Mick Fleetwood Says Fleetwood Mac Reunion Not About Money

(Classic Rock) Mick Fleetwood says Fleetwood Mac couldn't perform together if they weren't friends. On the day that the band added two more London dates to their 2015 tour, the drummer laughs off suggestions that relationships remain strained within the group and says they could never pretend to get along for the sake of a pay check.

Fleetwood Mac recently welcomed Christine McVie back to the fold after 16 years. Fleetwood tells the Guardian: "That whole 'extreme fear and loathing' thing is a load of bollocks. It's boring when I have to explain why we still want to be doing this. Some bands admit they don't like each other, but they can sign a piece of paper and walk on stage. Nothing wrong with that, but we can't do it. We have to have some emotional credibility to what we're doing.

"Elton John and Eric Clapton work more than us, and they certainly don't need the money. Have you ever thought that we actually like doing what we do?" He also shared a colorful story about a visit to the White House, read about that here.
