103. When Stevie Nicks Met Lindsey Buckingham: Part I

Dreams. Go Your Own Way. Silver Springs. The Chain. These iconic Fleetwood Mac hits from the legendary Rumours album capture the emotional highs and lows of the tumultuous breakup between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

But their love story spans far beyond the music. Stevie and Lindsey’s passionate, love-hate relationship began in high school and evolved through decades of collaboration, heartbreak, and creative genius.

In this episode of Significant Lovers, we explore the first several decades of their relationship:

• Their early days as the duo Buckingham Nicks.
• Joining Fleetwood Mac and skyrocketing to fame.
• The drama that ultimately led to both of them leaving the band by the early ’90s.
