Yet despite their dysfunction, they have produced hit after hit—“Dreams,” “Rhiannon,” “Gypsy,” “The Chain,” “Lies,” “Landslide”—and secured a spot as one of the most successful bands of all time, having sold more than 100 million albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormed in London in 1967 by guitarist Peter Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood, and guitarist Jeremy Spencer, Fleetwood Mac started life as a British blues band. Core member, John McVie, joined the line-up for their self-titled debut album, and then in 1970, McVie's wife Christine Perfect joined as a keyboardist and vocalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing further line-up changes—most significantly Green's and Spencer's departures due to drugs and God, respectively, and even a bogus “Fakewood Mac”—Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined in 1974, giving the band more of a rock-pop sound. This line-up brought the band global success, most notably with the seminal album, \u003cem\u003eRumours\u003c\/em\u003e (1977); to date, it has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the following four decades, Fleetwood Mac has continued to put out music and perform sell-out shows, despite weathering personal fallouts, solo careers, drug addiction, and firings. The outpouring of love following Christine McVie's death in late 2022 shows just how much the band means to fans and critics alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFleetwood Mac Everywhere\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-have celebration of one of the most enduring—despite the drama—acts in rock music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e A musician on the 1960s R\u0026amp;B and rock scene, Mike Evans began writing about music in the 1970s, presenting a weekly show on local radio and as a regular contributor to the leading UK music weekly \u003cem\u003eMelody Maker\u003c\/em\u003e.
