One of Fleetwood Mac’s most complicated chapters unfolded during the Rumours era.
In November 1977, after a concert in New Zealand, Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood began a brief secret affair. At the time, Fleetwood was still married to Jenny Boyd, which made the situation deeply uncomfortable for Nicks.
She later admitted she was shocked by what had happened, especially because she cared about Fleetwood’s wife and children. Nicks ended the relationship soon afterward, saying that if it had continued, it could have destroyed Fleetwood Mac altogether.
The affair became another layer in the already tangled personal relationships surrounding the band during one of the most turbulent and successful periods of its career.
