Instagram intrigue isn’t just reserved for the kids.
Fans of the legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac seemed to lose their minds earlier this month when they noticed that singer Stevie Nicks and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham had suddenly followed each other on social media.
The surprise connection sparked a wave of speculation, especially given the duo’s famously stormy love story.
But that was just the beginning.
A little less than a week later, each icon posted lyrics from their 1972 rock ballad “Frozen Love” to their accounts.

First, the “Landslide” singer shared an image of her own cursive handwriting, which read, “And if you go forward …”
Posting the second half of the lyric about an hour later, Buckingham’s read, “I’ll meet you there.”
Online, fans couldn’t help but hope there was something romantic about the joint posts.
“LOVE IS REAL,” one X user gushed.
“Imagine being 77 and still in a situationship with a man you met in the 1960s,” another wrote.
However, it now appears that the dual posts may have been more professional than personal.
On Monday, a billboard featuring the album cover of the pair’s 1973, pre-Fleetwood Mac era album, “Buckingham Nicks,” popped up above Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.
With the date Sept. 19 below, it is all but confirmed that a reissue was on the horizon.
“Frozen Love” holds quite a special place in Fleetwood Mac history.
In the 2013 documentary “Sound City,” Nicks, Buckingham, and the band’s co-founder and drummer, Mick Fleetwood, recounted how Buckingham’s searing guitar solo impressed Fleetwood so much that he eventually recruited the rocker to replace guitarist Bob Welch when he left the group.
Buckingham agreed, on one condition: his vocalist girlfriend, Nicks, would also join and come on board.
