History

Historical Context

In 1977 Fleetwood Mac released Rumours, selling more than 40 million copies worldwide and cementing drummer Mick Fleetwood’s global reputation. The album’s cross-generational appeal set a precedent for veteran musicians joining newer acts, a pattern echoed today as Australian singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse recruits Fleetwood for her single “Morals,” produced alongside Aaron Dessner, Amy Allen and Dan Wilson.
