Fleetwood made his acting debut in The Running Man (1987) as Mic, the leader of an underground resistance movement. He speaks the memorable line, "Mr. Spock, you have the conn." To which a confused tech responds: "Who's Mr. Spock?"

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange
Just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day
To believe in you
Tell me, tell me , tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

George Harrison (1943-2001) was Fleetwood's brother-in-law for four years between the Fleetwood's marriage to Jenny Boyd in 1970 and Harrison's divorce from Boyd's sister Patti in 1974.

During the band's European tour, guitarist Peter Green experienced a bad acid trip at a hippie commune in Munich. Clifford Davis, the band's manager, singled out this incident as the crucial point in Green's mental decline. He said: "The truth about Peter Green and how he ended up how he did is very simple. We were touring Europe in late 1969. When we were in Germany, Peter told me he had been invited to a party. I knew there were going to be a lot of drugs around and I suggested that he didn't go. But he went anyway and took what turned out to be very bad, impure LSD. He was never the same again."

The band was doing so much cocaine during production of the album that they wanted to thank their dealer in the liner notes. In 1990, Mick Fleetwood admitted that the only reason they didn't was that the dealer was killed before the record was finished.

In 2014, Stevie Nicks admitted in a Billboard interview that she was once pregnant with Don Henley's baby. Henley had previously suggested that the Fleetwood Mac song "Sara" (which Nicks wrote) was about their unborn child.

The drums, a fire, a calling
My soul marches out the door
We fall to earth together
The crowd calling out for more
Hello, hello, sad angel
Have you come to fight the war
