Mick has been waffling about his age for 2 decades now... he's 61 going on 66 this year!

I'm totally serious... he started lying about his age about the time he wrote his book... that's been about 20 years now. I believe him to actually be 66 (maybe going on 67?), but he's especially telling all the press this year that he's turning 61. Hey, if it makes him feel better, more power to him. He's still chugging along on his drum kit and working to keep the band togethe, that's all that matters to me!

Hahahahaha, it's only our Mick Fleetwood who's doing that kind of stuff, hahahaha

Well, I read on wiki that he was born 1947 but maybe that's wrong....hahahaha, love his humour!!!

I used to think this, but he's the youngest of 3 and when his older sister died, when I read her obituaries it was clear that Mick had to be born after she was, which was 1944. So, then I started to believe him more about
1947. And it wasn't just her obit, but interviews she gave during her life, talking about their upbringing that helped confirm his age. One of the pieces about her from 1990 is here: http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...1&postcount=12.

But even Lindsey has joked with Mick onstage about the discrepancy. Lindsey told him during the SYW tour that there were some reports that had him 5 years older.
