-“fleetwood mac” are a ‘british-american’ rock band, formed in ‘london’ in 1967-
(the band has sold more than ‘100 million records’ worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of ‘all time’)
(in 1998, selected members of ‘fleetwood mac’ were inducted into the ‘rock and roll hall of fame’, and received the ‘brit award’ for ‘outstanding contribution to music’)
(the 2 most successful periods for the band were during the ‘late 1960s british blues boom’, when they were led by guitarist ‘peter green’ and achieved a UK #1 with “albatross”; and from ‘1975’ to ‘1987’, as a more ‘pop-oriented’ act, featuring ‘christine mcvie’, ‘lindsey buckingham’, and ‘stevie nicks’)
(“rumours” (1977), fleetwood mac’s 2nd album after the incorporation of ‘buckingham’ and ‘nicks’, produced 4 US ‘top 10’ singles and remained at #1 on the ‘american albums chart’ for ’31 weeks’, as well as reaching the ‘top spot’ in various countries around the world)
(to date, the album has sold over ’40 million copies’ worldwide, making it the 8th-highest-selling album of ‘all time’)
(the band achieved more modest success between ‘1971’ and ‘1974’, when the line-up included ‘bob welch’, during the ‘1990s’ in between the departure and return of ‘nicks’ and ‘buckingham’, and during the ‘2000s’ when ‘christine mcvie’ was absent)
(due to numerous lineup changes, the only original member present in the band is drummer ‘mick fleetwood’)
(although band founder ‘green’ named the group by combining the surnames of 2 of his former bandmates (‘fleetwood’ and ‘mcvie’) from ‘john mayall’s bluesbreakers’, bassist ‘john mcvie’ played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts, as he initially decided to stay with ‘mayall’)
(keyboardist ‘christine mcvie’, who joined the band in 1970 while married to ‘john mcvie’, has appeared on every album except the ‘debut album’, either as a member or as a ‘session musician’)
(she left the ‘band’ in ‘1998’ but returned in ‘2014’)
