A new Fleetwood Mac documentary has been announced by Apple Original Films.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Frank Marshall, the project will delve into the rise of the legendary band during the '70s, and marks the first "fully authorised" and "definitive" documentary about the group.

Although no release date has yet been confirmed, the film will feature interviews with surviving members - Stevie Nicks, 76, Mick Fleetwood, 77, John McVie, 78, and former guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. It'll also include archival footage, and unseen material, including tributes to the late Christine McVie, who died in 2022.

In a post published to Fleetwood Mac's official Instagram, referencing their 1977 album 'Rumours', the band said:

"It’s not a Rumour. From director Frank Marshall, this Apple Original Films documentary will take you on the epic journey of the generation-defining Fleetwood Mac."

Marshall commented: "I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about. 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."

The official synopsis reads: "The film will explore 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 will take 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."

In September, Stevie Nicks released a new song, The Lighthouse, featuring Sheryl Crow. More recently, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer joined former NFL Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce for a cover of Ron Sexsmith’s Maybe This Christmas. She'll co-headline Detroit’s Ford Field on March 29 with Billy Joel. Tickets are on sale now.
