Fleetwood Mac is a British-American rock band formed in London in 1967 by guitarist Peter Green, who named the group after their rhythm section, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. Initially known for their British blues sound, they earned early success in the UK with hits like Albatross and Oh Well. After several early line-up changes and the addition of keyboardist and vocalist Christine McVie in 1970, the band's sound evolved. Their most famous line-up took shape in 1974 with the arrival of American musicians Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, shifting the group toward a more melodic pop rock style. Fleetwood Mac achieved massive commercial and critical success, especially with their 1977 album Rumours, which topped charts worldwide and won the Grammy for Album of the Year. Over decades, the band went through numerous changes, released major albums like Fleetwood Mac and The Dance, and sold over 120 million records globally, making them one of the world's best-selling bands. Fleetwood Mac’s legacy includes induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and several major music awards. The band’s activities slowed after the passing of Christine McVie in 2022, with Stevie Nicks confirming in 2024 that Fleetwood Mac would not continue without her.
