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.”
Buckingham has been married to photographer Kristen Messner since 2000, and the couple share three children.

Buckingham first gained attention in the early 1970s as part of the duo Buckingham Nicks with Stevie Nicks, but his career took off when both joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975.
Beyond Fleetwood Mac, he’s built a respected solo career. Buckingham is known for his experimental edge, cementing his status as one of rock’s finest musicians.
