Don't Stop: 55 Years of Fleetwood MAC
The greatest ever rock ‘n’ roll soap opera. Now fully updated to include features on Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac and all the musicans and members that have made the band one of the best selling of all time.
Fleetwood Mac – one of the greatest names in rock of all time – began as a little blues band in London, England, in 1967, named by its unassuming band leader and lead guitarist Peter Green in appreciation of his tight rhythm Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass. Just 10 years later, by 1977, with the help of John’s wife, Christine McVie, and two virtually unknown American musicians called Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, they had become the world’s biggest band who released the world’s best-selling Rumours .
Their enthusiasm, determination and dedication is nothing short of remarkable. When you also consider the highs and lows, the successes and failures, the personal turmoil, tragedy and heartbreak through which this band has journeyed over the last 55 years … the Fleetwood Mac story is transformed into pure drama.
In this independent publication, music writer and journalist Pete Chrisp reveals the true story of how, over the last 55 years, despite all of those confrontations, pinnacles and all-time lows … Fleetwood Mac continue to dig in their heels and refuse to stop. Won’t stop. Don’t Stop.

Superbly researched and eloquently written, this is an excellent introduction to anyone not too familiar with Fleetwood Mac! Devoted fans will still learn so much and relive all of the memories of the band's unique history. Peter Chrisp reaches extra levels in his writing and approach. A great comprehensive history!

A really well researched and detailed look at the history of Fleetwood Mac, from its creation in 1967 through 2022. Includes a comprehensive discography at the end of the book as well as detailed bios of all the members of the Mac. Informative for non-fans, fantastic insights for fans.
