There's an album on the way too...

Fleetwood Mac are planning to reform for a tour.

No dates have been finalised as yet, but the band are planning the reunion shows for early next year.

The American pop-rockers' guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has said that the band are planning to record a new album following the live dates.

According to CMU Daily he said: "I think maybe there was even a sense that we would make a better album if we went out and hung out together first on the road.

"Maybe even sowing some seeds musically that would get us more prepared to go in the studio rather than just going in cold. It takes the pressure [off] from having to go in and make something cold."

Buckingham also added that recent rumours suggesting that Sheryl Crow may join the band are untrue.

He explained: "I think with Stevie [Nicks], maybe to some degree there was a little too much testosterone on stage when we went out in 2003, and I think the band was looking to kind of balance that out a little bit, [but Sheryl's involvement] just kind of lost its momentum."

ERM...surely not an ageist "rock fan". mmm lets see Pete Green, L Buckingham.. oh yeah what do the old folks know. Pretty soon Metallica will need bath chairs, Pearl Jam will sit down to play and dont even mention led Zep (unless its very quiet in case you wake them up from an afernoon nap). Mum indeed.! Us old timers can just circle around to loads of indyclone stuff Is suppose because rock music has of course only just been invented...Get out some of those old things (we used to call them LP's) and find out where all these samples come from
