More Fleetwood Mac Information

In 1975, the group brought in the pop duo Lindsey Buckingham (guitar) and Stevie Nicks (vocals), creating what is now considered the band's classic lineup. The new Fleetwood Mac released its eponymous 1975 album, which became its biggest hit to date, reaching No. 1 in the US. Despite their success, the new group was beset by turmoil - both of the band's couples, John and Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, split the next year. However, out of struggle was born their biggest success - the 1977 smash hit Rumours. The Grammy winning album spawned four Top 10 singles "Go Your Own Way," "Don't Stop," "Dreams" and "You Make Loving Fun' and held the record for best selling album of all time until Michael Jackson released Thriller.

Taking a hiatus after Rumours, Fleetwood Mac reformed in 1985 and two years later, released Tango in the Night, which produced four Top 20 hits: "Big Love," "Everywhere," "Seven Wonders" and "Little Lies." The band continued throughout the 80's and 90's despite further lineup changes and the solo careers of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. In 1992, the Rumours era version of Fleetwood Mac -- Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham -- reformed again to perform at Bill Clinton's inauguration. Although a version of the band toured with Pat Benetar in 1995, in 1997 the classic line-up released The Dance, followed by a sold-out world tour. Fleetwood Mac celebrated the beginning of 2004 with world and US tours, and a VH1 behind the scenes documentary on their fifteenth studio album Say You Will - their first new release since 1997 and the first album in almost thirty years not to feature Christine McVie.
