Fleetwood Mac are going on tour later this year, and they’re bringing along a new lineup after firing longtime guitarist Lindsey Buckingham due to supposed “scheduling conflicts.” But before the tour kicks off in October, the classic rockers made a pit-stop on 'Ellen' and in their first guest appearance on the show, debuted their new lineup. 

The televised appearance marked the longtime band’s first time playing live alongside guitarists Mike Campbell, formerly of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Crowded House’s Neil Finn, both of whom stepped in after Fleetwood Mac fired Lindsey Buckingham in April. The band chose two of their classic hits for the performance - the 1982 'Mirage' album-cut 'Gypsy' and the hit 1977 duet 'The Chain', which features a famous medley between Stevie Nicks and Buckingham and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.
