Lindsey Buckingham was reportedly the victim of an attack by a woman while heading into an appointment in Santa Monica, California, according to law enforcement sources who spoke with NBC4 Investigates.
NBC4 Investigates reports that Buckingham had just walked into the building when a woman allegedly threw a substance at him before quickly leaving the area. Authorities believe the individual may have learned the details of his appointment in advance and waited for him before he arrived.
Sources from law enforcement also told NBC4 Investigates that the suspect is believed to be someone Buckingham has encountered before. At the time of reporting, no one had been taken into custody, though officers indicated that an arrest could happen soon.
Billboard has contacted Buckingham’s representatives along with the Santa Monica Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department for additional details.
The incident comes only a few months after Buckingham and his former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Stevie Nicks re released their 1973 collaborative album Buckingham Nicks in September. Despite their well known complicated history, the two shared a joint message on Instagram during the release, writing, “Buckingham Nicks is out now. We’re so happy this album is getting a second life. We hope you love it.”
After its re release, the album entered the Billboard 200 for the first time, opening at No. 11. Fleetwood Mac have placed 31 releases on the chart, including their 1977 album Rumours, which held the No. 1 position for 31 weeks. Buckingham himself has also appeared on the chart with 10 solo releases.
Just days before the reported Santa Monica incident, Buckingham posted a video on Instagram where he spoke about his enthusiasm for the solo album he is currently working on, along with a forthcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary being produced by Apple Original Films.
