Mystery solved: Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham to reissue long-lost debut album
The former Fleetwood Mac bandmates and ex-lovers will not be reuniting, but instead plan to reissue their only studio album as a duo, 1973's 'Buckingham Nicks.' The record, due out Sept. 19, has been out of print in all formats in the U.S. since the early 1980s.
The rerelease, available for preorder now, has been sourced from the album's analog master tapes for vinyl, CD and digital formats. No bonus material will be included.
Buckingham and Nicks announced the news Wednesday, July 23, sharing a time-lapse video of a billboard featuring the album's title and original cover art being installed in Los Angeles. Their joint Instagram post was set to the remastered version of the album's opening track, 'Crying in the Night,' which is available now to stream.
The billboard is reportedly off Sunset Boulevard near Sound City Studios, where the album was originally recorded. It was first spotted by fans on Monday, July 21, adding to the intrigue that began in June when the famously feuding artists began following each other on Instagram.
Nicks, who was a lead singer for the band, and Buckingham, who played guitar and keyboard, met while students at Menlo-Atherton High School, and began dating in 1972. Drummer Mick Fleetwood heard 'Buckingham Nicks' while scouting recording studios in 1974, and was so impressed he ended up offering them spots in his band.
Buckingham and Nicks famously broke up while Fleetwood Mac was recording its 1977 album 'Rumours,' and had been entangled in a bitter feud since.
Internet buzz about the pair began Thursday, July 17, when the artists shared corresponding social media posts that together make up part of the chorus of 'Frozen Love,' a track on 'Buckingham Nicks.'
Fleetwood also got in on the promotion last week, sharing a video of himself listening to 'Frozen Love' in a joint Instagram post with Fleetwood Mac's official account. He captioned it: 'Magic then, magic now.'

Paula Deen abruptly closes restaurant that launched her to celebrity chef status
In the late 1990s, Paula Deen was an independent restaurateur whose family-operated restaurant had just received a glowing review from USA Today. Her life and career were permanently changed. Now, over 25 years later, the Georgia native has announced the closing of the Lady and Sons — the iconic restaurant that made her a star of Southern cuisine and a household name in the cooking world. Opened in downtown Savannah, Ga., in 1996, the Lady and Sons boasted a menu of local classics like fried green tomatoes, banana pudding and hoecakes. The signature dish, Southern fried chicken, was enough to draw lines wrapping around the block — and the restaurant came to be viewed as an embodiment of the indulgent and buttery flavors that characterize Southern cooking. 'There in Savannah, Paula Deen's homestyle Southern menu at the Lady and Sons turned me into a ravenous beast, unmindful of manners, cholesterol, North-South diplomacy and the dropped jaws of my companions,' USA Today, then the nation's most-read daily newspaper, wrote on Dec. 17, 1999. Earlier that year, the popularity of the Lady and Sons caught the attention of Food Network journalist Gordon Elliott. Deen appeared on Elliott's short-lived show 'Door Knock Dinners' that led to her own Daytime Emmy-winning Food Network program, 'Paula's Home Cooking.' On her website and social media accounts, Deen bid farewell to the Lady and Sons and its longtime fans. Also closing is her newer restaurant, the Chicken Box, which opened in 2023. 'Hey, y'all, my sons and I made the heartfelt decision that Thursday, July 31st, was the last day of service for The Lady & Sons and The Chicken Box,' Deen said in the statement. 'We will now focus our attention on the four Paula Deen's Family Kitchen locations across the country.' The announcement came without warning, especially as the restaurant continued to draw tours and lines of customers. Three weeks prior to the announcement, the Lady and Sons posted on Instagram that it was hiring for all positions. Over the years, some of Deen's other restaurants have also closed suddenly. In 2014, employees at Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House — a Savannah eatery she co-owned with her brother, Earl W. 'Bubba' Hiers Jr. — reportedly arrived to work to find the doors locked and the appliances removed. A sign on the door said, 'Thank you for 10 great years. Uncle Bubba's is now closed.' The Panama City, Fla., location of Paula Deen's Family Kitchen also closed abruptly in 2019, laying off 30 employees without advance notice. Several former employees told local news channel WJHG that they were left without their main source of income following the closure. Uncle Bubba's closure came a year after controversy began to surround Deen after a former manager at the restaurant sued Hiers, alleging sexual and racial discrimination. Food Network canceled 'Paula's Home Cooking' after Deen admitted to using a racial slur during a deposition for the 2013 lawsuit. Lawyers asked Deen if she had ever used the N-word, to which Deen replied, 'Yes, of course,' later adding, 'It's been a very long time.' Since then, the 78-year-old has focused on her restaurants. The Lady and Sons, as her core establishment, was the result of a litany of personal struggles and ambition. Both of her parents passed away when she was in her early 20s and Deen, then a young mother, struggled with depression and agoraphobia, or fear of going outside. With only $200 left, Deen founded a catering company out of her kitchen called the Bag Lady. Her handmade bag lunches were delivered by her sons Jamie and Bobby and earned Deen a local reputation for her homestyle cooking. After one attempt at a restaurant, the Lady in 1991, the follow-up, the Lady and Sons, co-owned with Jamie and Bobby, would be her success.
