Lindsey Buckingham has sued Fleetwood Mac for firing him, Us Weekly reports and a representative for Buckingham confirms to Pitchfork. According to documents viewed by Pitchfork, Buckingham says he was informed by his manager that Fleetwood Mac “would proceed with its upcoming and already organized 2018 to 2019 concert tour without him,” and that “not a single member of the band” spoke to him directly about the decision.

Buckingham concedes in the court documents that he had asked the band to push back the start of the tour so that he could promote a new solo album. When they allegedly declined his request, he claims he agreed to delay the release of the album. Shortly after that, he was reportedly told by his manager that he would not be joining the tour, and his bandmates “suddenly cut [him] off entirely.” The lawsuit includes a message he sent to Mick Fleetwood attempting to stay in the band.

Buckingham is suing his bandmates for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of oral contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and more. Find the lawsuit below. A representative for Buckingham sent Pitchfork the following statement:

Last January, Fleetwood Mac made the decision to continue to tour without me. I remain deeply surprised and saddened, as this decision ends the beautiful forty three year legacy we built together.

A representative for Fleetwood Mac sent Pitchfork the following statement:

It’s impossible for the band to offer comment on a legal complaint they have not seen. It’s fairly standard legal procedure to service the complaint to the parties involved, something that neither Mr. Buckingham nor his legal counsel have done. Which makes one wonder what the true motivations are when servicing press first with a legal complaint before the parties in disputes.

UPDATE (10/12 5:38 p.m. ET): A representative for Fleetwood Mac has sent Pitchfork an updated statement:

Fleetwood Mac strongly disputes the allegations presented in Mr. Buckingham’s complaint and looks forward to their day in court. The band has retained Dan Petrocelli to handle the case.

In a recent interview, Buckingham elaborated on being fired: He claimed that, following a live performance, manager Irving Azoff informed him of a list of things that “Stevie took issue with” and told him, “Stevie never wants to be on a stage with you again.” In an interview with Rolling Stone, Stevie Nicks previously commented on his firing: “Our relationship has always been volatile.... This is sad for me, but I want the next 10 years of my life to be really fun and happy.”
