Rise with Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood was a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, a band originally formed in 1967—not 1991, as sometimes incorrectly cited. As the band's drummer and de facto leader, Fleetwood guided the group through various musical changes and lineups. Under his leadership, Fleetwood Mac achieved worldwide success, especially in the mid-to-late 1970s, with albums such as Rumours and Tusk. Two of these albums went multi-platinum, and Rumours remains one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, not 1988. That same year, the group received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. Mick's dynamic drumming style and stage presence played a crucial role in the band's enduring appeal.
