In March 2008, it was mooted that [[Sheryl Crow]] might work with Fleetwood Mac in 2009. Crow and Stevie Nicks had collaborated in the past and Crow had stated that Nicks had been a great teacher and inspiration to her.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/03/17/people.crow.ap/ |title=Sheryl Crow to sing with Fleetwood Mac |agency=Associated Press |date=17 March 2008 |publisher=CNN |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080323033610/http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/03/17/people.crow.ap/ |archive-date=23 March 2008}}</ref> Later, Buckingham said that the potential collaboration with Crow had "lost its momentum"<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1044691/sans-crow-fleetwood-mac-to-tour-in-2009 |title=Sans Crow, Fleetwood Mac To Tour In 2009 |first=Gary |last=Graff |magazine=Billboard |date=23 July 2008 |access-date=25 March 2013 |archive-date=13 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140913062105/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1044691/sans-crow-fleetwood-mac-to-tour-in-2009 |url-status=live }}</ref> and the idea was abandoned.

In March 2009, Fleetwood Mac started their "[[Unleashed (concert tour)|Unleashed]]" tour, again without Christine McVie. It was a greatest hits show, although album tracks such as "[[Storms (Fleetwood Mac song)|Storms]]" and "[[I Know I'm Not Wrong]]" were also played. During their show on 20 June 2009 in [[New Orleans]], Louisiana, Stevie Nicks premiered part of a new song that she had written about [[Hurricane Katrina]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpost.php?p=827021&postcount=14 |title=The Ledge – View Single Post – New Orleans Arena, NOLA – June&nbsp;20,&nbsp;2009 |publisher=Ledge.fleetwoodmac.net |access-date=29 August 2010 |archive-date=25 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091125095317/http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showpost.php?p=827021&postcount=14 |url-status=live }}</ref> The song was later released as "New Orleans" on Nicks's 2011 album ''[[In Your Dreams (Stevie Nicks album)|In Your Dreams]]'' with Mick Fleetwood on drums. In October 2009 and November, the band toured Europe, followed by Australia and New Zealand in December. In October, 2002's ''[[The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac]]'' was re-released in the UK, this time using the US 2-CD track listing, entering at number six on the UK Albums Chart. On 1 November 2009 a one-hour documentary, ''Fleetwood Mac: Don't Stop'', was broadcast in the UK on [[BBC One]], featuring recent interviews with all four current band members.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nq7q9|title=Fleetwood Mac: Don't Stop – BBC One|publisher=BBC|access-date=26 May 2016|archive-date=25 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160625014316/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nq7q9|url-status=live}}</ref> During the documentary, Nicks gave a candid summary of the current state of her relationship with Buckingham, saying, "Maybe when we're 75 and Fleetwood Mac is a distant memory, we might be friends."

On 6 November 2009, Fleetwood Mac played the last show of the European leg of their ''Unleashed'' tour at London's [[Wembley Arena]]. Christine McVie was in the audience. Nicks paid tribute to her from the stage to a standing ovation from the audience, saying that she thought about her former bandmate "every day", and dedicated that night's performance of "[[Landslide (Fleetwood Mac song)|Landslide]]" to her. On 19 December 2009, Fleetwood Mac played the second-to-last show of their ''Unleashed'' tour to a sell-out crowd in New Zealand, at what was intended to be a one-off event at the [[Brooklands, Taranaki|TSB Bowl of Brooklands]] in New Plymouth. Tickets, after pre-sales, sold out within twelve minutes of public release. Another date, Sunday 20 December, was added<ref>{{cite web|title=Front Row King|url=http://frontrowking.com/buy-fleetwood-mac-concert-tickets/index.html|access-date=26 February 2014|archive-date=26 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226204823/http://frontrowking.com/buy-fleetwood-mac-concert-tickets/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and also sold out. The tour grossed $84,900,000 and was ranked No. 13 in the highest grossing worldwide tours of 2009. On 19 October 2010, Fleetwood Mac played a private show at the Phoenician Hotel in [[Scottsdale, Arizona]] for TPG ([[Texas Pacific Group]]).

