Blues guitar great and
Fleetwood Mac founder, Peter Green, was an enigma throughout his career. His
innovative songwriting and unmistakeable voice shot Fleetwood Mac into the
mainstream in 1969 with ‘Albatross’, ‘Man of the World’, and ‘Oh Well’. But in
May 1970, he turned his back on stardom and quit the band.



Written by Green’s associate and friend, this biography - first
published in 1995, now fully revised and updated - challenges the accepted
narrative about why he left the band, and what happened next. It tracks every
stage of Green’s career, from his semi-pro years playing bass to his rise to
fame in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac. It also takes a closer
look at Green’s solo material and the personal trauma that saw him hit the
headlines.



This edition covers his return to the stage in 1996 with Peter Green
Splinter Group and how his final band, Peter Green & Friends, was formed.
It also covers the last years of his life and includes new, unseen photographs.
