Fleetwood Mac tribute act coming to Glasgow this summer
"The Royal Concert Hall is great for us, we love it there," Allan Cosgrove, drummer for Rumours of Fleetwood Mac, said. He added: "Glasgow always supports us. It's so great performing in the city." (Image: Picture credit: Matt Ford) Lucky for Allan and the rest of the group - which consists of James Harrison (lead guitars/vocals), Sophie Worsley (keyboards/lead vocals), Jess Harwood (lead vocals), Etienne Girard (Bass Guitar), Henry Ruben Burnett (Keyboard and lead lead vocals) and Scott Poley (Guitars) - Rumours of Fleetwood Mac will be performing at the city centre venue on Monday, June 23. But it is not just the venue that has Liverpool's Allan buzzing for the Glasgow show. He explained: "Glaswegian and scousers are the same people. We're very similar and won't take any mess from anyone. We're salt of the earth and give you our last buck. 'Glasgow and Liverpool have similar spirits." (Image: Picture credit: Matt Ford) The show will cover a vast range of Fleetwood Mac's discography including their primary blues sound, Christine McVie pop tunes and Stevie Nicks' rock and roll hits, and will deliver a pretty immaculate replication of Fleetwood Mac's sound, according to Allan. He said: "It sounds a bit sterile, but it was important for me that Rumours of Fleetwood Mac played the songs note-for-note. 'We tip our hat to Fleetwood Mac's style and dress accordingly, we understand the task at hand and that the music we're playing is precious to people." He continued: 'This isn't about us coming out in wigs and stick-on ponytails and playing what we think it should sound like. The legacy is already there. We're the conjurers and we've got to have a great understanding and love of it, but it's their music. The standing ovations are for their songs. "I knew that we had to capture the sound and the imagination of a Fleetwood Mac fan, otherwise, I wouldn't do it because I love that band." READ NEXT: I Kissed A Boy stars talk Dannii Minogue, favourite Glasgow spots and representation Allan's love for the Go Your Own Way hitmakers started in the 1970s, when his older brother bought home a Fleetwood Mac record. "That album was like listening to something from another planet," Allan said. He continued: "The album started playing and I thought, 'Wow, what's this?' 'That was when I fell in love with Fleetwood Mac and became a fan. I started following their career then." (Image: Picture credit: Matt Ford) Audiences can also expect a video from Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac's original drummer and founder) at the start of the show, wishing attendees a good night. It comes after Mick struck up a great relationship with both Allan and the group, after he came to watch Rumours of Fleetwood Mac perform with his mum, Bridget Maureen Brereton Fleetwood. It all started years ago, when Bridget rocked up to the group's Salisbury show. Allan detailed: "Before we went on stage that night, our tour manager said there was a lady at the stage door who wanted to speak to me. She came to the dressing room and said, 'Hi darling, I'm Bridget Fleetwood, Michael's mum. 'She said, 'I've come to check you out.' She watched it and afterwards said, 'Darling, that was a jolly good go at Fleetwood Mac, I must bring Mick to see this.' And I said, 'No, you don't need to do that.' 'Every year she came to see us and about five years after that first time meeting her, I would call her and say we would pick her up and bring her to the theatre but one year she said that there was no need because 'He's just putting his shirt on'. I said, 'Who is putting his shirt on?' and she said 'Mick'. 'He was over for a book signing and came by the show. That night, he played drums in the show and I played maracas behind him. It was mental. It's been a hell of a road so far." READ NEXT: Irish indie rock band announce Glasgow show as part of UK tour The tribute act is now performing all over the world.

Her mum is the famous guitarist and singer's ex-wife Kristen Messner. Stella, 21, is now forging a career for herself as a TikTok star. Going under the handle @stelllabuckingham, she posts videos of herself lip-syncing and getting involved with the latest TikTok crazes. The nepo-baby also features her famous dad in her videos, and can be seen pranking him in a few. Stella has almost 20K followers and a whopping 700 likes so far. PARENTS' DIVORCE Stella's mum and dad filed for divorce in 2021, after over two decades together. The former couple tied the knot in 2000 and, along with Stella who is the youngest, they are parents to William, 26, and Leelee, 24. Stella's parents met when Kristen photographed him for one of his solo albums. Lindsey previously revealed he waited 'a long time' for Kristen after dating a lot of "crazy" girlfriends. Fleetwood Mac perform iconic track The Chain on the 1997 The Dance tour He told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2011: "I had a lot of crazy girlfriends, and a lot of that was just an outgrowth of the lifestyle we were all leading. 'I did see a lot of friends who were parents and spouses — back in previous decades — who weren't really there and kind of screwed up their kids, and were not there for their family situations. "So I waited and I was lucky enough to meet someone relatively late. 'So it's worked out really well. I got all that other garbage out of the way.' Lindsey also famously dated one-time bandmate Stevie Nicks and the pair wrote some of their most famous songs following their split, including Go Your Own Way. 7 Stella posts lip-syncing videos on TikTok Credit: Tiktok/@stelllabuckingham FLEETWOOD MAC STAR Lindsey joined the world famous band Fleetwood Mac in 1975. Together with Stevie, the band was formed of Mick Fleetwood, and Christine and John McVie. Lindsey first left the band in acrimonious circumstances in 1987. He then rejoined when the group reformed in 1997 but again left under a cloud, amid rows over a forthcoming tour in 2018. 7 Lindsey left Fleetwood Mac again in 2018 Credit: Getty Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the time, Mick Fleetwood admitted the acrimonious exit of Lindsey could have marked the end of one of rock's great names. He said: 'Lindsey's departure was traumatic and a major change for the band, but we decided we wanted to carry on. We made the decision together. "Of course, we could have just stopped and it probably would have been an easy point to stop, but we definitely didn't want to. 'Lindsay left fairly acrimoniously and we weren't getting on well any more, and yes, it is a happier ship to be on. "We have two new people in the band who have been hugely accepted and welcomed, but in many ways it does amaze me that we are still here all these years later, after all of the ups and downs."
