Dreams. Go Your Own Way. Silver Springs. Never Going Back Again. The Chain. Iconic songs from Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours album chronicling the breakup between bandmates Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

But there’s way more to the story than these lyrics and guitar riffs. Stevie and Lindsey’s passionate love-hate affair spans nearly five decades, starting way back in highschool. We take you through the first several decades of Stevie and Lindsey’s relationship, through their Buckingham Nicks days to joining Fleetwood Mac, to both eventually quitting the band by the start of the ‘90s.
