As Fleetwood Mac tease potential reunion, which bands would we love to see follow suit?
It's the year of the reunion, apparently — as Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have teased a potential reassembly of the band. Lindsey and Stevie, who were bandmates and a couple before their sensational breakup (and the incredible album that coincided with it), shared a cryptic Instagram post from their respective Instagrams that were lyrics to their joint song Frozen Love, which featured on their sole album as a duo, Buckingham Nicks. The rumour mill has since spun into overdrive, and with Oasis going on their sell out reunion tour 16 years after Noel and Liam's fistfight that caused the elder Gallagher to quit, fans are clamouring for reunions; but who else could reunite in the near future? Could it really happen again after Stevie and Lyndsey's cryptic Instagram post? Pic:We might as well start with the most likely one, as there is actually far more to the story than a cryptic Instagram post. Fleetwood Mac have broken up and reunited more times than most could remember, with the final 'breakup' coming in tragic circumstances, following the passing of Christine McVie in 2022. While Mick Fleetwood said that the band was done and Stevie Nicks said she saw no reason to continue the band following Christine's death, Mick's stance changed back in September, when he said he'd be up to re-assemble the band. And with Stevie and Lyndsey's post on Instagram appearing to hint at something , fans of the rock band are waiting with baited breath to see what comes next. Of course, Blur were involved in the Battle of Britpop with Oasis; but with Oasis kicking off their own reunion tour earlier this year, surely Blur may return after their final gig last year. Pic: Avalon/Getty Images Listen, if it's good enough for Oasis, then why not Blur? The Britpop band were set to go on their second hiatus in 2023, before being offered to play Coachella in 2024; something that drew media attention after frontman Damon Albarn's frustrations at the crowd's lack of interaction during Girls & Boys. During their second weekend performance, Damon Albarn admitted that this may be the last time the band perform together, and true to his word they haven't played since. But come on, lads, what do you say: Battle of Britpop 2? Destiny's Child last performed in 2018, with fans hoping for a comeback in some way since. Larry W Smith/EPA/REX/Shutterstock Again, Destiny's Child have technically reunited already — albeit once, during Beyoncé's headline set at Coachella in 2018. But surely a reunion tour/album isn't totally outside the realm of possibility? The final line-up of the 90s pop group was Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams — all of whom have had stellar solo careers in their own rights. The trio performed their farewell performance at the 2006 NBA All-Star Game in February, 2006 but have collaborated a number of times since. With a number of collabs and cameos in music videos, Beyoncé has said that she's up for a reunion with Kelly and Michelle; but with her Cowboy Carter tour still ongoing, we might have to wait a little while longer before the trio reunite. Outkast haven't played together since 2014, and haven't released an album since 2006. Pic:Fans have been waiting patiently for the Atlanta rap duo of André 3000 and Big Boi to finally put out a new album after 2006's Idlewild, but so far we've had nothing. Both rappers have put out solo efforts, with André's New Blue Sun taking a hard left turn as a flute album rather than a rap album. And while the pair did reunite for a 2014 string of shows, that's been it. But with a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction happening this year, could a reunion be on the cards in any capacity?

I tried hi-viz trick at top tourist spots… I dodged £35 ticket with cheerful nod but poor acting thwarted theatre trip
SOMETIMES the best place to hide is in plain sight. Just look at Oasis fan Advertisement 8 Oasis fan John Spilsbury saw their Manchester gig for free by disguising himself as a litter picker Credit: Facebook 8 Sun man Tom Bryden tests the high-vis jacket theory Credit: Darren Fletcher Put on a high-vis jacket and walk with enough confidence, and you can get in anywhere — or so the theory goes. It might seem odd that making yourself so visible actually makes you invisible. But this reflective piece of clothing might be all you need to walk past security unchallenged. Would it let me sneak into some of London's biggest tourist attractions without paying a penny? Advertisement read more on oasis With a £4 high-vis vest and a broken walkie talkie to add to the illusion, I set off to put it to the test . . . ODEON CINEMA THE Odeon Cinema on Leicester Square hosts many of the big blockbuster premieres. And access to the screens is firmly blocked off by a bunch of guys with seemingly one job, and one job only – to stop me getting in. Would this be Mission: Impossible? 8 The Odeon Cinema on Leicester Square fell for Tom's hi-vis jacket Credit: Darren Fletcher Advertisement I was clueless about the layout and nearly blew my cover by looking confused. Most read in The Sun Oasis kick off first Manchester homecoming gig after 16 years away But one pretend-listen to my walkie talkie and I started to walk like I'd been trying to get into Screen 2 all along. The man on the door was itching to ask for my £18 ticket, but I looked him dead in the eye and gave a firm nod. Not a word was spoken and I was on my way to watch How To Train Your Dragon. Advertisement LONDON ZOO WITH ticket booths, a heavily manned bag check and separate security guards on the other side of the street, it was going to be tough to avoid the £35 fee. Conveniently, though, the guards were wearing the same colour vest I had just put on while crouching behind a car. 8 Tom was able to breeze by the London Zoo ticket booths and straight to the camels Credit: Supplied So all it took was a cheerful nod and I was past the four men on the search station. Advertisement I marched toward the glass-fronted ticket booths, where more workers lay in wait. I pretended to fiddle with my walkie talkie and phone, not even trying to make eye contact. And despite being zoo workers, no one clocked my monkey business. Hi-vis whipped off and I was able to roam the zoo like any other visitor. Advertisement TATE MODERN GENERAL admission to Showing at the moment is a retrospective for flamboyant artist and fashion designer Leigh Bowery. 8 Tom was able to get passed security at the Tate Modern and to the Leigh Bowery exhibition Credit: Supplied But blocking my way in was a gallery worker at the entrance and a slow-walking family rummaging for their tickets. Advertisement As a man clearly here for business not leisure, I tried to appear mildly irritated by the hold-up but too polite to hurry anyone. It worked, because when I got to the front I was ushered in with an air of apology. I certainly enjoyed the exhibition too – not least because I'd avoided the £20 fee. THE OVAL GROUND GIANT black gates at Advertisement As I tried to breeze in nonchalantly, firm shouts from the guards quickly stopped me in my tracks. 8 Tom struck out at The Oval Credit: Darren Fletcher My explanation that I was 'just nipping in for a look' unsurprisingly didn't go down too well and I was on the streets unless I paid £20 for a ticket. ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL THERE were a few places not too keen to let me in. Advertisement And it is reassuring to know there are attractions in London that won't be fooled by such a simple trick, especially with the threat of terrorism ever-present in the background. 8 Reassuringly, St Paul's Cathedral weren't fooled Credit: Darren Fletcher So well done I'll just have to pay the £26 entry fee next time. Advertisement GLOBE THEATRE IT'S all about acting at the Shakespearean theatre, where guided tours cost £27 – and my stage skills were too poor to blag my way in here. My performance did have enough about it to get into the gift shop though, but no further. 8 The Globe wasn't fooled by Tom's acting Credit: Darren Fletcher The vest and walkie talkie ruse is good but not foolproof – so don't go trying it yourself!
