On June 24, 1947, Michael John Kells Fleetwood was born in Britain. He is a musician, composer, and infrequent actor. He is most known for being the drummer, co-founder, and leader of the rock band Fleetwood Mac. In 1998, Fleetwood Mac was given a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The last names of bassist John “Mac” McVie and guitarist Mick Fleetwood were combined to form the band’s name. Despite being from Redruth, Cornwall, Fleetwood spent a significant amount of his early years in Egypt and Norway.
The band relocated to the US in 1974 after a number of album releases and lineup adjustments. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were then asked to join by Fleetwood. Fleetwood Mac’s later commercial success, particularly the well-known album Rumours, was greatly influenced by Buckingham and Nicks, while the band’s longevity was largely down to Fleetwood’s own commitment to keeping the band together. In addition, Fleetwood has had a successful solo career, written books, and dabbled in acting.
