Fleetwood Mac have announced they will be reforming. Guitarist Lindsey Buckingham revealed that the band will be touring in 2009 and possibly record some new material.
The band have not released a new album since 2003’s “Say You Will”, which charted in the UK top ten, but Buckingham feels the time is right to go back to the studio - but only after a tour. “I think maybe there was even a sense that we would make a better album if we went out and hung out together first on the road ... Maybe even sowing some seeds musically that would get us more prepared to go in the studio rather than just going in cold. It takes the pressure [off] from having to go in and make something cold".
Buckingham, whose fifth solo album “Gift of Screws” is released in September, went on to quash recent rumours that Sheryl Crow would be joining the band: "I think with Stevie [Nicks] ... maybe to some degree there was a little too much testosterone on stage when we went out in 2003, and I think the band was looking to kind of balance that out a little bit, [but Sheryl's involvement] just kind of lost its momentum".
