Apple Original Films Fleetwood Mac Documentary Will Premiere Jan 29 2027

Apple Original Films unveils title and release date for first-ever fully authorized Fleetwood Mac documentary, “Fleetwood Mac: The Chain”

Five-time Academy Award nominee and Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award winner Frank Marshall directs the film, which is set to premiere on Friday, January 29, 2027

For the first time ever, Fleetwood Mac is telling their story in their own words in Apple Original Films’ fully authorized documentary “Fleetwood Mac: The Chain,” which will make its global debut on Apple TV on Friday, January 29, 2027. Directed by five-time Academy Award nominee and Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award winner Frank Marshall and produced by the award-winning The Kennedy/Marshall Company and White Horse Pictures, the documentary offers fans a definitive and unprecedented look at Fleetwood Mac’s story, bringing together the voices, memories and perspectives of Grammy Award-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

The film’s title reflects the profound significance of Fleetwood Mac’s hit “The Chain,” which embodies a family forged by a shared passion and, notably, is the only song on their album “Rumours” credited to all five members. The song perfectly captures the complicated yet enduring bond at the heart of Fleetwood Mac, and its iconic lyrics became a powerful motif for the respect and connection that persisted through the tumultuous odyssey of the band’s rise to superstardom. The film’s premiere coincides with the 50th anniversary of the release of the Grammy Award-winning album “Rumours.”

Following their fortuitous meeting in 1974, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks reflect on their uncompromising 50-plus-year history, from their record-breaking recordings and tours — including never-before-seen footage and exclusive new interviews — through to today. The film explores how the band’s trials and tribulations, personal resilience and musical dexterity combined to create songs that have stood the test of time and are enduring masterpieces. It takes fans through the highs and lows of their brilliant career, illuminating the exceptional ingredients each member brought to the band’s uncommon alchemy — a musical union that sold more than 220 million records worldwide. The documentary explores what allowed this combination of artists to create singular musical work again and again, and what drew them back together and held them there when every possible pressure, both outside and inside the band, threatened to blow them apart.

Director Marshall produces through The Kennedy/Marshall Company with White Horse Pictures’ Nigel Sinclair (“The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years,” “No Direction Home: Bob Dylan”), Nicholas Ferrall (“Stax: Soulsville U.S.A.,” “Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery”) and Jeanne Elfant Festa (“The Apollo,” “Lucy and Desi”), as well as Kennedy/Marshall’s Aly Parker (“The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” “The Space Race”). White Horse’s Cassidy Hartmann executive produces with Kennedy/Marshall’s Tony Rosenthal. Diamond Docs’ Mark Monroe serves as writer and executive producer.

“Fleetwood Mac: The Chain“ joins Apple Original Films’ award-winning slate of documentaries, which include Academy Award-nominated “Come See Me in the Good Light,” Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim’s “STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” which swept the Critics Choice Documentary Awards with five wins and earned four Emmy Awards; Emmy Award-nominated “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me,” a uniquely raw and intimate documentary spanning her six-year journey into a new light; and the Emmy Award-nominated “STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces,” featuring legendary writer, producer, director, actor and comedian Steve Martin, among many others.

Stevie Nicks just knows how to cast a particular spell

 

Stevie Nicks Brings Fairy Energy in a Flower Crown at the New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala

She looked straight out of a storybook

BY JOEL CALFEE

HARPERS BAZAAR

Stevie Nicks may be known for her wonderfully witchy energy on stage, but she decided to go full fairy mode for the New York City Ballet’s fall fashion gala at the David H. Koch Theater in Lincoln Center on Thursday evening.

The former Fleetwood Mac member made a rare public appearance for the gala, where she looked like a character straight out of a children’s storybook. Her look centered around a romantic pink dress with a tiered skirt and layers of tulle decorated with swirling embroidery and rows of ruffles. Up top, the bubblegum base was covered with a more opaque mauve top layer, which featured bustier-style panels and shimmering gold stitching, the kind you might find on a Grimms’ Fairy Tales book spine.

