Nepo-baby with music legend dad is a TikTok star – but can you guess her famous parent?
THIS nepo-baby was born into music royalty, thanks to her famous father. Although she has opted for a life in the spotlight, she has chosen social media as her path to fame and is a TikTok star - but can guess who her rocker dad is? 7 7 7 7 This nepo-baby is Stella Buckingham, who is the daughter of Fleetwood Mac star Lindsey Buckingham. Her mum is the famous guitarist and singer's ex-wife Kristen Messner. Stella, 21, is now forging a career for herself as a TikTok star. Going under the handle @stelllabuckingham, she posts videos of herself lip-syncing and getting involved with the latest TikTok crazes. The nepo-baby also features her famous dad in her videos, and can be seen pranking him in a few. Stella has almost 20K followers and a whopping 700 likes so far. PARENTS' DIVORCE Stella's mum and dad filed for divorce in 2021, after over two decades together. The former couple tied the knot in 2000 and, along with Stella who is the youngest, they are parents to William, 26, and Leelee, 24. Stella's parents met when Kristen photographed him for one of his solo albums. Lindsey previously revealed he waited 'a long time' for Kristen after dating a lot of "crazy" girlfriends. Fleetwood Mac perform iconic track The Chain on the 1997 The Dance tour He told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2011: "I had a lot of crazy girlfriends, and a lot of that was just an outgrowth of the lifestyle we were all leading. 'I did see a lot of friends who were parents and spouses — back in previous decades — who weren't really there and kind of screwed up their kids, and were not there for their family situations. "So I waited and I was lucky enough to meet someone relatively late. 'So it's worked out really well. I got all that other garbage out of the way.' Lindsey also famously dated one-time bandmate Stevie Nicks and the pair wrote some of their most famous songs following their split, including Go Your Own Way. FLEETWOOD MAC STAR Lindsey joined the world famous band Fleetwood Mac in 1975. Together with Stevie, the band was formed of Mick Fleetwood, and Christine and John McVie. Lindsey first left the band in acrimonious circumstances in 1987. He then rejoined when the group reformed in 1997 but again left under a cloud, amid rows over a forthcoming tour in 2018. 7 Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the time, Mick Fleetwood admitted the acrimonious exit of Lindsey could have marked the end of one of rock's great names. He said: 'Lindsey's departure was traumatic and a major change for the band, but we decided we wanted to carry on. We made the decision together. "Of course, we could have just stopped and it probably would have been an easy point to stop, but we definitely didn't want to. 'Lindsay left fairly acrimoniously and we weren't getting on well any more, and yes, it is a happier ship to be on. "We have two new people in the band who have been hugely accepted and welcomed, but in many ways it does amaze me that we are still here all these years later, after all of the ups and downs."

Fleetwood Mac's Album Reaches A New Peak On Multiple Charts At Once
It's a busy week for classic rock acts across the United Kingdom, and one of the biggest winners — unsurprisingly — is Fleetwood Mac. Lately, it hasn't been unusual to see more than one of the group's albums on the charts in that country, as well as several singles. That's an unusual showing for a band that produced much of its most popular work decades ago, but at this point, it's a common occurrence for this outfit. This week, the band sees a decades-old title not only return, but surge to new highs, thanks to Record Store Day and an insatiable appetite for the group's work. Fleetwood Mac's self-titled effort — often referred to as the White Album, though it shouldn't be confused with The Beatles' similarly nicknamed collection — reappears on several U.K. charts this week. The bestselling project reenters three different sales-focused tallies and earns top 20 status on every one of them. The set is now present once again on the Official Vinyl Albums, Official Albums Sales, and the Official Physical Albums charts. And while it's only spent a handful of frames on any of these rosters throughout its long life, this week marks its best showing yet across the board. This frame, Fleetwood Mac returns to the Official Vinyl Albums ranking at No. 18. The title comes in at No. 20 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, just slightly beneath its placement on the vinyl tally — and those are brand new peaks for the project on each list. Fleetwood Mac's surge is driven in large part by a limited edition reissue that was introduced for Record Store Day 2025. The title was pressed as a picture disc and made available in small quantities, as just 6,500 copies were produced. That number might be overkill for some classic rock figures, but not Fleetwood Mac. The re-release also comes at the perfect time – well, almost. The effort's official half-century birthday won't arrive for a few months, but clearly the celebration has already begun. Released in July 1975, Fleetwood Mac was the band's tenth full-length and marked a major turning point. It was the first to feature Lindsey Buckingham on guitar and Stevie Nicks on vocals, and that lineup that would help catapult the group to unparalleled heights. This version of the band went on to craft some of the most successful rock hits of all time, including tunes featured on this album. The collection, which was actually the second to bear the band's name following the 1968 debut, was a commercial and critical smash. In the U.S., it's been certified seven-times platinum, shifting more than seven million copies. The tracklist includes fan favorites like 'Rhiannon' and 'Landslide,' both of which remain two of Fleetwood Mac's most recognizable and beloved compositions nearly 50 years later.

