham in the 2025/26 season, what would it be? There's a few things that I know will happen. Bowen will get into double figures, the fans will turn on Potter a couple of times, and we will have a decent FA Cup run but get knocked out by a silly club. Other than your own, which team or player are you most excited to watch in the 2025/26 season? I'm actually very interested to see if Man United can do anything with a new look team. I really don't like them as a team but some of the players they've employed like Mbeumo and Cunha deserve a shot at the big time. It's an exciting time for the Premier League. What do you predict will be the first managerial change of the 2025/26 season? Regardless of the team, I'm not sure Ruben Amorim is the right manager for United. I can see him seeing the door mid-season. Who will turn out to be West Ham's signing of the summer? El Hadji Malick Diouf. He's had a steady start in pre-season but I really think he's going to come into his own. We haven't had an athlete like him in wing back for a while, so I'm excited to see how he shapes our attack. Who will finish as the Premier League's Player of the Season? Very tough. I think it'll be Wirtz for Liverpool, but he faces competition from the likes of Mo Salah and other 10s like Cole Palmer. Who will win the Golden Boot? Mo Salah is the obvious shout but I'm going to go with João Pedro as an outside vote. Which club will win the Premier League title? Liverpool. Finally, which three clubs will be relegated? Sunderland, Wolves, Leeds. Good Neighbours' debut album, Blue Sky Mentality is out September 26th. Listen to track Suburbs now.
