With Fleetwood Mac presumably finished, Mick Fleetwood is trying to move forward.
He tells Mojo magazine, “I was sitting around twiddling my fingers for a long time. I finally plugged into the fact that I’m a drummer; I need to go play.”
With that he says he's working on his first album since 2004, adding that he's "actually starting to sing – so God help you!”
Mick has also been trying to pick up the pieces from a recent failed relationship; the death in 2022 of Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie -- who would have turned 81 this Friday; and the wildfires last year that destroyed part of Maui, where he lives.
“It was a hardcore hit for everyone on this lovely little island. There was a lot of terrible loss, lots of people without homes, people who were badly affected.”
And he was one of them, having lost his restaurant, Fleetwood’s on Front Street, and his retail shop, Mick’s House of Fleetwood. But he's thinking of rebuilding, saying, "It was a place where people around here would gather and commune.” Also in the interview, Mick says he would love to see a "healing" between Stevie and Lindsey.
Mick is currently in London with plans to see Stevie Nicks perform today at Hyde Park.
Mick posted a tribute to Christine McVie on what would have been her 81st birthday today.
