BIOGRAPHICAL PROFILE
Mick Fleetwood
A British born American musician best known for his role as the drummer with the blues/rock and roll band Fleetwood Mac.
His name, combined with that of John McVie was the inspiration for the name of the originally Peter Green-led Fleetwood Mac.
Aside from his work as a drummer, he also helped form the different incarnations of his band Fleetwood Mac, and is the sole member to stay with the band through its ever-changing lineup.
In 1974, he met and invited Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to join Fleetwood Mac.
He dropped out of school aged 15, and, in 1963, moved to London to pursue a career as a drummer.
Keyboard player Peter Bardens gave Fleetwood his first gig in Bardens’ band The Cheynes, thus seeding the young drummer’s musical career.
Fleetwood was asked a few months later by singer and guitarist Peter Green to join him along with bassist John McVie in his new band Fleetwood Mac.
More than fifty albums have been released under the name Fleetwood Mac – by far the most popular being the two mega-platinum sets the group put out in the late seventies: Fleetwood Mac and Rumours.
He is the author of Fleetwood – My Life and Adventures with Fleetwood Mac, his memoirs of his life, especially with Fleetwood Mac, published in 1990.
Early Fleetwood Mac consisted of:
PETER GREEN – guitar
JOHN McVIE – bass
MICK FLEETWOOD – drums
JEREMY SPENCER – guitar, vocal
The group as such charted with the famous instrumental
“ALBATROSS” – 1968 and “BLACK MAGIC WOMAN” – 1963
With many changes to come in the band the one thing that
would never change was the rhythm section, Mick Fleetwood.
The would change their style and become on eof the most
original units ever.
The group would later retrieve Mcvie,Christeine Perfect,
Lindsay Buchingham and Stevie Nicks with Fleetwood on
drums the group were to enter the world and take it
like a storm.
Mick Fleetwood became a US citizen on 22 November 2006 in Los Angeles, California.
