Buckingham last played with Fleetwood Mac at a Grammy MusiCares event in NY in January 2018 when the famously dysfunctional British-American band were happily celebrated by their peers.

"We feel so fortuante he's alive".

Last year, he departed the band once again amid controversy, with Lindsey filing a lawsuit in which he claimed he had lost up to $14 million as a result of being fired from the group. "As does he. He looks forward to recovery and putting this behind him", she added. "As does he", Kristen Buckingham said.

His former bandmates ignored their drama on Friday and wished the guitarist well, tweeting: "We are saddened by this news". She noted that the family shared its story in hopes that it would inspire others to seek preventative care. "We are hopeful for his speedy recovery". His role in the touring version of Fleetwood Mac is now being filled by Neil Finn of Crowded House and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
