( CNN ) -- It 's 35 years after the release of Fleetwood Mac 's groundbreaking album `` Rumours , '' and Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are holding hands . Maybe it 's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder . Or maybe it 's a put-on , knowing that fans are still intrigued by the complicated interpersonal drama that drives the band . `` Rumours '' gave listeners a voyeuristic peek into the messy romantic lives of the quintet . `` Go Your Own Way '' was Buckingham 's anguished kiss-off to Nicks . `` Do n't Stop '' was Christine McVie 's song of encouragement to her soon-to-be ex-husband , John McVie . A special anniversary reissue of `` Rumours '' is now available , with expanded and deluxe versions featuring previously unreleased demos and early takes , along with a dozen live recordings from the group 's 1977 world tour . At 35 , still the 'perfect album ' In April , Nicks and Buckingham will join drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie for their first tour in three years . In addition to their arsenal of beloved hits , they 're hoping to crowd-test three newly recorded tracks . `` We have two brand new songs and one really , really old song , '' Nicks said . The `` old '' tune predates Fleetwood Mac : an unreleased nugget written for the `` Buckingham Nicks '' LP , which marks its 40th anniversary this year . The two `` new '' tracks were penned by Buckingham . Last year , he went into the studio with Fleetwood and McVie to record eight songs they hoped would become the catalyst for a new Fleetwood Mac album . But Nicks had reservations . `` We really did n't want to rent a house for a year and then make a whole record with 13 , 14 , 15 songs on it , then have most of the people who are thinking about buying it buy one song , '' she explained . `` So we did the three songs , and we 'll see how the world reacts to that . If they love those three songs , then maybe they might talk us into doing something else . '' Maybe Nicks and Buckingham 's hand-holding is n't for the cameras . Maybe it 's to remind each other that despite their differences , they remain personally supportive and unified in their commitment to the juggernaut that is Fleetwood Mac -- even if it means playing mostly vintage hits for their upcoming tour . `` That 's okay , '' Buckingham conceded . `` That 's part and parcel with what we do . '' `` We laugh , '' added Nicks , `` but ( the classics are ) why we all have a beautiful house . ''
It 's the 35th anniversary of Nicks groundbreaking `` Rumours '' is now available . In three years , the group will tour for the 35th time in April .
