It’s no rumor: Lindsey Buckingham, former lead guitarist of Fleetwood Mac, is suing his former bandmates, declaring that cutting him out of their current tour deprived him of up to $14 million.
According to the suit Buckingham’s lawyers filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court, Fleetwood Mac made a deal with Live Nation for a 60-concert North American tour that would earn $12 million to $14 million for each band member. Buckingham alleges that in addition to losing this potential income, the group also broke an oral contract that no member of Fleetwood Mac could be dismissed without cause. Buckingham was abruptly dropped from the group earlier this year, and replaced with Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and Neil Finn of Crowded House.
