“This is categorically false”: Fleetwood Mac respond to reunion rumours
After rumours recently began to swirl surrounding a potential Fleetwood Mac reunion for JK Rowling’s 60th birthday party, the band’s representatives have set the record straight and confirmed these rumours are untrue.
The rumours were ignited after a source hinted to the Daily Mail that was perhaps on the cards. “It is going to be no-expense-spared,” the source said. “She always finds a superstar band to perform for her New Year parties so the birthday will be no different – in fact it could be bigger better than years gone by because this time it’s for her 60th birthday.”

But now, a rep for Fleetwood Mac has called this gossip out as being “categorically false”, adding, “It’s not in the realm of the true.”
As for why a Fleetwood Mac reunion could never be on the cards, band members agree that it’s impossible without Christine McVie, who passed away in 2022.
“When Christine died, Fleetwood Mac died… We cannot replace her,” Stevie Nicks told Rolling Stone in 2024.
Drummer Mick Fleetwood made similar comments in 2023, when he told press at the 2023 Grammys [via Consequence] that a Fleetwood Mac reunion was “unthinkable” following McVie’s death.
While the band did momentarily reunite for 2019 children’s hospital benefit concert and tour in 2018-2019, Christine McVie said in 2022 that the band “had kind of broken up again”. This wasn’t due to the band’s infamous relationship dramas, instead citing health reasons, telling Rolling Stone at the time that she didn’t “physically feel up for it.”
So no, don’t get too excited – Fleetwood Mac aren’t returning any time soon.
