Fleetwood Mac: A Band Like No Other
Fleetwood Mac’s history is one of resilience, reinvention, and revolution. From the band’s formation in London in 1967 by drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist Peter Green, to its reinvention with the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in the mid-1970s, the group’s journey is both legendary and deeply human.
Their landmark 1977 album Rumours became one of the best-selling records of all time, selling over 40 million copies worldwide, and is still widely considered one of the greatest albums ever made. However, the success came amid personal heartbreak, internal turmoil, and fractured relationships—making Fleetwood Mac’s story not just about music, but about love, pain, and survival.
