Lindsey Adams Buckingham (born October 3, 1949) is an American musician and record producer, best known as the lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the band, Fleetwood Mac, from 1975 to 1987 and 1997 to 2018. In addition to his tenure with Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham has released seven solo studio albums and three live albums. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Buckingham was ranked 100th in ROLLING STONE’s 2011 list of “The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”. Buckingham is known for his fingerpicking guitar style.
Though highly successful, the group experienced almost constant creative and personal conflict, and Buckingham left the band in 1987 to focus on his solo career. Hit songs Buckingham wrote and sang with Fleetwood Mac include “Go Your Own Way”, “Never Going Back Again”, “Tusk”, and “Big Love”.

A one-off reunion at the 1993 inauguration ball for President Bill Clinton initiated some rapprochement between the former band members, with Buckingham performing some vocals on one track of their 1995 studio album, Time, and rejoining the band full-time in 1997 for the live tour and album, The Dance. On April 9, 2018, Lindsey Buckingham was fired from Fleetwood Mac and replaced by Mike Campbell and Neil Finn.
In 1981, Lindsey Buckingham released his debut solo studio album, Law and Order, playing nearly every instrument and featuring guest appearances by bandmates Mick Fleetwood and Christine McVie. The album pursued the quirky, eclectic, often lo-fi and new wave influences of “Tusk” and spawned the single “Trouble” (inspired by Fleetwood Mac producer Richard Dashut), which reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 in Australia (for three weeks).

In 1984, Lindsey Buckingham played guitars and sang harmony vocals on the track “You Can’t Make Love” from Don Henley‘s second solo studio album, Building the Perfect Beast.
In 1986, he co-wrote “Since You’ve Gone” for Belinda Carlisle‘s debut solo studio album, Belinda.
Buckingham’s fifth studio album with Fleetwood Mac, Tango in the Night, was released in 1987. Buckingham had already released two solo studio albums and had given up much of the material for what would have been his third solo studio album for the project, including “Big Love”, “Tango in the Night “, “Family Man”, “You and I” and “Caroline”. “Big Love”, released as the first single from the album, became a top ten hit in the US and the UK.
On his 57th birthday, October 3, 2006, Lindsey Buckingham‘s fourth solo studio album, an acoustic album, now titled Under the Skin, was released. Under the Skin features Buckingham on almost all instruments, with the exception of two tracks that feature Fleetwood Mac‘s rhythm section of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. The album includes a cover of the Rolling Stones classic, “I Am Waiting”.