Fleetwood Mac's Classic Single Reaches A New All-Time Peak
Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' hits a new streaming peak in the U.K., while Rumours and other albums ... More continue to dominate multiple charts decades after release. UNITED STATES - OCTOBER 01: NEW HAVEN Photo of FLEETWOOD MAC, L-R: John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Christone McVie, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood - posed, group shot, by car - MusicBrainz: bd13909f-1c29-4c27-a874-d4aaf27c5b1a (Photo by Fin Costello/Redferns) Fleetwood Mac's staying power in the United Kingdom is nothing short of extraordinary. The band first found chart success more than half a century ago, and while most acts from that era are long gone from mainstream consciousness, this group keeps showing up — and not just with album sales. The rock outfit continues to rack up hit singles in a field so often dominated by viral smashes and brand new releases. This time around, one of the act's most iconic tracks, 'The Chain,' climbs to a brand new peak. Fleetwood Mac is in the middle of another huge frame on the U.K. charts. The group appears with three albums and just as many singles, but only one of those cuts is growing in any major way. 'The Chain' lifts from No. 99 to No. 90 on the Official Streaming Chart, which ranks the 100 most-played songs in the country across services like Spotify and Apple Music. That's still a fairly low placement overall, but it does mark a new all-time best showing for the classic tune. 'The Chain' remains the lowest-charting of Fleetwood Mac's streaming hits in the U.K., even at this new high. This week, it earns its tenth appearance somewhere on the Official Streaming chart. Only four songs by the band have ever reached this particular tally. The others — 'Dreams,' 'Everywhere,' and 'Go Your Own Way' — have all climbed higher, and of the bunch, 'Dreams' is the most successful. It has previously broken into the top 40, peaking at No. 27. It's also the longest-running Fleetwood Mac song when it comes to this list, with 176 turns on the ranking. Fleetwood Mac doesn't only appear on the streaming tally this week. Both 'Dreams' and 'Everywhere' are present on a pair of U.K. charts. 'Dreams' improves on both the Official Singles and the Official Streaming charts, while 'Everywhere' slips on both tallies. While the focus might be on the singles, Fleetwood Mac's albums are also responsible for notable showings across a variety of U.K. charts. Both 50 Years – Don't Stop and the group's Greatest Hits appear on two rankings apiece. The former finds a home on both the all-consumption list and the streaming-only tally, while the latter holds on the general sales chart and the downloads-only ranking. Each project is not just a win, it shows that interest in consuming the band's work differs from title to title. Then there's Rumours, the band's magnum opus. This frame, it can be found on six different charts in the U.K. alone. It performs well across the board, showing up on rankings that account for sales of all kinds, streaming activity, and overall consumption.

The Rise and Fall of the Stock Market's Music King
If you find corporate financial filings to be less than scintillating, you might try thumbing through Hipgnosis Songs Fund Ltd.'s 2021 annual report, which at times resembles an issue of Rolling Stone. There you'll encounter glamorous, full-page portraits and interviews with artist-producer Mark Ronson, his face tilted in semi-profile like a Hollywood star; former Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham, guitar in his hands; Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart, tipping his fedora; and Latin music superstar Shakira, her golden tresses swaying in the breeze or, more likely, animated by an in-studio fan.

Fleetwood Mac Scores A New Hit Album In America — Without New Music
Fleetwood Mac's retrospective box set Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 debuts on three Billboard charts, ... More despite the fact that it features no new music. UNITED STATES - OCTOBER 01: NEW HAVEN Photo of FLEETWOOD MAC, L-R: John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Christone McVie, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood - posed, group shot, by car - MusicBrainz: bd13909f-1c29-4c27-a874-d4aaf27c5b1a (Photo by Fin Costello/Redferns) Fleetwood Mac hasn't dropped a new album in many years, and won't be doing so again. The group's iconic catalog continues to deliver to this day, as people all around the world keep buying and streaming, no matter how much time passes. This week, a newly-issued retrospective box set titled Fleetwood Mac 1975-1987 earns a solid entrance across a trio of Billboard charts, even though most of the people who rushed to the project almost surely know the material by heart at this point. The newly-released collection Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 kicks off its chart run by appearing on three Billboard charts. On the Billboard 200, the all-genre roster that tracks the most-consumed albums in the U.S., the set opens at No. 109. The release fares even better on genre-specific lists. It debuts at No. 18 on the Top Rock Albums chart, and enters at No. 23 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking. Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 becomes the band's first new placement on the Billboard 200 in about a year and a half. That's not a long stretch, especially considering the fact that the band isn't producing truly new music. The last time Fleetwood Mac debuted a project on the chart was in September 2023, when Rumours: Live arrived at No. 81. That effort was also pulled from the vaults, and like this new box set, it showed that even decades-old recordings can turn into healthy wins for one of the most celebrated bands in rock history. With this week's new arrival, Fleetwood Mac has now pushed 31 different titles to the Billboard 200 across its lengthy career. The new compilation also gives the band its twelfth placement on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums lists. Those tallies didn't exist back when many of the group's biggest albums were released, though. According to Luminate, Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 moved 11,700 equivalent units in its first tracking frame. That total includes a mix of activity, with around 1,500 pure sales and the rest coming from streaming and track downloads. As the Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 box set debuts, another of the band's albums continues to show serious staying power. Rumours, widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, is still present on five different Billboard rankings this week. It remains inside the top 40 on each of them, including the Billboard 200, and it holds steady within the top five on both rock-specific tallies.
