Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham was attacked with an “unknown substance”.
A woman has been charged following an attack on Lindsey Buckingham.
The 76-year-old Fleetwood Mac icon was pelted with an “unknown substance” outside a building in California on April 1, and now Michelle Dick, 54, has been charged with multiple felonies over the incident.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, legal documents show Dick has been accused of throwing an unidentified substance on the musician.
She is facing seven charges, including making criminal threats, felony vandalism, and assault with a deadly weapon involving a motor vehicle.
Dick has also been charged with stalking both Buckingham, and a person referred to as Stephanie N.
Lindsey was arriving for an appointment on Wednesday (01.04.26) when a woman approached and threw an unidentified substance at him before fleeing the scene, according to NBC 4 Los Angeles.
The musician – who joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 alongside Stevie Nicks – was not injured in the attack. A warrant was subsequently issued for Dick’s arrest with bail set at $300,000.
The incident comes after it was revealed Lindsey has moved on from his feud with his former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Stevie, who said the former lovers are back on good terms after reuniting for the re-release of their joint LP, Buckingham Nicks.
Speaking on the Song Explorer podcast, Stevie, 77, said: “Lindsey and I started talking about it last night. This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.”
Discussing the meaning of the track Frozen Love on the record, which was originally released in September 1973 and unavailable for decades, she said: “The song is about two people that were in love, that had a lot of differences and saw the world slightly differently, but had this like relationship that seemed to be, like a gift.
“I like to think of it as Wuthering Heights or Great Expectations — a modern-day love affair, tragedies. Because nobody really loves happy songs. Certainly I didn’t, and neither really did Lindsey.”
The pair dated between 1972 and 1976 and were in Fleetwood Mac together until Lindsey was fired in 2018.
Stevie admitted that while their relationship was testing at times, it was also “fantastic”.
She explained that “our relationship was up and down and up and down and up and down and difficult, but, at the same time, fantastic. And what we were doing was so fantastic, that it was worth putting up with the trials and tribulations of a relationship that’s difficult.”
