Mick the Survivor!!! (swine flu)

Don't know if anyone reported this or not... haven't been through all the threads, but - TMZ has a video clip of Mick on their website saying he got over swine flu about 10 days ago. So glad to know he's doing better!

Interesting. I know he said he had the flu, but I didn't know it was that strain. I know he said they are usually a huggy group, but that everyone was avoiding him Friday and it made him feel quite desolate.

Well, it's good they all have a little break before the final countdown.

When did he have this? My sister had it and couldn't get out of her bed for at least a week.

Maybe it was just a bad case of the flu, everyone knows how reporters like make things seem bigger than they actually are

I suspect Mick was being just a bit dramatic for the sake of being dramatic. The common cold by any other name. I suspect one or more of the concerts would have been canceled if he really came down with H1N1.

Well Mick was certainly on top form on 27/ Oct in Manchester.
I didn't have the pleasure of seeing the last UK show at Wembley on 6th November.

Typical, they come to England and he gets swine flu.

FLEETWOOD MAC DRUMMER MICK FLEETWOOD AT LAX BY TMZ... HE JUST GO OVER SWINE FLU

Sick Mick -- Fleetwood Drummer Had Swine Flu

And now the biggest story about Fleetwood Mac since they reunited in 1997: Mick Fleetwood just had the dreaded pig virus, A.K.A. swine flu.

We got the infection-free legend yesterday at LAX -- who said he was down with the sickness just 10 days ago.

Though symptoms include fever, diarrhea and vomiting, Mick says it "wasn't too bad."

Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood just recently got over the dreaded H1N1 virus, aka swine flu, and that’s no rumor.

In a video on TMZ, the drummer talks about some of the precautions he took while having the virus, which included staying away from his 94-year-old mother, and even jokingly interfered with the interviewer's proximity as if he were trying to infect him.

All joking aside, the world still wonders if Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks will ever tour again.

You can check out the video of the no-longer-sick drummer on TMZ.com.

Mick was interviewed by phone on Melbourne radio this morning about the FM tour starting here next week, but mainly about his blues band coming here in February.

He mentioned that he's experienced significant after-effects from the swine flu and that he's been in bed for most of the time since the UK leg finished being "dosed-up". They fly here to Melbourne on Friday with the first show on Tuesday, so only five days time now.

Mick's performance takes quite a bit of energy, so I hope he's feeling ok by the time he gets here.

Poor Mick. Hopefully he'll be able to mostly relax these next five days.

That's pretty serious. They say it seems like the regular flu, but it embeds itself into your lung differently and that's what makes it dangerous. Mick was joking around in the airport clip and I assumed he was ok. You guys take the band Tamiflu, in lieu of flowers for Stevie.

There is no way he could have done any shows if he had swine flu. My sister had it and couldn't get out of bed for a week...and then she was week and tired for a week or so after that. And he def wouldn't have been allowed to get on a plane with it. Sounds like a case of man flu to me
