“So, the therapist said, ‘why don’t you just a buy a ticket.

“I said Maui because that’s where Mick was living at the time,” she said. She had started seeing a therapist to deal with her flying phobia, who – after a few sessions – asked her where in the world she’d most to be if she could fly anywhere. But Mick Fleetwood has a knack of bringing people together, and he reached out to McVie at the right time. A fear of flying stopped her from going too far. She moved to Kent where she restored a Tudor house and kept a low profile. In days that are really makes people smile, and I'm so happy to be part of it. 'I just want to say, outside of Fleetwood Mac, we owe you. However, being on the road took its toll on McVie and in 1998 – the same years she was inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - she quit the band and went into retirement for 15 years. Fleetwood continued on a broader note, applauding Apodaca for using his creativity to bring people joy during a hard time. Stevie used to call me Mother Earth because I was always pretty grounded.”

I was kind of the good girl in the group. “Except I once threw a cake out the window which landed on top of taxi. “We all drank a lot and did a lot of cocaine, we partied a lot, I don’t think I did anything terribly outrageous,” she says.

Fleetwood Mac: As Long As You Follow Fleetwood Mac (1988).

I have more of a normal life than her and that keeps me grounded. Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. We’re quite different in that way - I have an outside life. “The more I see her perform on stage the better I think she is. “Stevie is just unbelievable,” says McVie. McVie says it was and still is their differences that make them close. They shared and experienced a lot together – bad break-ups and affairs that probably shouldn’t have happened but did – all on a diet of drugs, alcohol and zero sleep. McVie and Stevie Nicks shared a particularly close bond – Nicks calls her a mentor, sister and best friend. But it wasn’t and still isn’t just the music that fans gravitate towards it’s also to do with the chemistry shared between band members. In November, Stevie Nicks sold 80% of the rights to her own songwriting catalogue, including Fleetwood Mac hits like Rhiannon and Dreams, to music publisher Primary Wave for a reported $100m (£73m).įleetwood's deal came after he partnered with BMG for a tribute concert in honour of his former bandmate Peter Green last year.Fleetwood had a sound that was pivotal not only to the generation they were first born into, but for generations to come. Most other deals concern publishing rights - ie the copyright in the songs themselves, incorporating the lyrics and music.įleetwood's publishing rights are already part-owned by the investment company Hipgnosis, which has also acquired the back catalogue of his bandmate Lindsey Buckingham. He has sold the rights to his share in Fleetwood Mac's recordings - ie the master tapes they created in the studio over the last 50 years (not including the band's first two albums).

The deal with BMG means Fleetwood has traded his future earnings from the sale of the band's music for an upfront payment. The deal covers classic albums including Rumours, Fleetwood Mac, Tango In The Night and Tusk, representing 300+ songs. The name "Fleetwood Mac" was probably affected to some degree. In January, Mick Fleetwood sold his share of the band's recordings to music company BMG. I doubt anyone will have the answer, because it's most likely very complicated.
