News about John McVie

The secret son of a rock star is living on the streets in London two years after the late musician's £4.5million will left him nothing and he 'spent all his money'. Liam Firlej was forced to go to court in a bid to prove the guitarist was his father after he had a year's long-romance with the 38-year-old's mother, Janina. But despite his paternity being confirmed by a DNA test, Liam didn't receive a penny from his father's will when he died in 2020. Liam, an army veteran who quit the forces in 2003 due his opposition to the Iraq War, has been homeless several times in his life, but says this has been the most traumatic. Liam claims he was forced back onto the streets three months ago as he tries to pay care bills for his maternal grandmother, who she raised him in his father's absence.

Stevie Nicks reported on Monday that Christine McVie's death on November 30th was the last nail in her beloved rock band Fleetwood Mac's coffin for the final five decades. During their MusiCares tribute at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan in 2018, the original line-up, which included John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Mick Fleetwood, performed for the final time together.

When it comes to songwriters writing traumatic songs about the exes who broke their hearts, their former lovers' punishment is usually limited to hearing the breakup track played incessantly on the radio (as seen in Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift's "All to Well." However, Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne, the fictional lead singers of the fictional title band, have an enthralling, forbidden chemistry that's only enhanced by the fact that they write their most brutal lyrics about each other and force the other to perform them on tour in front of thousands of followers. Reid denied that she had no knowledge that her book about a 1970s rock band's ascension and fall was partially based on Fleetwood Mac. The legendary band was not limited by its catalogue of timeless hits, but also by its history of interpersonal tensions, a continually evolving lineup of members, and band internals — none more notable than the one between its lead singers, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham.

Taylor Jenkins Reid's book "Daisy Jones and the Six" on Amazon Prime Video is certainly one of the year's best new TV shows. It mixes a fictional plot with details meant to evoke the 1970s rock band's true music scene. Just how much is the story inspired by real music history?A lot, as it turns out! The novel (and the TV show) is a new story, both in terms of content and technology. It doesn't use real names or real-life events, but instead presents a "documentary" story about the fictional band of the name, their families, and the creation of their most popular album. However, music enthusiasts will certainly recognize certain plots in the story of a 1970s rock band tense by interpersonal drama and musical conflicts.

In 2020, Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) in London were trialled as an anti-Covid-19 measure. Many of them are still in place today. DARREN BOYLE and ALEX MASON went on to investigate by riding a motorcycle and a bicycle to cross 1.3 miles of south London to see if the internal combustion engine was still reigning.

Nothing says Rock and Roll like sex, drugs and decade long feuds and backstabbing's over music royalties and Twitter account access does it? Audiences have been treated to a smorgasbord of musical excellence from companies like Oasis and Fleetwood Mac over the years, but it has not always been the story behind the scenes drama that has captured our interest. We're naturally attracted to the chaos that surrounds some of music's most gifted performers, whether it's meltdowns online, pithy open letters to former bandmates, or just good old fashioned heavy rocking violence. With that in mind, MailOnline has taken a deep dive into five popular feuds from Rock and Roll history.

Dominic Middlefield: No one did rock 'n' roll excesses to the 1970s supergroup Fleetwood Mac. They traveled by private plane and, on their arrival, 14 black limousines would be waiting for them at the airport. Above, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, and Mick Fleetwood are among those photographed, while Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood are pictured inset with Stevie Nicks. The couple and their entourage would be carried to the swankiest hotel in town, where each band member would recover to a suite repainted in the colour of their choice. If so, a pick-me-up would be available in the form of, say, an eighth of an ounce of cocaine. In fact, Class A drug supply was so formalized that the daily hand-out of coke was included on the band's tour itinerary, and the dealer was credited on album covers.
