	Fleetwood Mac is one of those rare bands whose story is almost as legendary as the music itself. It all begins in 1967, when guitarist Peter Green, who is making a name for himself within John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, decides he wants to follow his own musical path. He forms a new band together with drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, two musicians who not only understand his style but also share his vision. The name of the band, Fleetwood Mac, is a tribute to the rhythm section that from the very beginning forms the backbone of the group. In these early years everything revolves around British blues, a genre that is rapidly rising in popularity. The band releases songs that immediately stand out for their intensity and emotional depth. “Black Magic Woman” is one of the first tracks that shows how powerful Peter Green is as a songwriter, and although Santana later turns it into a global hit, the original version remains a raw classic. Not long after comes the dreamy, almost weightless “Albatross,” an instrumental track that gives the band a major hit and proves they can do far more than blues alone. The melancholic “Need Your Love So Bad” strengthens their reputation as one of the most promising bands in the United Kingdom. But behind the scenes, trouble is already brewing. Peter Green struggles with mental health issues and increasingly heavy drug use, especially LSD, which affects his behavior and creativity in unpredictable ways. In 1970 he leaves the band, a blow that is difficult to process. Fleetwood Mac loses not only its founder but also its main songwriter and frontman. Still, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie decide to continue. Christine Perfect, who will later become Christine McVie, joins as a keyboardist and vocalist. Her warm voice and melodic sensibility bring a new dimension to the band’s music, a softer, more pop‑oriented direction that will later prove crucial. The problems, however, are far from over. In 1971 Jeremy Spencer, one of the original guitarists, suddenly disappears during a tour. He joins a religious sect and never returns to the band. Fleetwood Mac must once again search for stability and a new musical direction. Danny Kirwan, a young guitarist with a sharp ear for melody, takes on a larger role, but he too struggles with personal issues and is eventually dismissed. During these years the band slowly drifts away from pure blues and begins exploring new styles, ranging from rock to folk and pop. Bob Welch, Bob Weston and Dave Walker come and go, and although the band continues to make interesting music, it lacks the consistency and commercial success of its earlier years. The real turning point comes in 1974, when Fleetwood Mac relocates to the United States and begins searching for a new guitarist. Mick Fleetwood happens to hear the album by the duo Buckingham Nicks and is impressed by Lindsey Buckingham. When he asks Buckingham to join the band, Lindsey agrees on one condition: his partner Stevie Nicks must also be included. It turns out to be one of the most important decisions in the band’s history. With Buckingham and Nicks, Fleetwood Mac gains an entirely new identity. Buckingham brings a sharp, rhythmic guitar style and an obsession with arrangements and production, while Nicks adds a mystical, poetic energy that immediately stands out. Their first album in this new lineup, simply titled Fleetwood Mac, is released in 1975 and contains songs that will later become iconic. “Rhiannon” showcases the enchanting power of Stevie Nicks, while “Landslide” becomes one of the most beloved and vulnerable songs in the band’s repertoire. The success of this album is enormous, but it is only a prelude to what is coming. During the recording of the next album, Rumours, the band finds itself in an emotional storm. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks break up, John and Christine McVie divorce, and Mick Fleetwood goes through a separation of his own. Tensions run high, but instead of breaking the band apart, the chaos seems to fuel an unprecedented creative explosion. The songs that emerge from this period are among the most timeless in pop history. “Dreams,” written by Stevie Nicks, becomes the band’s only number‑one hit in the United States. Lindsey Buckingham responds with the fierce “Go Your Own Way,” a song that expresses the pain of their breakup in raw and direct terms. Christine McVie contributes the optimistic “Don’t Stop” and the tender “Songbird,” while “The Chain” becomes a rare collective composition symbolizing the band’s connection despite everything threatening to pull them apart. Rumours becomes one of the best‑selling albums of all time, with more than 40 million copies sold worldwide. The album is a perfect combination of personal emotion, musical refinement and universal themes, and decades later it remains just as relevant. After this massive success, however, the band decides not to play it safe. Lindsey Buckingham pushes the group in an experimental direction for the 1979 album Tusk. The title track “Tusk” is an unusual mix of rock, marching‑band elements and avant‑garde production. Although the album is commercially less successful than Rumours, it is later recognized as a visionary work far ahead of its time. In 1982 the band returns to a more accessible sound with Mirage, which includes songs like “Gypsy” and “Hold Me.” The album is well received and brings Fleetwood Mac back to the top of the charts. Yet the 1980s increasingly revolve around solo projects. Stevie Nicks achieves major success with her solo career, Lindsey Buckingham releases his own albums, and Christine McVie works on her own music. The band continues to exist, but the focus shifts and the internal dynamics become more complex. In 1987 Tango in the Night is released, one of the band’s best‑selling albums. It includes hits such as “Little Lies,” “Everywhere” and “Big Love.” Despite the success, Lindsey Buckingham leaves the band shortly after the release due to tensions and creative differences. His departure marks the end of the classic Rumours lineup. The band continues with new members, including Billy Burnette and Rick Vito, but the magic of the earlier years is never fully recaptured. In 1997 the classic lineup reunites for the live album The Dance, which becomes a major success and brings the band back into the spotlight. Christine McVie leaves the band in 1998 but returns in 2014. Fleetwood Mac continues to tour worldwide and remains one of the most beloved live acts. In 2018 Lindsey Buckingham is once again dismissed from the band and replaced by Neil Finn and Mike Campbell. Despite these changes, Fleetwood Mac remains a cultural phenomenon, a band that continues to inspire generations. Their story is one of constant transformation, personal struggle and artistic triumph. From the blues of Peter Green to the pop‑rock of Rumours, from internal fractures to global success: Fleetwood Mac remains a band that not only makes music but writes history.
