Fleetwood Mac Is Back
Back on the road, that is with a 34-city tour beginning in April to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the release of the band’s mega-selling album, “Rumours.” Pre-sales begin next week, general onsales the week after.

Who’s in Fleetwood Mac these days? That would be the Rumours lineup sans Christine McVie. Of course you get the band’s two namesakes, original members Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, plus Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks who joined in 1975.
“Having started Fleetwood Mac with John McVie in 1967, it has always been so gratifying that despite the various incarnations, the band has survived,” Fleetwood said. “Throughout the years, though, the one thing that has remained constant is our fans. I am looking forward to getting back behind the kit, reconnecting with the fans and sharing the stage with my fellow band members.”
To commemorate the anniversary of Rumours, Rhino will release a deluxe version in early 2013 consisting of unreleased studio tracks and live recordings.
