  • Fleetwood Mac is one of the biggest bands in pop and rock history. They’ve been at the top of the U.S. charts many times over the years, and have been one of the best-selling bands out there for decades. From humble beginnings in the early 1970s to being on top of the music world in the years to come, Fleetwood Mac has done it all.

    And like all bands, they have their share of personality clashes, arguments, and musical disagreements. That’s pretty much par for the course when you put talented and creative people together for long periods of time. Especially in a single tour bus! But unlike many of the most famous bands of history, Fleetwood Mac’s troubles came of the romantic variety as well. Members of the band were in relationships, some were married, and some had affairs with each other. Before joining the band, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were a couple who had released an album on their own. But the pressures of being a couple while also performing together proved too much for them. Stevie also got involved with band founder Mick Fleetwood, but that relationship also soured. Then there was the crazy up and down marriage of John and Christine McVie.
    That situation spurred several affairs that led to band firings and a divorce. Of course, a lot of the issues started because of drugs and alcohol, which were both rampant during that time and in the band. In this video, we explore the chaotic affairs within Fleetwood mac that nearly broke up the band. It’s a wild tale of cheating, drugs, booze, and music. And despite it all, the band still managed to produce some of the greatest songs in modern music history!

    I have a friend in the industry that has played with some pretty big names and one thing he told me was some of the best songs are written when someone is in pain. They were out of control with the drugs and alcohol and god only knows the pain that they all were in while they put down some of the best tracks ever. It amazes me to this day at how they managed to stay together as a band with all of that drama.

      Amy Winehouse was an absolute master of it.
      Back to black was all about her hurt, and I wish her soul nothing but peace
      Sadly, I was imprisoned with her boyfriend after her death, and he literally couldn't care less. He openly admitted he was only after her money, and he was hated by the lads.
      Despite being crooks, they had a strong moral compass, and hated this bullying bastard.

I really feel that if they could have been more music and less drama things would have been even more successful. I turned them off after learning about all their personal issues 🙅‍♀️

    For our sin, breaking God’s law, we are punished by burning in Hell for eternity, a place with no hope for our salvation. But God loved you, along with everyone else, so much and with all his heart that he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, to this cursed world to be crucified on the cross. Now whosoever accepts Jesus Christ, God’s Son, as their Lord and Savior and believes he rose from the dead the third day will be saved from eternal damnation in Hell and live in Heaven in paradise with him forever. Repent of your sins and accept the Lord Jesus Christ or face God’s righteous judgment.
