A routine outing turned unsettling for Lindsey Buckingham after a woman allegedly tracked him down and confronted him in Santa Monica.
According to the New York Post, the incident unfolded on Wednesday while the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and vocalist was attending an appointment in the area.
Authorities say the situation escalated quickly when the suspect approached and threw an unknown substance in Buckingham’s direction before fleeing, per NBC4.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Santa Monica Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department, are now working together to investigate what they describe as a targeted incident.
According to police, the woman had prior knowledge of Buckingham’s schedule and managed to locate him at the appointment, raising concerns about how she obtained that information.
Despite the alarming nature of the encounter, officials confirmed that no one was injured. The suspect also managed to escape the scene, and no arrest has been made so far.
Investigators indicated that the woman is not a stranger to Buckingham. Police sources told NBC4 that she is known to him from previous incidents, suggesting a possible pattern of behavior.
The episode has drawn attention not only because of the nature of the alleged attack but also because of Buckingham’s high profile in the music world.
As a key creative force behind Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham helped shape some of the band’s most recognizable songs, including “Go Your Own Way,” “Never Going Back Again,” and “Holiday Road.”
For now, the investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify and locate the suspect.
