Fleetwood Mac formed in 1967
in London.
The only original member present in the band today is its namesake
drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Despite band founder Peter Green naming
the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates
(Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers,
bassist John McVie did not play on their first single nor at their
first concerts. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, has, to date,
appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session
musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln
House.
The two most successful periods for the band were during the late
1960s British blues boom, when they were led by guitarist Peter
Green, and from 1975 to 1987, with more pop-orientation, featuring
Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
The band enjoyed more modest success in the intervening period
between 1971 and 1974, with the line-up including Bob Welch, and
also during the 1990s which saw more personnel changes before the
return of Nicks and Buckingham in 1997 and the departure of
Christine McVie.
On November 1, 2009, a new
one hour documentary, Fleetwood Mac: Don't Stop, was
broadcast in the UK on BBC One. The show is notable for Stevie
Nicks' candid summary of her current relationship with Buckingham:
"Maybe when we're 75 and Fleetwood Mac is a distant memory, we
might be friends...".
On November 6, 2009 Fleetwood Mac played the last show of the
European leg of their Unleashed tour at London's Wembley Arena.
Christine McVie was present in the audience, to whom Stevie Nicks
paid a tribute from the stage to a standing ovation from the
audience, stating that she thought about her former bandmate "every
day", and went on to dedicate that night's performance of
"Landslide" to McVie.
