It takes a lot of fortitude to log nearly five decades in a band as infamously tempestuous as Fleetwood Mac, so even though he isn't the most vocal fellow in the group, we know John McVie is a strong person. And according to McVie's longtime bandmate Stevie Nicks, it's that strength that will pull him through his recent cancer scare.
For the first time since one of their founders was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, Fleetwood Mac will return to the stage with a couple of concerts. The band will say goodbye to an eventful 2013 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for a public show tonight and a private date on New Year’s Eve.
Fleetwood Mac has announced that long-time bassist John McVie is battling an unspecified form of cancer, and that his treatment will force the group to cancel their upcoming tour plans.
We've held our breath for years hoping Christine McVie would come out of retirement and join her old Fleetwood Mac bandmates on tour...not gonna happen.
"Go Your Own Way" has topped Ultimate Classic Rock's list of Top 10 Fleetwood Mac songs. The track, which was released in December 1976 as a teaser to the following year's blockbuster Rumours album, is one of only three Top 10 hits Lindsey Buckingham wrote for the band. Coming in at Number Two is Stevie Nicks' 1977 companion piece to "Go Your Own Way" -- the band's one and only Number One hit, "Dreams" -- which also chronicled hers and Buckingham's romantic breakup. The Top Three is rounded out with the title track and first single from 1979's sprawling, experimental double album, Tusk.
