Our favourite story though is what Fleetwood Mac requested when they toured Australia in the 1980s.
According to promoter and writer Stuart Coupe, the band requested one item in particular which they considered to be a deal breaker: if it wasn’t supplied, they wouldn’t perform.
“For their gin and tonics, Fleetwood Mac requested a specific type of lime,” said Coupe to news.com.au last year.
“But that particular type of lime was actually not allowed in Australia. So Michael Chugg, who was the promoter, actually had to clandestinely fly in from overseas these goddamn limes for Fleetwood Mac’s gin and tonics.”
