Lindsey Buckingham is back in public view following a shocking alleged attack earlier this week.
The Fleetwood Mac icon, 76, was spotted driving in Los Angeles on Friday—marking his first sighting since a woman reportedly threw an unidentified substance at him during an incident in Santa Monica just days prior.
The Daily Mail obtained the exclusive images.
Despite the unsettling encounter, Buckingham appeared physically unharmed and was able to leave his Brentwood home behind the wheel of his car.
While the legendary guitarist health status after the incident is currently not known, the sighting offered reassurance to fans concerned about his well-being after news of the incident broke.
All About the Scary Moment
According to reports, the alleged attack occurred as Buckingham arrived for an appointment.
A woman—believed to be known to him from past incidents—approached and threw an unknown substance before fleeing the scene.
Authorities have since identified the suspect, though no arrest had been made as of midweek.
Law enforcement sources indicated that an arrest is expected.
The situation is particularly alarming given Buckingham’s history with the woman.
The incident comes just over a year after he was granted a permanent restraining order against a 54-year-old woman who had allegedly harassed his family.
The individual reportedly began contacting Buckingham’s wife in 2021, claiming to be his biological daughter.
Officials believe the suspect may have tracked Buckingham’s schedule, discovering the time and location of his appointment before carrying out the alleged attack.
Buckingham’s Family Was Seen at His Home
In the aftermath, Buckingham’s inner circle has rallied around him.
His 26-year-old daughter, Leelee Welles Buckingham, was seen arriving at his home alongside her boyfriend, offering support during what appears to be a distressing time for the family.
Fans also quickly flooded social media with messages of concern and encouragement for the beloved musician, praising his resilience and expressing relief that he was not seriously injured.
”That is disturbing incident no one should have to deal with that, especially in public. It also raises concerns about safety for artists and public figures,” one fan noted.
Buckingham, best known for his work with Fleetwood Mac, has remained a defining figure in rock music for decades.
While he has faced personal and professional challenges over the years, the recent incident adds another unexpected chapter to his story.
For now, the focus remains on his safety and recovery, as authorities continue their investigation into the alleged assault.
