Going his own way! Legendary musician Mick Fleetwood opts for serious flower power as he lands in Los Angeles


By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 11:02 EST, 2 May 2014


He is one of the most successful singer/songwriters in the world, noted for his contribution to Fleetwood Mac's commercial success which first exploded in the 1970s.

But Mick Fleetwood was still channeling something of a flower-power vibe when he landed in Los Angeles airport on Friday.

The 66 year-old was clearly going his own way as he arrived in California, where he stood out from the crowd in a clash of colours.

The acclaimed musician - whose hits include Tusk, You Make Loving Fun and Go Your Own Way - looked like he was back on the east coast to write or record new music as he carried his guitar.

Wearing a bright yellow jacket with pale blue trousers, he accessorised with a pink and white floral scarf and a pair of tan boat shoes.

He also wore his hair in a ponytail, although much of it was covered by his purple-rimmed hat.

Clearly dressed to impress, he attracted many onlookers with his quirky attire as he walked through the airport's arrivals terminal.

But the attention will be welcome now that the British-born star is about to embark on a Fleetwood Mac reunion tour from September, which will see all five original back together on stage.

This will see them perform until 20 December, performing all of their favourite hits.

The Chain group - featuring John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks - have recently welcomed back Christine McVie.

After 15 years of living in the tranquil English countryside, the 70 year-old has made the decision to return to the band for a planned tour.

The British-American band were formed in 1967 in London. Their smash-hit album Rumours sold 40million and topped the U.S. chart for seven months, but their stardom was blighted by cocaine-fuelled excess.

Why was Mick carrying a guitar?

It looks like a small one, don't you think? Like a ukulele.

There are tweets from someone who said Mick was on his flight from LA to Hawaii. With his uke as we suspected-not a guitar.

@chrisdriggers

It would not surprise me if the Mail had incorrect details...often do so.

Yeah. I love the Mail for its photographs, but I never had any reason to think they were any good with facts. I don't know why they guessed east coast.

Hawaii would make more sense...Maybe the entertainment at the restaurant called in sick and Mick had to cover for them..."For your enjoyment the soothing ukulele sounds of Mick Fleetwood"...

I forgot about the restaurant! I was thinking he may go back regularly to see his mum and his girls (his twins and g/f if he has one / has the one who was with him last tour).

But why does he have it California? He is probably going to play ukulele on the album and if that doesn't make people run to get their wallets, I don't know what will.

Haha! I thought I read somewhere that he travels with it / keeps it close to hand. No idea where I got that but when I saw the photo it was somehow familiar.

Maybe it helps him woo the ladies...

ETA: here is one old article courtesy of Elle in which Mick mentions his ukuleles...20 of them!

The critical comments on the inaccuracies in the article are pretty funny.
