Guitarist and songwriter Lindsey Buckingham, who was unceremoniously let go from Fleetwood Mac in 2018, posted a video of himself riding on a horse while swigging Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice, as 'Dreams' plays in the background.
'Made this with my girls this weekend,' he captioned the clip.

Ironically, 'Dreams' was written by Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks about her relationship with Buckingham, which was falling apart at the time the song was written and recorded.
As previously reported, both 'Dreams' and its parent album, Rumours, have re-entered the Billboard charts thanks to the viral success of 'Dreams' on TikTok, which was started by Idaho man Nathan Apodaca. The video he created while swigging the juice and lip-syncing to 'Dreams' while riding on a skateboard has more than 10 million likes.
Stevie and Mick Fleetwood were also inspired to create their own 'Dreams' TikToks in response.

A 1977 Fleetwood Mac song has recorded its biggest ever week on streaming services, thanks to a TikTok video.
Dreams entered Spotify's Top 40 most-played songs on Tuesday, nestling up against hits by AJ Tracey and Cardi B.

Fleetwood Mac's drummer Mick Fleetwood later recreated the clip on his TikTok.
Spotify users in the UK played Dreams more than a million times in the 10 days after Nathan Apodaca, from Idaho, uploaded the original video on 25 September.
That's almost double the song's streaming numbers (538,000) in the preceding 10 days.
Last week, Dreams returned to the UK Top 100 at number 85, marking its first appearance in the charts since 2011, when the TV show Glee devoted an episode to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album. It is expected to climb the charts again this Friday.
Even without the help of viral memes, Fleetwood Mac's back catalogue is a consistent performer on streaming services.
According to the BPI, Dreams was streamed 24.2 million times last year, making it one of the most-played 1970s songs.

The 37-year-old, who works as a labourer at a potato warehouse and lives in a trailer outside his brother's house, has subsequently been swamped with interview requests, while rapper Travis Scott has asked him to make a promotional video.
Speaking to his local newspaper, Apodaca said he had received more than $20,000 (£15,400) in donations from viewers since his video took off. He gave $5,000 to his mother and bought his dad a truck.
Only his sister turned him down. 'She's like, 'I'm stable enough, you do you, as soon as you get your house and you're stable then you can go ahead and give me something,' he said.
One-take video
Apodaca said he originally filmed the Dreams video after his car battery died on the way to work.
'I turned around, grabbed my board, because I always have my board, grabbed my juice I had with me and I just started going.'
The clip, which was captioned 'morning vibe' was shot in a single take and uploaded before his shift started. By lunchtime, Apodaca had received a million views on TikTok.
Fleetwood Mac later shared the video on their Twitter account, declaring: 'We love this!'
Mick Fleetwood joined TikTok and uploaded his own version on Sunday, saying Apodaca 'had it right.. Dreams and cranberry just hits different'.

'Yoooo,' wrote Apodaca in a comment under the video. 'So dope and blessed. Stay steady vibin' homie.'
