On the way he met members of the Children of God cult and, according to legend, was never seen again.
Until last night, that is, when he turned up, in rude health, on a BBC 4 documentary about that other Fleetwood Mac casualty, Peter Green. (Actually, I say ‘that other’ casualty, but Fleetwood Mac’s body count is only slightly lower than the Somme’s.)
I was genuinely surprised to see him, having been under the impression that he was still AWOL. But, no, there he was with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, and a happy trio they appeared to be. Where had he been all these years? Dunno. The programme never told us.
Then again, there probably wasn’t the time. You may be able to cram an overview of Ronald Reagan’s extraordinary life into 90 minutes, but you’d need a couple of weeks to cover the legend of Fleetwood Mac.

Very interesting that he spotted this. I have read books about FM and watched numerous videos over the years, and I have been amazed at those speaking for me (or
against me
), the words put into my mouth and stories told, without a single request for an interview or comment from me from the authors or producers. That is partly why I agreed to this interview for 'Man of the World', as I am sick of having to refute such exaggerrations and worse to no avail. Although the programme was about PG (naturally) the interviewers did ask me a few questions about what happened with me and the following years, but none of it was used. On top of that, my observations on the deeper spiritual significance of Peter's demise was conveniently cut. Maybe it was getting too 'religious' for British TV.
