Fleetwood Mac Rolls Toward Grand Rapids Concert [Video]

Fleetwood Mac is back on the concert stage with its On With The Show Tour.

The trek hits Grand Rapids' Van Andel Arena on Tuesday.

The band's concert Saturday night in Lincoln, Neb., ended a few songs a few songs early when the band's founder and drummer, Mick Fleetwood, became ill with the stomach flu. In a statement issued today, the band said it's still scheduled to perform in Grand Rapids.

The band, set to play more than two hours, called off eight of its songs and finished the show with "Go Your Own Way" and "Songbird" almost an hour early, The Lincoln Journal-Star reported.

"We will come back," vocalist Stevie Nicks told the crowd. "You'll get one and a half full-on shows. We will come back. We're so sorry."

"It's really unfortunate," guitarist Lindsey Buckingham said.

Fleetwood Mac's current tour kicked off Sept. 30 in Minneapolis, wound down Dec. 20 in Tampa, resumed Jan. 16 in St. Paul, Minn., and runs through April 11 in Las Vegas before a United Kingdom leg.

The band began as a British blues act in the late 1960s, with Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. John's wife, Christine, then soon joined the group on keyboards and vocals.

The band shifted towards mainstream rock and pop in the 1970s, especially after the addition of an American duo, Buckingham and Nicks. With the lineup, Fleetwood Mac cut its self-titled album in 1975, earning praise for the smooth melodies and haunting lyrics of hits like "Rhiannon," "Say You Love Me" and Landslide.

Amid rumors of drug abuse, infidelity, and infighting, Fleetwood Mac released "Rumours" in 1977, which topped charts and spawned a string of hit singles: "Go Your Own Way," "Dreams," "Don't Stop," "You Make Loving Fun" and "The Chain."

The group showcased its broadening musical range with 1979's "Tusk", from the tribal drum beat of the title track featuring the University of Southern California marching band, to the heartbreaking ballad "Sara."

Despite more hits in the 1980s, like "Big Love" and "Little Lies," inner tensions fractured Fleetwood Mac. By 1988, band members began going their separate ways.

Last year, Fleetwood Mac's complete line-up got back together with McVie's return to the fold in January 2014.
