Mick Fleetwood walked the red carpet of the Grammy Awards last night (February 5) and was asked about the future of Fleetwood Mac.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Fleetwood told the outlet he plans on continuing to perform. However, it won’t be under the Fleetwood Mac name. He said, “I think right now, I truly think the line in the sand has been drawn with the loss of Chris,” referring to Christine McVie. Fleetwood added, “I’d say we’re done, but then we’ve all said that before. It’s sort of unthinkable right now.”
He said in reference to his Fleetwood Mac bandmates that are still performing, “They all get out and play, so I’m gonna be doing the same thing, finding people to play with.” Fleetwood then added, with a laugh, “Anyone out there?”
Fleetwood performed at the Grammys with Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt during the award show’s In Memoriam segment. The three performed a rendition of “Songbird,” which was written and sung by McVie and featured on Fleetwood Mac’s landmark 1977 album Rumours.
McVie died on November 30, 2022 at age 79 following a short illness. Details on the illness have not been shared with the public.
