Happy 73rd Birthday to long time Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham, he has today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 with “Trouble”.
The song was the first single from his first solo album “Law and Order” and reached #9 on the charts in 1981. In addition to his work with Fleetwood Mac, he recorded 7 solo albums and 3 live albums.
It was announced earlier today that he has scrapped the remainder of his current European tour for medical reasons. A statement on his Instagram feed reads, “Due to ongoing health issues, Lindsey Buckingham is regrettably having to cancel the remaining shows on his current European tour. Refunds will be available from the point of purchase. Lindsey sends his deepest apologies to all his fans who were planning to attend and hopes to return to Europe in the future.” It’s not clear what those health issues are.
In 2019, he had a heart attack and underwent triple-bypass surgery. That procedure required the insertion of a breathing tube that damaged his vocal cords, but luckily, it was only temporary.
So best wishes to Lindsey Buckingham and Happy Birthday from 105.7 KOKZ!
