As Fleetwood Mac finally break up, their incredible story is coming to the screen.

Fleetwood Mac have announced an authorised film being billed as the "definitive documentary" of the band.

The band will tell their story in their own words in the upcoming Apple Original Films project, which will be directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Frank Marshall.

As well as archive footage, much of it previously unseen, the as-yet-untitled film will feature new interviews with Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, as well as past interviews of Christine McVie, who died in 2022.

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

"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."

Producer Nicholas Ferrall added: "Fleetwood Mac are a musical phenomenon, their alchemy almost beyond comprehension.

"White Horse is grateful and humbled by the extraordinary opportunity to produce a documentary that dives deep into the talents of each band member individually and the magic that is Fleetwood Mac as a whole."
