A billboard seems to have appeared above Sunset Boulevard on Monday, alluding to a reissue of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s 1973 album, Buckingham Nicks — their sole record as a duo before they joined Fleetwood Mac the year after (and the rest was history).

Social media posts shared images of the billboard with the album’s cover, which features both Nicks and Buckingham topless, alongside their names, the LP title, and the date Sept. 19. The advertisement is not too far away from Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, where the 10-track album was recorded. Buckingham Nicks would eventually lead to Mick Fleetwood asking the couple to join his band, but since its release, it has not been reissued for over five decades.

Both Nicks and Buckingham hinted at the upcoming project last week, sharing coordinating lines from “Frozen Love,” which appears on their pre-Fleetwood Mac album, on social media. In an Instagram post, Nicks wrote, “And if you go forward…,” while Buckingham added, “I’ll meet you there” — creating the first line of the song’s chorus.

The billboard arrives after Fleetwood Mac turned 50 earlier this month, with Fleetwoodreminiscing about Nicks and Buckingham joining the group. “It’s magic then, it’s magic now,” he said on Instagram at the time. “What a thrill, what a thrill.”

Still, the teaser on Monday comes as a surprise, as the pair have been publicly feuding since Buckingham was fired from the band in 2018. Following his exit, the guitarist underwent open-heart surgery, with subsequentvocal cord damage. Meanwhile, Nicks and the rest of Fleetwood Macwent on to tourwith Mike Campbell, the former guitarist of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Crowded House’s Neil Finn as new members.

Although fans are hopeful for more than a reissue, Nicks doubled down during a Rolling Stone interview with music writer Angie Martoccio last year, emphasizing her belief that the bandcan’t continue without Christine McVie— whodiedin Nov. 2022 — and that there won’t be a proper farewell tour.

Nicks also shared that she last spoke to her ex-bandmate and ex-boyfriend at McVie’s memorial. “The only time I’ve spoken to Lindsey was there, for about three minutes,” she said. “I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could. You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances.”
