Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac’s backstory really is the stuff of legend. Their rollercoaster career has yielded sales of over 120 million albums, yet they’ve lost key members along the way and, when their profile was at its highest, the band’s inter-personal relationships fuelled the Hollywood gossip columns.

Divorced from the hubris, however, Fleetwood Mac have amassed one of rock and pop’s most estimable catalogues. They initially rose to prominence under the tutelage of mercurial singer/guitarist Peter Green during the British blues boom of the late 60s, before hitting almost unprecedented levels of superstardom after they recruited Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, who helped shape 1977’s era-defining Rumours. Successfully reinventing themselves during the following decade, they enjoyed further multi-platinum success with 1987’s epochal Tango In The Night and returned to the Top 3 of the Billboard 200 with their most recent studio album, 2003’s Say You Will. Still very much a going concern, their current line-up, featuring Crowded House’s Neil Finn and Tom Petty sideman Mike Campbell, proves that Fleetwood Mac remain the very epitome of resilience.
