Fleetwood Mac to tour in 2009

Lindsey Buckingham says Fleetwood Mac will reform early next year for a tour and possibly new material, and denies Sheryl Crow is joining.

Now, normally I'd not approve of any band reforming, but last time Fleetwood Mac did so it was pretty good, so I'm going to relax the rules a little for a moment. The band's Lindsey Buckingham has revealed that they will reform early next year for a tour and possible record some new material.

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. It takes the pressure [off] from having to go in and make something cold".

He also said that Sheryl Crow's recent claims that she would be joining the band are false. He said: "I think with Stevie [Nicks] ... maybe to some degree there was a little too much testosterone on stage when we went out in 2003, and I think the band was looking to kind of balance that out a little bit, [but Sheryl's involvement] just kind of lost its momentum".

Buckingham releases his latest solo album 'Gift Of Screws' on 16 Sep.
