Stevie Nicks had the 'everything I wanted to say to you for 35 years' talk with Lindsey Buckingham before tour

Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks rebuilt bridges with her former lover and bandmate Lindsey Buckingham by spending 90 minutes lecturing him about their 35-year friendship.

The pair lived together for five years before joining the band in 1975 but their romance ended a few years later and Nicks has been bottling up her feelings about Buckingham ever since.

The Don't Stop hitmakers announced last year (12) they were reuniting for a tour, and Nicks poured her heart out to Buckingham in a mammoth phone call in a desperate bid to clear the air ahead of the comeback.

She tells U.K. TV show Loose Women, "We are getting along probably better than we ever have... Because about a year and a half ago I had a talk with Lindsey. I had the 'everything I wanted to say to you for 35 years' talk. I started in 1968 and I worked up... I started with (recalling how) he cut my fingernail off once because he decided I should practice guitar more. That was not a good move on his part. And I went from there all the way up until now.

"I said, you know, 'Do you remember how funny and sweet we were? Do you remember how cute we were? Do you remember how when we walked in the room we were a power couple... Do you know how long it's been since we have not been that power couple? If we are going to do this again, we've got to go back to the way we were.'

"He was very quiet. It was a solid hour and a half where I never stopped talking... It's much better now since the talk. Now we walk onstage and we are holding hands.

Stevie Nicks praises Miley Cyrus: 'She has the ability to be great' Read more:

Stevie Nicks has praised Miley Cyrus, predicting that she will have a long and successful career.

The Fleetwood Mac star told the Loose Women panel that the 'Wrecking Ball' singer has the ability to become a "great songwriter".

Asked what advice she would give to young talent going off the rails, Nicks said: "I think that people will be sorry. I am going to use Miley Cyrus as an example as I happen to really like her.

"I happen to think that she - unlike some of the other rock and roll 'slash' actresses that we are really worried about - has the possibility and the ability to be a great actress, a great singer and probably a great songwriter and go on until she's my age.

"I think that she will not be very happy with what just went down two weeks ago. When you're really young, you don't think about even ten years from now or five years.

"I actually didn't either. I was really focused. I was really focused on who I wanted to be and what I wanted to be and I knew I was going to be in this business for a long time."

Cyrus has caused controversy in recent weeks with a provocative performance at the MTV VMAs and by going naked in her new music video.
