If you’re a long-time fan of classic rock, you might recall the iconic days of Fleetwood Mac in their prime lineup: John and Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, and the talented guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. Together, they’ve created timeless music, with their 1977 album “Rumours” continuing to be one of the top-selling rock albums ever.
Like many of us, the members of Fleetwood Mac have aged, yet they still capture public attention, though not always for the right reasons. Recently, in Los Angeles, Lindsey Buckingham found himself in an unsettling situation when a woman assaulted him by hurling an unknown substance.
Fortunately, it seems Mr. Buckingham was able to walk away from the incident unscathed.
Legendary rock guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, best known for his longtime tenure in Fleetwood Mac, was attacked in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Multiple law enforcement sources said the 76-year-old was set upon by a woman while arriving for an appointment in Santa Monica.
She hurled an unidentified substance at Buckingham when he entered the building and then fled the scene, according to NBC 4 Los Angeles.
The woman has been described as a stalking suspect, and law enforcement insiders say Buckingham was aware of her from prior incidents.
Buckingham is said not to have been injured in this week’s attack, and an arrest is expected to be made before long, with a suspect identified and both the Los Angeles Police Department and the Santa Monica Police Department on the case.
Good news: Mr. Buckingham would seem to have escaped unharmed.
