Lindsey Buckingham has announced his first new solo set in a decade, a 30-date solo tour of the U.S and had the news of his divorce hitting the press all in the same day.
Buckingham will release his self-titled collection on September 17th, with the album’s first single, “I Don’t Mind,” now available. The album marks his first new music since the 2017 Lindsey Buckingham – Christine McVie album.
Lindsey Buckingham said of the new single: “‘I Don’t Mind,’ like many of the songs on my new album, is about the challenges couples face in long-term relationships. Over time, two people inevitably find the need to augment their initial dynamic with one of flexibility, an acceptance of each others’ flaws and a willingness to continually work on issues; it is the essence of a good long term relationship. This song celebrates that spirit and discipline.”

The ousted Fleetwood Mac guitarist’s road dates kick off on September 1st at Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater and run through December 20th when the tour wraps in Boulder at the Boulder Theater.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Buckingham and his wife Kristen Messner Buckingham, have reportedly split. TMZ reported Kristen filed legal documents in L.A. county to end the marriage. Lindsey and Kristen have been married since 2000 and have three children — William, aged 21; Leelee, 20; and Stella, 17.
Back in January, Buckingham sold the entirety of his of publishing rights, including both his publishing and writer’s share, across 161 songs to music conglomerate Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited. The company had previously snagged 25 percent of the former-Fleetwood Mac leader’s song catalogue through its buyout from the Kobalt company. In the new deal, Hipgnosis also will own a 50 percent share of any unreleased Buckingham compositions. Among the classic tunes included in the deal are “Go Your Own Way,” “Monday Morning,” “I’m So Afraid,” “Never Going Back Again,” “Second Hand News,” “Tusk,” “I Know I’m Not Wrong,” “Walk A Thin Line,” “Big Love,” “Trouble,” “Holiday Road,” and “Go Insane,” along with his portions of “World Turning” and “The Chain,” among many, many more.
