Fleetwood Mac's Success

The band, which included Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks, managed to become one of the most well-known rock groups of the 1970s and 1980s despite its turbulent past.

Rumours, one of the best-selling albums of all time and possibly their most well-known album, was published in 1977 and featured singles like You Make Loving Fun and Second Hand News.

The album also featured a number of multi-platinum songs and sold more than 40 million copies globally. One of the band's most well-known songs, Songbird, was written by keyboardist and singer McVie. He also wrote the songs You Make Loving Fun, Oh Daddy, and Little Lies.

Christie McVie's Personal Life

Despite having written some of Fleetwood Mac's most cherished love songs, Christine McVie said that she had very, very bad luck in love.

The British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967, sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the most popular bands ever. Christine was responsible for the band's huge singles, including Songbird, Don't Stop, and Little Lies.
