They won two Grammys for Rumours? I thought it was just Album of the Year?

ETA: apologies, ignore me, reread the press release & see I was incorrect. There have been threads on this in the past and I recalled the possibility being hall of fame or a production award. Last edited by jenniferuk; 07-19-2017 at 08:19 PM.. Reason: Error |

^and by production I mean that someone, here I think, once suggested that FM members each received two Grammy's, one as artist and one as producer as the award goes to both. I can't confirm that but thought I'd pass it along. The Grammy site lists two wins but I don't see where it has specifics on the second.

This is interesting. The award is given not only for musical recognition, but for charitable works (ie, MusicCARES), which is why it's not been given to a band before. Bands typically don't do charitable works as a unit.
I wonder what philanthropic works FM have done as a band to warrant this award? Or are they just adding up the individuals' acts together? |

Not sure. There was a thread a few months ago where we were discussing the band's scant philanthropic efforts. But what do we know?

I've seen these concerts on AXS TV. One more thing to look forward to in 2018.

They did the fundraiser for the Blue Diamond gala in 2016, at Dodger Stadium for Vin Scilly. Maybe that was a big reason.

i think that at Springsteen's ceremony he several times referred to something extra charitable that he did specifically when (after?) he got a call (offer?) to be a Mucicares person of the year.

So Far, No Rock Acts Confirmed For Fleetwood Mac’s MusiCares Person of the Year Gala
The initial performers have been announced for the 2018 MusiCares Person of the Year gala paying tribute to Fleetwood Mac -- and, interestingly, none are from the rock world. Instead the Mac will be feted by pop stars John Legend, Lorde, Harry Styles, Haim and OneRepublic, as well as country crossover hero and former American Idol judge Keith Urban. More performers are expected to be announced for the show on January 26 at New York's Radio City Music Hall, with proceeds going to the MusiCares fund, which helps musicians and music industry staffers in need of assistance. Fleetwood Mac is expected to tour and possibly release new music next year as well; Details are still vague, but the group's Lindsey Buckingham tells us that "I think the earliest anyone expected to be back on the road with Fleetwood Mac might've been Spring of 2018. And now that's not actually being pushed back by Stevie (Nicks). My understanding is that she's all ready...and now, you know, because I've got this solo album, I'm the one who's holding it up. But, you know, that's typical for us. There's a lot of moving parts, so you know you gotta wait for everyone to be ready." Listen Here: http://wror.com/2017/10/23/far-no-ro...son-year-gala/ |
