Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac is a British-American rock band formed in London in 1967 by guitarist and singer Peter Green. The band was named by combining the surnames of drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, who have remained with the band throughout its numerous line-up changes. Initially a British blues band, Fleetwood Mac achieved early success with a UK number one single in 1968, "Albatross," and other hits like "Man of the World" and "Oh Well."

After Green's departure in 1970, Christine McVie joined the band, contributing vocals and keyboards. The band underwent several personnel changes before Mick Fleetwood discovered the American folk rock duo Buckingham Nicks in 1974. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac, shifting the band's sound towards pop rock. Their 1975 self-titled album topped the Billboard 200, and their 1977 album, "Rumours," became a global success, winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and selling over 40 million copies worldwide.

The band's line-up remained stable through several more albums, but began to disintegrate by the late 1980s. Buckingham left in 1987, followed by Nicks in 1990. A reunion of the classic line-up occurred in 1993 for a one-off performance and again in 1997 for a full-scale reunion. Fleetwood Mac has sold over 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music acts of all time.
