Just to clear up some facts about the Mac members getting clean.

Mick Fleetwood - Claims to have stopped drugs in 1990, although other sources say 1995

John McVie -
*Heavy drinking on The Dance tour
*Still smokes cigarettes to this day
*Claims to have "gotten clean" in 1988 after a seizure

Stevie Nicks -

*Cocaine addition from 1976-1986
*Klonopin addition from 1986-1993

First claim: 1994
Second claim: 1997
Third claim: 2000

*Admits to still smoking marijuana for "Inspiration" (2015)

Christine McVie -

I support this thread. People always ask who did what until when; makes sense to be able to have a thread to refer people to. There have been threads dedicated to Stevie's partners as well, since that's always brought up too.

I would say for Lindsey/Stevie in the Destiny Rules video, that most likely is pot, not cigarette smoking. Also, I believe in Mick's new book, he talks about doing drugs until the mid 90s. I think he stopped alcohol around 1990 (for awhile), but I could be flipping those. I'm too lazy to pull the book out, seeing as it's helping to prop up my fan right now.

I have no idea why people want to know this, but you could tell just looking at all the comments Richard Dashut got regarding drugs that people are fascinated by the topic. I don't mean they just want to know if someone did drugs because I find it interesting to know stuff like Edgar Allan Poe took opium myself. I just don't know why people want to know how much, when did it start, when did it stop, how was it imbibed and on and on. It's strange to me.

People really have romantic, giddy feelings about drugs, even today.

I have mixed feeling of this topic.Some of the info is news to me.Its none of my business what they do in their life.They beat it and beat the bad habits again and we are lucky to see them play music that we love even its the same setlist for all of these years. I can picture them looking at my habits . can see Mick or Stevie yelling at me and saying "Put that f-----ing bag down" "How many more bags of potato chips and 2 liter bottles of soda you are going to finish while reading The Ledge or watching a good movie.

Hahaha I'll say "Whats it to you". LOL And I'll say here some chips for you and finish whats left .

Junk food is just as bad It can kill too.

^(edit)

I'm more interested in their weight.

1975
Stevie?
Lindsey?
Mick?
John?
Christine?

2015
Stevie?
Lindsey?
Mick?
John?
Christine?

Now that would be interesting!

If I were to guess I'd say if you combined the
total weight gain of the entire group by the
year 2015, you'd think they'd added a sixth member
to the Mac.

The difference from 75' to '15:
Stevie....... + 55 lbs
Lindsey.... + 30 lbs
Mick........ + 45 lbs
Christine.. + 15 lbs
________________

Total....... 145 lbs

And that's without John. That's like getting a free
Sheryl Crow or more for your money.

I agree that the amount of time spent on this subject is taxing... especially when it comes to Stevie.

However, the topic that truly baffles & honestly creeps me out is the focus on the band member's children. Folks in the Mac community have stalked Stevie's niece & Lindsey's children for years. John and Mick's seemingly to a lesser degree. To me, it's the most disturbing corner of fandom. Romantic relationships the band members involve themselves in are fair game. After all, they are consenting adults who fully grasp the situation they choose to be in. However, these people's children should be out of bounds. Especially when they are still minors.
