Buckingham going on tour to promote solo collection
Lindsey Buckingham has gone solo before and he’s doing it again, hitting the road this fall with his own U.S. tour and a career-spanning compilation.
The Fleetwood Mac alum launches the expansive tour on Oct. 7 in Portland, Oregon, and continues through early December, ending in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
The tour is in support of the forthcoming Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham, which Pitchfork reported includes new songs Hunger and Ride This Road.
Buckingham was let go by Fleetwood Mac this year after, ironically, a disagreement over touring.
“It’s like a marriage that came to an end and there are reasons why, and, as a band, we needed to move on,” bandmate Mick Fleetwood said on CBS This Morning at the time. Asked if Buckingham had been fired, he replied: “We don’t use that word, because I think it’s ugly.”
Stevie Nicks explained that the group “wanted to get out on the road, and one of the members did not want to go out on the road for a year. We just couldn’t agree.”
Buckingham previously left Fleetwood Mac in the late 1980s, only to return a decade later.
Released on Rhino Records, Solo Anthology will be available digitally and as a three-CD set on Oct. 5, and on six LPs on Nov. 30. There will also be an abridged single-CD issue. A concert-ticket purchase includes a CD or digital copy of the music.
