Peter Green

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 Greens 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 Greens career, from his semi-pro years playing bass to his rise to fame in John Mayalls Bluesbreakers and Fleetwood Mac. It also takes a closer look at Greens 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.
