Former Fleetwood Mac frontman Lindsey Buckingham<\/a> will return to the stage this coming spring for his first concert since he underwent emergency open-heart surgery in early 2019, an operation that reportedly damaged his vocal cords<\/a>. Doctors fed tubes down his throat so he could breathe.<\/p>\n

The performance will take place at the Beale Street Music Festival<\/a> in Memphis, Tennessee\u2019s Tom Lee Park; the dates for the festival run May 1st to the 3rd.<\/p>\n

Buckingham experienced a heart attack<\/a> in the early part of 2019, and, at the time, his wife Kristen said she didn\u2019t know if the vocal-cord damage would be permanent or not. In May, Buckingham made an appearance at his daughter\u2019s high school graduation, where he played \u2014 but did not sing \u2014 \u201cLandslide.\u201d Instead, the students sang the Fleetwood Mac hit.<\/p>\n

The last time he played a full concert was in December 2018. It was a solo show, since Fleetwood Mac dismissed him in the spring of 2018, reportedly over tension with Stevie Nicks. Buckingham sued Fleetwood Mac in 2018 and settled out of court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past year has been a very stressful and difficult year for our family to say the least,\u201d Kristen said in her statement at the time of Lindsey\u2019s heart attack \u2014 referencing his dismissal from the band. \u201cBut despite all of this, our gratitude for life trumps all obstacles we have faced at this moment. \u2026 Needless to say, all touring and shows currently scheduled have been put on pause for the moment as he gathers strength to heal completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although she released numerous tweets attacking Fleetwood Mac \u2014 calling them \u201cawful people, void of conscience\u201d<\/a> and Mick Fleetwood, in particular, a \u201cdishonest coward\u201d<\/a> \u2014 Kristen hasn\u2019t said anything about her husband\u2019s ability to sing. That said, in May, she tweeted<\/a> that Buckingham was seeing a vocal specialist, and in September, she wrote<\/a> that \u201clife, love and Lindsey are all great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Lindsey\u2019s heart attack, the Buckinghams have placed their Brentwood, California, home on the market<\/a> with an asking price of $29.5 million; they sold another home there for $19 million last year.<\/p>\n
