When Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac, they became one of two couples in the band. By the time they were working on their second album with the band, both couples had broken up. Their emotional turmoil provided rich fodder for the band’s magnum opus, Rumours. It also stretched them all to their limits. Despite this, Buckingham said things would have been worse if the couple stayed together.
Lindsey Buckingham said it was for the best that he and Stevie Nicks broke up
In the lead up to the release of Rumours, John and Christine McVie divorced and Nicks and Buckingham broke up after years together. The breakup rattled the band, but Buckingham thought it would have been worse if both couples stayed together.

LeAnn Rimes is one of the biggest names in country music. Fans watching The Masked Singer Season 11 will see her hit the stage in 2024, reminding viewers of Rimes’ powerful pipes and the beautiful songs she’s released through the years.

When she was just 14 years old, she released a version of the same song as Trisha Yearwood on the same day — and it sparked a “feud” that country fans will never forget.

In 2023, Aerosmith began their farewell tour over five decades after the band formed in Boston. Though the group postponed many of their tour dates after lead singer Steven Tyler damaged his vocal chords, they currently plan to resume shows in 2024. In recent years, the band has dealt with a number of health issues and sexual abuse allegations against Tyler.
Aerosmith | Gems/Redferns
Aerosmith didn’t score their first No. 1 hit until 1998, but they were a successful group for years before this. Their first album had a tepid reception from critics and the general public in 1973, but they became one of the biggest bands in the world by the end of the decade. Fifty years later, the band is still together and planning performances.

Aly & Aj have come a long way in the last 15 years. The sister duo, Aly and Aj Michalka, first rose to fame with pop rock hits like "Potential Breakup Song" and "Chemicals React" in the early 2000s, and over the years, fans have watched them mature not only as artists, but also as young women. In 2017, they made their nearly 10-year comeback to music with their '80s-inspired single, "Take Me," followed by their appropriately titled Ep, Ten Years, later that year.
Now, the ladies are back yet again. Following the release of their insanely catchy lead single "Church" and the upbeat track "Don't Go Changing" earlier this year, Aly & Aj released their new synth-pop Ep, Sanctuary, on May 10, and are currently performing across the country for their Sanctuary tour.
"A sanctuary can be something different for a lot of people, but for us, sanctuary really represents our fans.
