In spite of rampant speculation that Fleetwood Mac would be no-shows for their headlining slot at the Isle of Wight festival yesterday, the band took the stage and delivered a triumphant set.
There must be something going around among members of the British rock aristocracy, because three of its most prominent members have recently been forced to postpone tour dates.
Fleetwood Mac are partway through their next (and possibly final) studio album — which could end up being a double LP by the time recording wraps — but singer Stevie Nicks wants to get through the group's current tour before she gives the new record any serious thought.
By the time they achieved massive mainstream success in the mid-'70s, Fleetwood Mac had already been through more lineup changes than most bands manage in their entire careers, and their best-selling album, Rumours, was partly inspired by a pair of collapsing relationships between bandmates.
