Hope (silver) springs eternal.
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham posted matching excerpts from their 1973 song “Frozen Love” on Thursday, prompting speculation among fans that something more may be coming.
Nicks, who is scheduled to begin a solo U.S. tour in August, shared on X a white background image with black cursive text that read, “And if you go forward …” About an hour later, Buckingham posted the lyric’s second half: “I’ll meet you there.”
The lyric is the final line of “Frozen Love,” a track from “Buckingham Nicks,” the only album the two released as a duo before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1975.
Nicks and Buckingham — and more pointedly their tumultuous personal relationship — remain a pop culture symbol of intense romance followed by even more intense heartbreak, fueled in part by a live performance of “Silver Springs” that has remained a fixture online.
The pair had a complicated personal and professional history — both as former romantic partners and as bandmates. Their arrival in Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s helped usher the band’s most commercially successful era, but Buckingham was dismissed from the band in 2018, and the pair have not performed together since.
The apparently coordinated nature of the posts, which came just one day after Mick Fleetwood shared an Instagram video of himself listening to “Frozen Love,” raised questions about whether the former bandmates might be planning something together. In the video, Fleetwood removes his headphones and calls the song “unbelievable.”
“The marriage of Stevie and Lindsey, the marriage of coming into Fleetwood Mac when they did, it’s all in this song,” he said. “It was magic then, it’s magic now.”
Buckingham and Nicks both liked Fleetwood’s post and recently began following each other on Instagram — a change noticed by fans who flooded the comments of both musicians’ posts asking if a reunion was in the works.
As of Thursday afternoon, neither Nicks nor Buckingham had commented further on the posts.
Nicks confirmed that singer and keyboardist Christine McVie’s death in 2019 meant the end of Fleetwood Mac.
Representatives for Nicks and Buckingham did not reply to requests for comment.
