The drummer, 77, addressed the years-long rift between bandmates and in a new interview with and expressed his wish to see them finally resolve their issues.
“It’s no secret, it’s no title-tattle that there is a brick wall there emotionally,” the musician said of Nicks and Buckingham. “Stevie’s able to speak clearly about how she feels and doesn’t feel, as does Lindsey. But I’ll say, personally, I would love to see a healing between them – and that doesn’t have to take the shape of a tour, necessarily.”
Fleetwood’s comments come shortly after Nicks, 76, also spoke to about the future of their band, which was founded back in 1967. However, her stance was the complete opposite of the drummer’s, as she seemingly said it’d be impossible for the group to carry on without singer, songwriter and keyboardist Christine McVie — who .
“Without Christine, no can do,” said the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman. “There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way. Without her, it just couldn’t work.”

“It’s impossible to say. We might get back together, but I just couldn’t say for sure,” McVie said, adding that Fleetwood Mac no longer exists “as we know it.”
Following her death, Nicks and Fleetwood in emotional social media statements. “A few hours ago, I was told that my best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975, had passed away,” Nicks shared in a handwritten note via an (formerly Twitter) post. “I wanted to be in London; I wanted to get to London — but we were told to wait. So, since Saturday, one song has been swirling around in my head, over and over and over. I thought I might possibly get to sing it to her, and so, I’m singing it to her now. I always knew I would need these words one day.”

In his own , Fleetwood wrote, “This is a day where my dear sweet Friend Christine McVie has taken to flight.. and left us earthbound folks to listen with bated breath to the sounds of that ‘song bird’… reminding one and all that love is all around us to reach for and touch in this precious life that is gifted to us.”
“Part of my heart has flown away today,” he added. “I will miss everything about you Christine McVie. Memories abound.. They fly to me.”
