To celebrate 50 years of the iconic Rumours line-up coming together, MOJO has compiled its finest writing on Fleetwood Mac into a deluxe 132-page bookazine. Via in-depth features and exclusive interviews, we chart their entire story, from the group’s early days on the London blues scene in the late ’60s, to their relocation to America in the 1970s that resulted in Buckingham and Nicks’ recruitment. We then follow their career through the band members’ tempestuous break-ups, love affairs, reconciliations and rock’n’roll excess that fed into their extraordinary, heartfelt music.
The first chapter opens with the salutary tale of Peter Green, the group’s gifted but troubled founder member, who suffered an LSD-induced breakdown in 1970, after which he famously gave away all his possessions. His departure left Mick Fleetwood and husband-and-wife team, John and Christine McVie, to forge on through several line-up changes and dwindling album sales, until Lindsey and Stevie’s arrival turned them into mega-selling global superstars. MOJO’s encounters with the group unveil the turbulent times behind the making of 1977’s Rumours and its challenging follow-up, Tusk, as well as the Mac’s difficult 1980s and subsequent reunion tours and recording sessions. And, to provoke and entertain, the MOJO team also presents their run-down of the 50 Greatest Fleetwood Mac songs.
Illustrated with rare and iconic photographs, Fleetwood Mac Rumours 1967-2025 is an essential purchase for the group’s fans and all music connoisseurs.
