Lindsey Buckingham was attacked today in Santa Monica. A woman described as a stalking suspect by NBC 4 threw an unknown substance at Buckingham, 76, while he was walking into an appointment. Police have reportedly identified the woman, who Buckingham is reportedly familiar with from previous incidents. She fled the scene, but police anticipate an arrest soon. There's no word as to whether Buckingham suffered any health consequences from the attack.
Buckingham recently teased big plans for 2026 including a new solo album, an officially sanctioned Fleetwood Mac documentary, and a potential reunion with Stevie Nicks following last year's reissue of their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks. "I think on a more general level, just the energy of what Buckingham Nicks did to sort of create a resurgence of connection between Stevie and myself, I think on a larger scale that seems to be something that's in the air," Buckingham said in a video posted to social media. "And what that translates to specifically I wouldn't want to speculate yet, but I believe with all my heart it will translate to something good and something wonderful and something needed and something extremely appropriate."
