'Buckingham Nicks' was not the Fleetwood Mac reunion we hoped for
Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, two sides of a tempestuous love affair that once fueled the fame of rock group Fleetwood Mac, are re-releasing for the first time their 1973 album "Buckingham Nicks."
Before they joined forces with the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie to form the Fleetwood Mac that delivered "Rumors," the pair were part of a duo that combined their last names and artistic styles, marking the start of a decades-long chemistry on and off the stage.
After teasing a reunion earlier this month with a pair of cryptic social media posts, the signature situationship of the '70s announced July 23 that they would reissue "Buckingham Nicks" on Sept. 19, sourcing the old-made-new album from the original analog master tapes. The project will be available in both vinyl and CD form, as well as on streaming platforms.
Legend has it that Fleetwood, during a trip to Sound City studios in Los Angeles, heard "Frozen Love," a track off the album, and was so impressed by it that he later offered Buckingham a spot in Fleetwood Mac when guitarist Bob Welch left the group.
Buckingham reportedly insisted that he and Nicks were a package deal, leading the duo to sign on in 1974 for what would ultimately become the most successful musical stint of their careers.
After 50 years, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham create new rumors
"(We) knew what we had as a duo, two songwriters that sang really well together. And it was a very natural thing, from the beginning," Nicks is quoted as saying in the liner notes, according to Rhino, the re-issue arm of Warner Music.
Buckingham added, "But it stands up in a way you hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work."
While the news may keep die-hard fans fed, those hoping for new music out of Buckingham and Nicks, or Fleetwood Mac as a whole, may have to keep waiting.
The lyrics they posted on social media earlier this month, sparking rumors of a reunion, combined to form a line from "Frozen Love," which, along with the nine other tracks that make up the album, represent their first and only joint venture.

Nikola Jokic's Agent Hints At LeBron James Team-Up With Mysterious Post
Nikola Jokic's Agent Hints At LeBron James Team-Up With Mysterious Post originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Nikola Jokic's longtime agent Misko Raznatovic just set the NBA rumor mill ablaze with a single photo and one cryptic caption. When Raznatovic posted a snapshot of himself on a yacht in Saint-Tropez with LeBron James and Maverick Carter, it already felt calculated. But what sent fans into a frenzy was the caption: 'The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026!' In a league where subtle moves often signal massive power plays, this wasn't just a vacation selfie, it was a message. LeBron James will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025-26 season. Though he opted into his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers, it's becoming increasingly clear that the franchise's long-term vision is centered around Luka Doncic, not a 42-year-old LeBron. That raises the question: is The King already planning his next move and could it involve the three-time MVP, Nikola Jokic? It wouldn't be the first time Denver chased LeBron. The Nuggets made a strong play for him in 2018, but James chose the glitz of Los Angeles over the mountains of Colorado. Now, seven years and two playoff exits at the hands of Jokic later, the tables may have turned. With Denver still a contender, and Jokic locked in as the best player in the world, adding even a 41-year-old LeBron, especially on a team-friendly deal, could swing the championship window wide open again. The internet certainly thinks so. One wondered aloud whether Jokic might be the one moving, could LeBron be recruiting the Serbian superstar to join the Lakers and team up with Doncic? That theory gained some traction after it was revealed that Jokic recently turned down a four-year, $212 million extension. The Lakers, according to reports, have been hoarding cap space for the 2026 free agency period. But there's another angle that could be even bigger: business. LeBron's longtime associate Maverick Carter has been spearheading an ambitious plan to launch a $5 billion international basketball league, and Raznatovic, who represents nearly half of EuroLeague players, would be an ideal partner. If James does transition into ownership or front office influence post-retirement, tapping into the European talent pool through Raznatovic might be his first big play. Still, Raznatovic's post was no accident. LeBron has always been a master of messaging, and this could be a test balloon to gauge fan reaction or even a power play to push the Lakers' hand. Either way, fans are now looking at the 2026 offseason as LeBron's potential 'last dance.' Whether it's in Denver alongside Jokic, in Cleveland for a final homecoming, or running his own league overseas, the gears are clearly turning behind the scenes. And one thing's for certain: when LeBron says nothing, that's usually when he's planning something story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Billy Joel Slams Rumors He Has Had DUIs: 'That Never Happened'
The musician addressed talk about his driving record in his revealing new documentary 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' Billy Joel is putting an end to unsubstantiated DUI rumors. The five-time Grammy winner, 76, addressed some of the "gossip" and "rumors" that come along with fame in his new two-part HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes — specifically, the longstanding rumor that he was charged with DUIs during a brief period away from the spotlight. "I didn't like the tabloid kind of press. For example, there's this rumor that I have all these DUIs," Joel said in the documentary. "That never happened." "But people keep repeating the myth. 'Oh, he's got so many DUIs.' I never had a DUI. So f--- you," he added. "The press can be mean. So having that much attention paid to you is not easy." In the documentary, which is now streaming, Joel detailed his experience stepping out of the spotlight in the mid-2000s. "At that time in his life, he was drinking a lot and over the years, he had sort of a series of calamities," The New Yorker staff writer Nick Paumgarten said in the documentary. "He was making a mess of it in public, and when that happens, the public chorus can turn on you." Around that time, the "Piano Man" singer was indeed involved in a series of car accidents. He crashed a 1999 Mercedes-Benz in June 2002, drove his 2002 Mercedes-Benz into a tree in Sag Harbor in January 2003 before being treated overnight for head injuries, and later lost control of his 1967 Citroen in Bayville in April 2004 and crashed into an unoccupied house. That final accident left him with a cut to his finger and minor damage to the car, per the doc. In an interview with The New York Times Magazine in 2013, Joel clarified that his accidents had "nothing to do with the booze" and more to do with a "mental fog." "I never had a DUI in my life. That's another fallacy. Look at the police records," he said. "My mind wasn't right. I wasn't focused. I went into a deep, deep depression after 9/11. 9/11 just knocked the wind out of me, and I don't know even now if I've recovered from it. It really, really hurt that man could do that to man. And then there was a breakup with somebody, and it took me a while to get me back on my feet again." As Joel told PEOPLE in this week's cover story, the new project following his life doesn't just dispel some rumors, it also depicts "some of the stupid stuff I did, that's painful to talk about." Directed by Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin, And So it Goes offers insight into how Joel overcame substance abuse, mental health struggles and more on his journey toward happiness with his wife, Alexisand his three daughters. 'My goal was to get it over with,' Joel said of his initial involvement in the film. 'When I do interviews, people just ask you about yourself and you get a little self-conscious about it eventually. It's almost embarrassing. When you're talking about your personal life detached from the material… I suppose there's a little bit of wariness involved.' The film features insight from Joel's sister Judy, daughter Alexa Ray, 39, and longtime friends including lighting designer Steve Cohen and booking agent Dennis Arfa. As Cohen told PEOPLE, there's "a work ethic through line in Billy's life." 'You make mistakes. He always said to me, 'You show up. You do the best you can. You admit when you're wrong and you let other people tell you how good you are. You don't tell yourself how good you are,'" Cohen recalled. "I hope fans walk away realizing how f---ing human he is, and I hope they come back listening to these songs again with a deeper affection," Cohen added. "I hope that you walk away from this thing going, 'I now justify my fandom. I know why this guy is as good and why I respond to it, because that's the kind of guy I can relate to his life. I can relate to those emotions.'" Read the original article on People
