Apple to produce first authorised Fleetwood Mac documentary

Apple Original Films is set to release a new Fleetwood Mac documentary, offering an intimate look at the legendary band's journey through the eyes of its members. Directed by Frank Marshall, the film marks the first authorised documentary about Fleetwood Mac, featuring personal accounts from the band members themselves. 

Archival interviews with the late Christine McVie, a key figure in the band's success, will also be included.

The as-yet-untitled documentary has no announced release date but promises to explore the band's unparalleled musical achievements and the dramatic personal stories that shaped its legacy. Known for his work on acclaimed music documentaries, Marshall previously directed "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", a deep dive into the Bee Gees' history, and a recent "Beach Boys" film for Disney+.

"I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about," Marshall said in a statement. "Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real-time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it."

Fleetwood Mac is a British-American rock band formed in London in 1967 by guitarist and singer Peter Green. Green named the band by combining the surnames of drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, who have remained with the band throughout its many lineup changes. Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling bands.

Their album "Rumours", released in 1977, reached number one in multiple countries around the world and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978.

Celebrated for hits like "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams", the band has endured decades of artistic triumphs, personal conflicts, and cultural impact.
