Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. Founded by guitarists and vocalists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, and drummer Mick Fleetwood. John McVie joined the line-up in time for their debut album. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist and vocalist in 1968. Keyboardist and vocalist Christine Perfect joined in 1970, becoming known as Christine McVie when she married John.
The band achieved a UK number one with “Albatross” and had other hits such as the singles “Oh Well”, “Man of the World”, and “The Green Manalishi”.
During the early 1970s Green, Spencer and Kirwan all left. They were replaced by guitarist and vocalist Bob Welch, guitarist Bob Weston and vocalist Dave Walker.
By 1974, Welch, Weston and Walker had all either departed or been dismissed, leaving the band without a male vocalist or a guitarist.
In late 1974, Mick Fleetwood heard the American folk-rock duo Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. He asked Buckingham to be their new guitarist and vocalist with Buckingham agreeing on the condition that Nicks could also join as vocalist.
After the addition of Buckingham and Nicks the 1975 album Fleetwood Mac reached No. 1 in the United States. Rumours (1977) produced four U.S. Top 10 singles and remained at number one on the American albums chart for 31 weeks. It also won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978. Rumours has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history.
The lineup remained stable for a few years but by the late 1980s began to disintegrate. After Buckingham and Nicks left, they were replaced by a number of other guitarists and vocalists. A 1993 one-off performance reunited Fleetwood, Nicks and Buckingham, and John and Christine McVie for the first time in six years.
A full reunion occurred four years later, and Fleetwood Mac released their fourth U.S. No. 1 album, The Dance (1997).
Christine McVie left in 1998 but continued to work with the band in a session capacity. They continued as a four-piece, releasing their studio album, Say You Will, in 2003. Christine McVie rejoined in 2014. In 2018, Buckingham left and was replaced by Mike Campbell.
Fleetwood Mac have sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands. In 1979, the group were honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1998 the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
