At the height of their fame, rumors swirled around the romance within Fleetwood Mac between Nicks and Buckingham.
Buckingham and Nicks actually met while attending Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California.
The two met while Buckingham was a junior and Nicks a senior.
Naturally, the two would bond over music.
Today, few remember the singer that put Fleetwood Mac on the map.
Peter Green was once the biggest name in the band before falling away forever.
Eventually, Buckingham and Nicks decided to embark on their own success while attending San Jose University together.
Upon Bob Welch leaving the band, Mick offered Buckingham to join as their new guitarist.
Both parties having opinions on how Rumours should take shape infamously led to aggessive shouting matches and cocaine-fueled intensity.
In Nick’s words, “the band was way more important than each separate person’s problems.”

Granted, she doesnt give the most flattering overview on dating him.
Written for Rumours, the song was cut to prevent the album from being too long.
Optimism turns to doubt as the love begins to fade.
The stress of the tour and feelings of being underappreciated ultimately led to Buckingham deciding to walk away.
She expressed being offended by his alleged rudeness at a MusiCares charity event to figures like Harry Styles.
Buckingham then recalls toRolling Stonethat he gave Fleetwood Mac the ultimatum of either he’d go or Nicks go.
