Mick Fleetwood , drummer for Fleetwood Mac , admits to missing the band that made him famous, even knowing the improbability of a return. The death of keyboardist Christine McVie in 2022 and the dismissal of guitarist Lindsey Buckingham in 2018 seem to have sealed the group's fate.
In an interview with Mojo , Fleetwood laments the lack of a proper farewell for fans, interrupted by the pandemic and the loss of McVie. “There was an intention to get things back on track,” he said, mentioning the 2019 tour as a possible goodbye. “But, in my world, I lost the band too.”
Struggle and new beginnings
In addition to the end of Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood faced other challenges in his homeland, such as the devastation of his restaurant, Fleetwood's, in Maui by wildfires, a disaster that left more than 100 people dead and most of the buildings destroyed.
“It was a hard blow,” he admits, but demonstrates strength and resilience. “People lost their homes, they were severely affected. But we are rebuilding. And who knows, maybe even my crazy restaurant will come back.”
However, the drummer is working on his first solo album in two decades, even exploring his vocal talents. "I was out of action for a while," he confesses. "But I'm a drummer, I need to play. And believe it or not, I'm starting to sing too!"
