Lindsey Buckingham hinted at a possible future collaboration with rising pop star Sombr after presenting him with the Songwriter of the Year award at Variety's Power of Young Hollywood event on 5 August 2026. The Fleetwood Mac guitarist and songwriter said Sombr had reached out to him a few months earlier to express how influential Buckingham had been on his music, and had floated the idea of working together, though nothing concrete has been arranged.

Sombr, known for hits including "Back to Friends" and "Homewrecker", bowed to Buckingham on stage after receiving the honour, a gesture that resonated widely with fans online for showing respect towards an established musician. Buckingham, however, was cautious about the prospect of an actual collaboration, citing busy schedules for both artists and stressing that no format or timeline had been decided, saying only that "we will just have to wait and see".
