Authorities say that female attacker had been stalking Buckingham.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported further:

The 76-year-old former Fleetwood Mac guitarist was doused with an “unknown substance” by a woman when he walked into the Santa Monica building on Wednesday, April 1, according to NBC4 Investigates.

Authorities told the outlet that the woman, who is being regarded as a stalking suspect, has been involved in past run-ins with Buckingham. It’s unclear what type of appointment he was attending, but police believe she coordinated her attack with his scheduled engagement.

Buckingham was not injured in the incident, law enforcement told NBC4 Investigates, and no arrests have been made.

The incident comes days after Buckingham began teasing a reunion with his ex-lover and former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Stevie Nicks. Last year, the two previously reconciled to reissue their 1973 album “Buckingham Nicks,” their only studio release as a duo.

Two years ago, Buckingham got a restraining order against a stalker.

But, at this time, we don’t know if this woman was that same person or not.

Fox News noted:

Buckingham was granted a permanent restraining order against an alleged stalker in December 2024. It’s unclear if the case is connected to the recent reported attack.

The 2024 restraining order was issued by a Los Angeles judge after Buckingham testified in court and presented evidence, according to The Blast.

The woman, identified only as Michelle, had allegedly been harassing Buckingham and his family since 2021.

The musician claimed in his petition that Michelle had made threats to kill him and his family.

At the time, he wrote he was worried the alleged stalker’s “conduct may escalate into something physically dangerous to me and my family.”

Crazy stuff.

Pray for his safety.
