Mark Cummings as John McVie

Mark Cummings as John McVie lays down the famous bass lines we all know so well to contribute to the ultimate tribute to Fleetwood Mac.

History of John McVie

John McVie joined Fleetwood Mac shortly after the band was formed with Peter Green in 1967, replacing temporary bassist Bob Brunning.  He was hesitant to join Fleetwood Mac initially because he did not want to lose the security of the successful band John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. A few weeks later John changed his mind because the Bluesbreakers were shifting too much towards jazz.

His last name combined with that of Mick Fleetwood was the inspiration for the band’s name. He and Mick are the only members to be on every Fleetwood Mac album. He married keyboardist and singer Christine in 1968 and she became a member two years later. They divorced in 1977, around the recording of the “Rumours” album which was titled by McVie based on the difficulties the band members were having in their relationships.
