Explained simply
Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967. Their best-known line-up included singer Stevie Nicks and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, whose musical partnership and personal relationship became part of the band’s history.
The group’s 1977 album Rumours, made during a period of relationship break-ups among its members, became one of the best-selling albums of all time. Buckingham left the band in 2018, after decades of changes to its line-up, and has since performed separately from Nicks and the other members.
Rumours’ 50th anniversary falls in 2027, giving the band a milestone that could draw renewed attention to its history. Any reunion would involve several former bandmates, and past tensions have shaped whether they perform together.
