Red Carpet Arrivals December 3rd - Interview with Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham.




** Lindsey Buckingham on the upcoming Fleetwood Mac tour, which kicks off Mar. 1 in Pittsburgh: "If I knew what to expect, I would tell you. It's been a little convoluted emotionally. We have some work to do." Only 16 dates have been announced so far, but Buckingham said there would be about 40 in the U.S. As to who might put out a Fleetwood Mac album after the tour, Buckingham said nothing was set in stone, but that "we have a strong relationship with Warner Bros."

St. Paul's Xcel Center The Second Stop on 2009 Tour.

The '70s vets, sans Christine McVie, have picked St. Paul's Xcel Center as the second stop on their 2009 tour.

By CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER, Star Tribune

The rumors are true: Fleetwood Mac is hitting the road yet again next year, and the second stop on its tour will be March 3 at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center. Tickets go on sale Dec. 15 at prices yet to be announced.

Performing without singer/keyboardist Christine McVie since her departure in 1997, the group will be out promoting yet another greatest-hits collection, "Unleashed," plus a newly expanded CD/DVD version of its landmark 1977 album "Rumors." This is the band's first tour since 2005, when it played two nights at the X.

One rumor that has been discounted by the band: Stevie Nicks' pal Sheryl Crow will not be filling in for McVie on tour, as Crow herself suggested in interviews.

Fleetwood Mac takes to the road for the first time in five years

By Rob Evans / LiveDaily Editor

Fleetwood Mac will take to the road for the first time in five years this spring during an outing that will spotlight the legendary band's greatest hits.

Dubbed the Unleashed Tour, the trek gets underway March 1 at Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena. Fifteen shows are currently confirmed for March, and additional spring and summer dates will be announced, according to promoter Live Nation.

"We love our band and think the title of the tour "Unleashed" perfectly describes how we all feel when we get on stage together--especially in 2009," the band said in a joint statement. "We're so happy to get back out on the road, perform everyone's favorite songs and see our fans."

Tickets for the tour are scheduled to roll out on Dec. 15. American Express Cardmembers will have early access to tickets for most shows beginning Dec 8, according to a press release.

Current members of the band include Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Longtime member Christine McVie last performed live with the group at its 1998 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In conjunction with the tour, Fleetwood Mac's classic 1977 album, "Rumors," is set to be re-issued as part of a special CD/DVD boxed set on Reprise Record. Additions to the set will include previously unreleased tracks recorded during the making of "Rumors," as well as a DVD component with never-before-seen footage of the band.

Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2003 and 2004 to support their 2003 album, "Say You Will."

As expected, Fleetwood Mac will embark on its first tour in five years next spring, beginning March 1 in Pittsburgh. Tickets for the Live Nation-produced "Unleashed" tour begin going on sale Dec. 15.

So far, 16 dates are on tap through March 26 in Toronto, but the trek is expected to run through the summer. Core members Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood are all on board.

And while details are scant at deadline, Reprise is planning a CD/DVD reissue of Fleetwood Mac's iconic "Rumours" album featuring as-yet-unspecified previously unreleased tracks and unreleased footage from the era.

Buckingham told Billboard in July he expects Fleetwood Mac will return to the studio, perhaps after the tour, to record the follow-up to 2003's "Say You Will."

"There was no sense we had to jump right in the studio," he said. "I think maybe there was even a sense that we would make a better album if we went out and hung out together first on the road ... maybe even sowing some seeds musically that would get us more prepared to go in the studio rather than just going in cold."
