Their enthusiasm, determination and dedication is nothing short of remarkable. When you also consider the highs and lows, the successes and failures, the personal turmoil, tragedy and heartbreak through which this band has journeyed over the last 55 years ... the Fleetwood Mac story is transformed into pure drama. In this independent publication, music writer and journalist Pete Chrisp reveals the true story of how, over the last 55 years, despite all of those confrontations, pinnacles and all-time lows ...
