While the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented musicians from racing around the globe on their normal touring schedules, many have used the pandemic as an opportunity to provide their fans with a glimpse into their personal life, livestreaming pared-back concerts from bedrooms and other intimate settings. Now Lindsey Buckingham is the latest artist to join the trend, announcing a live show from his home studio in Los Angeles on Dec. 5.
“I’ve been laying low just like everybody else, and I haven’t seen any of you for a while,” said the former Fleetwood Mac-guitarist in a video on Facebook, explaining his decision to air the concert. “You can all watch it from the comfort of your own homes.”
Buckingham underwent open-heart surgery in 2019 and suffered vocal cord damage as a result. He sang for the first time since his operation in a four-song performance over Zoom in August.
In the Dec. 5 livestream, Buckingham will perform a selection of hits from his illustrious career, and will chat with fans in a Q&A session. The set will start at 8:30 p.m. EST and will last 45 minutes. Tickets start at $15 and go on sale Friday, Nov. 13, and will grant access to the VIP Q&A session and other exclusive merchandise. The full concert will be available to ticket holders for 48 hours following the stream.
