How Do Fleetwood Mac/Other Bands Split Profits for Record Sales and Such
Hey All:
Something that I am sure has been talked about in the past. When it comes to bands recording and selling music, how does Fleetwood Mac split up the profits? Since Stevie, Lindsey and Chris all wrote, the presumable earned more than Mick and John for playing, right? How would the split it up for each song? Or would they simply have a percentage split for the whole album? Just curious!!! Ethan

They give everything to Mick and he throws it from the bridge.

Sometimes songwriters will choose to split those royalties they get as a songwriter with the other band members.... however, I'm relatively sure in FM's case this doesn't happen, as evidenced by comments made in the past re: Mick and John not writing.

Mick has sometimes (always?) gotten some money from handling business stuff for the band. It's possible there is also a thing where he and John own the group name and control it's use having never left it. I know there's a situation like that with Chris Squire the one member of Yes who never left it, and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds had the rights to tell an ex-member they could not advertise their group as The Byrds. So it's possible the use of the words Fleetwood Mac could mean a payment to Mick and John.

Well, I read somewhere here, that since Stevie and Lindsey were back, and Christine gone, that touring revenue is now split -
40% - Stevie 30% - Lindsey 15% - Mick 15% - John