On 3 May 2011, the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox Network]] broadcast an episode of ''[[Glee (TV series)|Glee]]'' entitled "Rumours" that featured six songs from the band's 1977 album.<ref>{{cite web|last=Semigran|first=Aly|title=Fleetwood Mac Teach 'Glee' Kids A Lesson On Rumours:New Directions took on six songs from the classic album as their own internal strife mirrored the band's|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1663211/glee-fleetwood-mac-rumours.jhtml|publisher=MTV|access-date=29 August 2011|archive-date=12 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812043339/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1663211/glee-fleetwood-mac-rumours.jhtml|url-status=dead}}</ref> The show sparked renewed interest in the band and its most commercially successful album, and ''Rumours'' re-entered the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart at No.11 in the same week that Nicks's solo album ''[[In Your Dreams (Stevie Nicks album)|In Your Dreams]]'' debuted at No.6. (She was quoted by ''Billboard'' saying that her new album was "my own little ''Rumours''."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Graff|first=Gary|title=Stevie Nicks Calls New Album ' My Own Little 'Rumours' '|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/471854/stevie-nicks-calls-new-album-my-own-little-rumours|magazine=Billboard|access-date=29 August 2011|archive-date=19 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130619223720/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/471854/stevie-nicks-calls-new-album-my-own-little-rumours|url-status=live}}</ref>) The two recordings sold about 30,000 and 52,000 units respectively. Music downloads accounted for 91 per cent of the ''Rumours'' sales. The spike in sales for ''Rumours'' represented an increase of 1,951%. It was the highest chart entry by a previously issued album since ''[[The Rolling Stones]]''' reissue of ''[[Exile On Main St.]]'' re-entered the chart at No. 2 on 5 June 2010.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Caulfield|first=Keith|title=Beastie Boys Score No. 2 Debut on Billboard 200, Adele Holds at No. 1|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/471634/beastie-boys-score-no-2-debut-on-billboard-200-adele-holds-at-no-1|magazine=Billboard|access-date=29 August 2011|archive-date=22 March 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130322070243/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/471634/beastie-boys-score-no-2-debut-on-billboard-200-adele-holds-at-no-1|url-status=live}}</ref> In an interview in July 2012 Nicks confirmed that the band would reunite for a tour in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|work=CBS This Morning|title=Fleetwood Mac to Reunite in 2013|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505270_162-57470124/stevie-nicks-fleetwood-mac-reunion-in-2013/|access-date=12 July 2012|archive-date=12 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120712060502/http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505270_162-57470124/stevie-nicks-fleetwood-mac-reunion-in-2013/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The band's 2013 tour, which took place in 34 cities, started on 4 April in [[Columbus, Ohio]]. The band performed two new songs ("[[Sad Angel]]" and "Without You"), which Buckingham described as some of the most "Fleetwood Mac-ey"-sounding songs since ''Mirage''. "Without You" was rerecorded from the Buckingham-Nicks era.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/04/fleetwood-mac-tour-band-34-city-april_n_2238053.html |title=Fleetwood Mac Tour: Band To Start 34-City Tour In April |work=HuffPost |date=4 December 2012 |access-date=4 December 2012 |archive-date=5 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121205010346/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/04/fleetwood-mac-tour-band-34-city-april_n_2238053.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The band released their first new studio material in ten years, ''[[Extended Play (Fleetwood Mac EP)|Extended Play]]'', on 30 April 2013.<ref name="Fleetwood Mac EP">{{cite web|last=Gallucci|first=Michael|title=Fleetwood Mac, "Extended Play" Album Review|url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/fleetwood-mac-extended-play-album-review/|access-date=24 May 2013|date=30 April 2013|archive-date=11 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511135138/http://ultimateclassicrock.com/fleetwood-mac-extended-play-album-review/|url-status=live}}</ref> The EP debuted and peaked at No. 48 in the US and produced one single, "[[Sad Angel]]".

On 25 and 27 September 2013, the second and third nights of the band's London O2 shows, Christine McVie joined them on stage for "Don't Stop".<ref name="Christine McVie Joins Fleetwood Mac Onstage">{{cite web |url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/christine-mcvie-fleetwood–mac–reunion-2/ |title=Christine McVie Reunites with Fleetwood Mac |date=26 September 2013 |access-date=23 November 2013 |archive-date=20 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181120160909/http://ultimateclassicrock.com/christine-mcvie-fleetwood%E2%80%93mac%E2%80%93reunion-2/ |url-status=live }}</ref> "[Buckingham's] words to us were, 'She can't just come and go,'" Nicks recalled. "That's important to him, but it's not so important to me... Much as Lindsey adores her – and he does; she's the only one in Fleetwood Mac he was ever really willing to listen to – he doesn't want the first-night reviews to be all about Christine's one song, rather than the set we rehearsed for two months. But it will be wonderful to have her back up there – and, from there, who knows?"<ref>{{cite journal|first= James |last= McNair |title= The Mojo Interview |journal= [[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]] |date=December 2013|issue=241|page=40}}</ref>

On 27 October 2013, the band cancelled their New Zealand and Australian performances after John McVie had been diagnosed with cancer so that he could undergo treatment. They said: "We are sorry not to be able to play these Australian and New Zealand dates. We hope our Australian and New Zealand fans as well as Fleetwood Mac fans everywhere will join us in wishing John and his family all the best."<ref name="Cancel2013">{{cite web | url=http://www.fleetwoodmac.com/news/186423 | title=Fleetwood Mac Cancels Australian/New Zealand Tour | publisher=Fleetwood Mac | date=27 October 2013 | access-date=27 October 2013 | archive-date=29 October 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029201855/http://www.fleetwoodmac.com/news/186423 | url-status=live }}</ref> Also in October 2013, Stevie Nicks appeared in ''[[American Horror Story: Coven]]'' with Fleetwood Mac's song "[[Seven Wonders (song)|Seven Wonders]]" playing in the background.<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=The Modern Knockoffs of Stevie Nicks|last=Ginsberg|first=Merle|page=18|date=1 March 2014|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|volume=126|issue=7|issn=0006-2510}}</ref> In November 2013, Christine McVie expressed interest in a return to Fleetwood Mac, and also affirmed that John McVie's prognosis was "really good".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/nov/22/christine-mcvie-wants-to-rejoin-fleetwood-mac |title=Christine McVie: I Want To Rejoin Fleetwood Mac |work=The Guardian |location=London |date=22 November 2013 |access-date=23 November 2013 |archive-date=23 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131123095605/http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/nov/22/christine-mcvie-wants-to-rejoin-fleetwood-mac |url-status=live }}</ref>
