Rumours is the eleventh studio album by Fleetwood Mac, released on February 4th 1977. The second album by the well-known five piece line-up, it was birthed in the tense atmosphere of John and Christine McVie's divorce and the break-up of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks' relationship. Drummer/band leader Mick Fleetwood was also in the throes of a marital breakup at the time.
Despite all this, the pressure was on to create a follow-up to the commercially successful album Fleetwood Mac (1975). When Rumours was finally released, it became a worldwide success selling over forty million copies worldwide.
