As Fleetwood Mac prepare to hit the road again this spring, singer Stevie Nicks doesn't believe they will suffer from the lack of chemistry that bogged down their 2009 tour. In a new interview, she admitted that the band has been known to phone it in, but they have a renewed sense of purpose towards the audience, and each other.

2012 makes 35 years since Fleetwood Mac released 'Rumours,' and the band plans to celebrate by re-releasing the album as part of box sets that comes loaded with unreleased live tracks and session recordings. Both expanded and deluxe editions of 'Rumours' go on sale Jan. 29.

With the recent news of Fleetwood Mac's upcoming 2013 tour comes yet another wave of questions regarding the possibility of keyboardist Christine McVie ever rejoining the band -- and forcing Lindsey Buckingham to tell us, once again, that it's probably never going to happen.

During discussions about their upcoming 2013 tour, the members of Fleetwood Mac huddled into Lindsey Buckingham's home studio to cut three new songs, but Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks don't seem to agree on if they'll be part of a full album.

The outing will begin with an April 4 show in Columbis, OH and run through June 12, wrapping up at the Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit, MI. It's 34 dates in 34 cities, including seven Canadian dates.

Covering Fleetwood Mac seems to be a hip thing to do these days. Back in August a tribute album came out featuring Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Marianne Faithful and a strong crop of some of today's most acclaimed young groups. Next month will see a CD featuring more indie bands tackling Fleetwood Mac's classic 1977 album 'Rumours.'

Over the last 30 years or so, Fleetwood Mac fans have grown accustomed to long waits between studio albums -- but if recent statements made by Lindsey Buckingham are accurate, the band could end its nearly 10-year recording drought in the not-too-distant future.

Former Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch was found dead in his home in Nashville, Tennessee earlier today.  According to a police spokesperson Welch died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Lindsey Buckingham has been forced to postpone a U.K. tour that was scheduled to kick off this week due to an injury sustained by an unidentified member of his backing band.
