Buckingham sued Fleetwood Mac over the termination, though they settled out of court. The guitarist spent the last few months playing solo gigs to promote his new three-disc set Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham.

“This past year has been a very stressful and difficult year for our family to say the least,” Kristen Buckingham wrote. “But despite all of this, our gratitude for life trumps all obstacles we have faced at this moment. We feel so fortunate that he’s alive. As does he. He looks forward to recovery and putting this behind him. Needless to say, all touring and shows currently schedule have been put on pause for the moment as he gathers the strength to heal completely.”

he said her husband's family has a history of heart issues. Buckingham's father died at 56 and his brother at 46 from heart-related illness, according to the post.

Last year, Buckingham was involuntarily expelled from the band Fleetwood Mac. In October, he sued the band members for the $12 million he lost in Fleetwood Mac's upcoming tour.
Buckingham wrote some of the band's most well-known songs, including "Go Your Own Way," which was the lead single off the band's highly successful 1977 album, "Rumours."
"This past year has been a very stressful and difficult year for our family to say the least. But despite all this, our gratitude for life trumps all obstacles we have faced at this moment. We feel so fortunate he's alive. As does he," Kristen Buckingham said.

I just saw him over in King Center (Melbourne, Fl.) he was AMAZING. His guitar is the best
( he strums -no pick) and his voice had great range.

Wishing him a full and speedy recovery. Love you dude.

PS. they had to intubate him -hence the vocal cord damage
