Mick Fleetwood had a custom-made tour uniform ‘You Wouldn’t Want to Be Within 50 Feet for the heavy smell’
Stevie Nicks draws praise for her custom-made tour uniforms, but she’s not the only member of Fleetwood Mac who had a set uniform. (Cheatsheet) This meant he had to be creative with his stage looks.
Drummer and co-founder Mick Fleetwood not only required custom clothing due to his height, but he also found a unique tour look that he has stuck with for years. While he appreciates the way it pushed the envelope for men’s fashion, Nicks said the costume accumulated a powerful stench.
“What can a broke, 18-year-old, 6ft 6in beanpole find to wear in a ready-made shop?” He wrote for Express. “ Absolutely nothing.”
“I really wanted a costume that stood out when I played gigs. It had to be original, not too hot to play in, and cheap,” he wrote. “I still had my school gym kit and fencing gear. I wore the knickerbockers, tore the sleeves off the jacket to make a waistcoat, put my gym shoes on. That was the start of my stage costume, captured on the iconic Rumours cover, and I’ve worn some version of that ever since.”
Stevie Nicks said he smelled terrible while on tour
Nicks said that Fleetwood’s stage costumes made him look like he was “going to the Renaissance Faire.” While the looks fit with her ethereal stage style, she said that his clothing did not always smell good.
“Mick’s got his velvet knickers and the same tights and the same shoes he’s worn for a hundred years,” she told Creem in 1982, per The Nicks Fix. “You wouldn’t want to be within 50 feet of him in that outfit, especially the next night when he’s put it back on after it’s been in the bus all day and never dried!”
Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood had an affair
Nicks also had an affair with Fleetwood. At the time, he had a wife and children, and she was in a relationship.
“Eventually I fell in love with her and it was chaotic, it was on the road and it was a crazy love affair that went on longer than any of us really remember — probably several years by the end of it,” Fleetwood wrote in his book Play On.
