Mick Fleetwood

Co-founder of the enormously successful band Fleetwood Mac, Mick Fleetwood has played on some of the most successful rock albums of all time through his turbulent career.

Fleetwood started as a drummer in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. In 1967, with fellow Bluesbreakers John McVie and Peter Green, he formed Fleetwood Mac, who gained a reputation as one of England’s finest blues groups.

They won acclaim for their raw blues numbers and songs such as ‘Black Magic Woman’. In 1969, they reached number 1 with their instrumental ‘Albatross’. 

Fleetwood’s band looked finished until he hired English singer Christine Perfect and Californian singer-songwriters (and couple) Lindsay
Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Soon, they were back on form, with a more commercial sound.

Their 1975 album, Fleetwood Mac was big, but nothing compared to its 1977 follow-up Rumours.

Containing the classics ‘Don’t Stop’, ‘Go Your Own Way’ and ‘Dreams’, it shot the band into superstardom. His band’s record became, and remained, one of the biggest albums ever.