Nicks paired the design with a set of sandy platform heels in suede, and a chain pendant necklace with a large opal gemstone hanging from it. Each of her arms was stacked with beaded friendship bracelets (a touch fellow singer-songwriter Taylor Swift would certainly approve of), and she sported dangly gold earrings that swirled down to her nape.

However, the most playful touch was the large flower crown resting on Nicks’s head, which appeared to be made of fresh flowers in pink, white, and green.

On the red carpet, other stars brought a bit femininity and fantasy too, whether it was Sarah Jessica Parker in her sheer Simone Rocha bubble dress with pink silk ribbons running down it like laces, or Julia Fox in her velvet black tux with large ruffles and a frilly white blouse layered underneath.

Anywhere she goes, Nicks just knows how to cast a particular spell.

Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" will be featured in Practical Magic 2 Film

On Wednesday, September 2, Rolling Stone confirmed that Stevie Nicks’ classic track “Landslide” will be featured in the upcoming film. This announcement comes just two days after Nicks joined Olivia Rodrigo on stage to perform the iconic 1975 Fleetwood Mac ballad together at Rodrigo’s inaugural charity festival in Irvine, California.

No word yet on whether it'll be on the soundtrack or if this is the original audio, a new vocal or if there are more contributions to the soundtrack.

You'll recall that, with the first film, Stevie had two tracks featured on the soundtrack, a new recording of "Crystal" plus "If You Ever Did Believe".

STEVIE NICKS - DAISY CHAIN FIELDS

August 29th Irvine, CA -- Stevie was the last performer of the night with Olivia Rodrigo… Rodrigo brought out Stevie, along with Waddy Wachtel, for one of the night’s most memorable moments. The two generations of singer-songwriters joined together for a moving rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide,” trading verses and dancing alongside one another onstage.

After the performance, Nicks offered heartfelt praise for Rodrigo and what she had accomplished in bringing Daisy Chain Fields to life.

"She reminds me a lot of me when I was her age, 100 years ago," Nicks concluded. "And I'm somewhat awestruck that she could do all this because it's so hard, you have no idea, putting something together with all these people, everything. And she's done it with this grace and this crazy, crazy energy that she has. And I told her, 'Don't ever give that up and don't let anybody change you…'

"So support her, come and be a part of her women's rights thing. We all will. And she's very special. Take her to your heart. I have."

Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits Deluxe Edition Reaches New Billboard Peak

FLEETWOOD MAC’S ‘GREATEST HITS’ REACHES EVEN GREATER HEIGHTS, HITTING NEW PEAK ON ALBUM CHARTS

After its expanded reissue, the best-of bounds to new highs on multiple charts.

By Keith Caulfield
Billboard.com

Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits, first released in 1988, reaches the top 10 on Billboard’s 35-year-old Top Album Sales chart for the first time coming in at No. 10, following its expanded reissue.

The set re-enters the Aug. 15-dated chart at No. 10, besting its previous high of No. 13 (set in 2016), after the album was bolstered with seven additional hits and issued digitally and on multiple physical formats.

Greatest Hits also soars 69-13 on the overall Billboard 200, surpassing its peak of No. 14, set in 1989. The collection also sees a new peak of No. 5 on the Vinyl Albums chart (a re-entry, besting its peak of No. 7, first reached in 2019), vaults 18-4 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums, rises 14-3 on Top Rock Albums (matching its peak, reached in March) and re-enters the Indie Store Album Sales chart at No. 6.

The standard version of Greatest Hits remains a 16-song edition, and the new deluxe edition adds seven further hits. The deluxe set was released via digital download services and streamers on June 10, and physical formats followed on July 31. The deluxe package bowed across six double-vinyl variants and a two-CD offering.

In the tracking week ending Aug. 6, Greatest Hits sold nearly 6,000 copies in the United States, according to Luminate — a gain of 286% as compared to its sales in the previous week.

The albums also reached No. 11 on the Canadian Top 100 Albums chart.
