Lindsey Buckingham sues Fleetwood Mac for expelling him from the group

LOS ANGELES – Lindsey Buckingham sues Fleetwood Mac for dismissing him from the band's new tour. In the lawsuit, the Hollywood Reporter reports that the guitarist and songwriter is seeking his share of the tour because he says he still wants and is able to happen.

The costume is named after his friends Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie and John McVie.

Buckingham claims that he learned five days after the band's appearance at Radio City Music Hall in January that the band would shoot without him. He says he would have received at least $ 12 million for his share of the tour product.

The group publicist did not respond to an email asking for comments.

The tour in more than 50 cities began on Oct. 3, with Mike Campbell and Neil Finn replacing Buckingham.

In April, Mick Fleetwood told Anthony Mason of CBS News that the decision was taken after the last performance of the group at the end of January, during the ceremony at the MusiCares Grammy Weekend. The five members of the classical formation appeared together. But tensions grew, said Fleetwood, because Buckingham would not approve a new tour she had planned for a year and a half.

"It became a huge stalemate and we ran into a brick wall, where we decided to separate," Fleetwood said.

"Was Lindsey actually fired?" Asked the mason.

"Well, we do not use that word because I think it's ugly.And it's not a question if Lindsey has a lot of respect and congratulations for that." he did in the ranks of Fleetwood Mac and that he will always do it, "Fleetwood said. "But it's like a marriage that has ended and there are reasons for that … But as a group, we had to move on and we have and that is -"

"Because the people who saw you in New York would have thought it was all right, but that was not it?" Asked the mason.

"No, it was not," Fleetwood said.
