And it is these newcomers, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, and their tumultuous relationship, that are now making the group in the limelight.
In 1974, Fleetwood Mac sold Benifold, the Victorian country house where they had spent four years intermittently, and recorded both albums Penguin and Mystery to Me. The group, led by Mick Fleetwood, whose wife at the time, Jenny Boyd, originally from Guildford (whose brother-in-law was George Harrison of the Beatles) had bought Benifold for £ 23,000 in 1970.
The sale of the house, which Mick Fleetwood liked very much (as explained in his Play On autobiography), coincided with the group's growing success in the United States and the 1974 admission of American Nicks and Buckingham to the band, which was also at that time. Time, British John McVie, Christine McVie and American Bob Welch.
Now Fleetwood Mac telenovela, which has seen sales of 100 million albums of the group for 51 years often bypassed by their incessant struggles, is again attracting the attention of national and international media. Cheap tickets for Fleetwood Mac concert is on sale now at Ticket2Concert.
"The US-UK group finally imploded when one of its key members sued others to fire him," wrote Tom Leonard in Monday's Daily Mail.
Buckingham, singer, songwriter and lead guitarist since 1974, has called for multi-million dollar lawsuits from Fleetwood, Nicks and the McVies in Los Angeles lawsuit over tour proceeds to which he will not participate. Buckingham hinted that the problem lies between him and his former lover Nicks.
