Lindsey Buckingham de Fleetwood Mac
The story of Fleetwood Mac is one of the oddest in history, having been founded by Peter Green in England as one of the flagship groups of British blues, reaching international fame in the mid-70s with a formation and totally distinct sound led by Californian Lindsey Buckingham. He brought his then girlfriend Stevie Nicks with him when he was signed by Mick Fleetwood into the band, leading to the classic setup of Buckingham, Nicks, Fleetwood, John and Christine McVie. But this band was always on the brink of breaking since they broke record sales with their record Rumours, which was nothing more than a diary of the break-ups of the 2 couples in the band, being Buckingham and Nicks, and the McVies. Since then the fights, disputes and enmity have been countless right up until the current situation where the other 4 ended up firing Buckingham in January 2018 and replaced him with Neil Finn of Crowded House and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, in what can be considered a backhand compliment to Buckingham’s capacity as composer and guitarist.
Exactly--THE OTHER 4 FIRED HIM!
