Rock and roll history has seen many couples in bands - but few have happy endings...
1. Fleetwood Mac
Easily the messiest of all intra-band relationships. Formed in 1967, the band was Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks. Christine McVie was married to John McVie from 1968–1976 and they very publicly divorced during the band's infamous Rumours tour. Buckingham and Nicks were in a relationship for six years, but the pressures of the band interfered. Nicks then went on to have an affair with Mick Fleetwood, who was married at the time.
There might be a joke somewhere here about Nicks' infamous cocaine habit and the song Wake Up, Lachy, but we wouldn't do that. The Mac might be one of the few couple-heavy bands who still tour today.
