Mick Fleetwood has shut the door on a Fleetwood Mac reunion with Lindsey Buckingham, insisting the group don't even talk about the possibility.

Buckingham was fired from the band in 2018 and replaced by Neil Finn and Mike Campbell, and the drummer can't imagine ever playing with his former bandmate again.

"Fleetwood Mac is a strange creature," Mick tells Rolling Stone. "We're very, very committed to Neil and Mike.

"His (Buckingham) legacy is alive and well, and as it should be. A major, major part that will never be taken away, and never be down-spoken by any of us. The situation was no secret. We were not happy. It was not working, and we parted company. And that really is the all of it."

Following his dismissal, Buckingham sued his former bandmates for breach of contract and lost wages. The suit was settled out of court.

Meanwhile, the guitarist is planning his return to the stage for the first time since he suffered a heart attack in early 2019.
