Mick Fleetwood Announces Concert to Honor Peter Green and Early Fleetwood Mac

[elle]

this event seems to have sold out really fast!

strangely, none of Fleetwood Mac official social media mentions this event honoring Peter Green and early Fleetwood Mac.

in contrast, Fleetwood Mac official facebook page advertised:

1. Stevie Nicks solo Rolling Stone interview in March 2018.
2. Mike Campbell's dog charity.
3. Nicks RnRHoF induction.
4. Neil Finn and son's release of their new album.
5. in 2017, Mick's book release and his band's tour of Australia. same with Nicks' solo tour of Australia.
6. Buckingham McVie album and tour.

yet they do not mention a huge tribute concert to early Fleetwood Mac years and FM founder Peter Green, put together by Fleetwood Mac band members.

Another cash grab. If Peter were there it would be a real tribute (while he's still alive) especially if he would play. This is all about the cash for Mick. He's reeling people in by saying that parts of the proceeds will go to charity. Translation: he's keeping most of the $$.
John not participating is weird but like most said, he has survived cancer and he probably needs a break.
I hope they have the decency to honor Danny Kirwan as well. He wrote some great songs for FM.

I think John not participating is a sign John is over the band. He may have been contractually obligated for this world tour but not going to do one show to honor Peter Green? Hard to believe. Maybe its a sign how over the band he has become. John and Mick stuck together for the toughest times. I remember them playing clubs in 1994 as Fleetwood Mac.

Maybe he's just ready to retire. I think they all deserve a chance to relax and live out their remaining years.

With all the band bashing that I have read over the many, many years, the one topic we can all agree on is how money grubbing Mick is. One has to wonder what people in his personal life say about him to each other.

Mick is nothing but bottom feeding scum. I doubt he's surrounded by an army of yes people like $tevie is. I only hope he knows what many think of him.

Peter was my greatest mentor and it gives me such joy to pay tribute to his incredible talent. I am honoured to be sharing the stage with some of the many artists Peter has inspired over the years and who share my great respect for this remarkable musician.”

I don't think I will ever buy a Fleetwood Mac a (any media) music again.

But I'm curious to see what Christine or Gilmour will perform in that show.

If it was just about the dollars Mick could have chosen a much bigger venue than a central London theatre , don't you think ?
