Fleetwood Mac is arguably one of the most iconic bands to exist… ever.
It is one of the few bands to have fans across multiple generations, beloved for their iconic songs and a best-selling album. Now, the inner-workings of their band will be brought to light in a tell-all documentary.
Fleetwood Mac announced the news of their upcoming feature-length documentary through a newly-created Instagram account.
They posted a collection of black-and-white photos of the band when they were younger with the caption, “It’s not a Rumour. From director Frank Marshall, this Apple Original Films documentary will take you on the epic journey of the generation-defining Fleetwood Mac.”
The fully authorised film will be directed by Frank Marshall, who has also previously created the Beach Boys documentary as well as The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.
“I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about,” Frank Marshall said.
“Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real-time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”
What is the story behind Fleetwood Mac?
Since Fleetwood Mac was formed nearly 60 years ago in 1967, the band has become one of the most famous and influential rock bands in history. But it wasn’t just their music that enticed fans.
Their 1977 album Rumours became one of the best-selling albums of all time, and its success was fuelled not only by the countless hit songs, like Go Your Own Way and Dreams, but also the personal drama within the band including breakups, divorces, and tension between members.
Fleetwood Mac has had numerous line-up changes over the years, but the band originally comprised four members: Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John Mayall, and Jeremy Spencer.
However, the longest-standing and most recognisable line-up includes Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, who were together from 1974 to 1987.
This upcoming documentary will showcase all the highs and lows that the band has experienced over the past six decades.
