Listen: Fleetwood Mac release first new music in ten years, EP out now
Music icons release new EP on iTunes
- Something different: Stevie Nicks told The Guardian, "This is going to be a very different tour. The audience is going to see a very different Fleetwood Mac up there - we talked about how we really need to appreciate what we have and who we are and how far we've come." So who knows what you could see - although there's no doubt that whatever it is, it'll be worth it.

Fleetwood Mac have this week released a brand new EP, titled Extended Play, their first new music in ten years.
The four-track collection was released today (30 April, 2013) and consists of new tracks 'Without You', 'It Takes Time', 'Sad Angel' and 'Miss Fantasy' - their first new music since 2003 album, Say You Will. Listen to 'Sad Angel' from the collection below.
Mick Fleetwood had previously spoken of their new material, saying they were uncertain whether fans would want to hear new tracks.
"I hope there's a demand for it," says Fleetwood in an interview with 6Music in February, 2013, also hinting that a full studio album could also be in the pipeline. He added that the new songs were written with Lindsey Buckingham in an attempt to persuade Stevie Nicks back into singing with the band.
He said, "We wanted her to know we wanted to make some new music and we had some great songs. But her mother died not too long after and it wasn't the time for her to do any singing, so we dropped it.
"Then recently she's sung on three of them and recorded one original song of hers, so we're going to mix these songs down and there'll be something that we will play hopefully on stage."
