Buckingham undergoes open heart surgery
LOS ANGELES — Lindsey Buckingham underwent open heart surgery that left the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist with damaged vocal cords.
Buckingham’s publicist said Friday that he experienced chest pains last week and was taken to the hospital where he had the life-saving procedure. Buckingham is recovering at home with his family.
The 69-year-old rocker’s wife, Kristen Buckingham, said on social media it’s unclear if the damage after the surgery is permanent.
