Lindsey Buckingham, born on October 3, 1949, is the fingerpicking guitar wizard and co-lead singer who helped turn Fleetwood Mac into one of the biggest bands on the planet. He came into the group replacing guitarist Bob Welch and talked them into taking on his musical and romantic partner of the time, Stevie Nicks, and the pair helped power the band's golden era. Rumours, in 1977, sold over 40 million copies, and the hits he wrote and sang for the band include "Go Your Own Way", "Never Going Back Again", "Tusk" and "Big Love".
The band was a nonstop soap opera of creative and personal fights, and Buckingham walked out in 1987 to work on his own records. A reunion at Bill Clinton's inauguration ball in 1993 thawed things out, and by 1997 he was back full time for The Dance. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him with the band in 1998. In 2018 he was dismissed and replaced by Mike Campbell and Neil Finn.
On his own he has made seven studio albums and three live ones, and his "Holiday Road" is a jittery, sunny little pop song that shows how much fun he has when nobody else is steering.
