In 1975, this lineup released their first album, Fleetwood Mac’s second self-titled album which is commonly referred to as “The White Album.” Nearly a decade after the band’s original formation, singles like “Say You Love Me” and “Rhiannon” led to overwhelming success – and to the downfalls of such fame, including drugs and alcohol and the dissolutions of the McVie’s marriage and the Buckingham/Nicks romantic partnership. Rock music history was made when Fleetwood heard a recording by Lindsey Buckingham and his partner Stevie Nicks, leading to their inclusion in the group. This lineup changed several times over the next few years, including the addition of guitarist Danny Kirwan, the departure of Green in May 1970 and the addition of John’s wife Christine later that year, and the addition of Bob Welch on guitar after the departure of Spencer in 1971.Īfter several years of professional upheaval and rotating band members, Fleetwood and the McVies eventually moved from England to Los Angeles in 1974. In 1967, British guitarist Peter Green formed the band that would eventually be known as Fleetwood Mac, with drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie (who replaced Bob Brunning early on) and slide guitarist Jeremy Spencer.
