Members of Fleetwood Mac have commented that they may release some new music to coincide with their upcoming 2013 tour, but we also learn that their most successful album will be expanded for a deluxe edition reissue. Lost in the excitement of the tour announcement, the band promised that "a new deluxe reissue of Rumours with previously unreleased studio and live tracks will be released in early 2013 from Rhino."
The tour will be kicking off on April 4th in Columbus, OH and will feature most of the Rumours lineup of the group: founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, as well as Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks who joined the band in 1975.
"Having started Fleetwood Mac with John McVie in 1967, it has always been so gratifying that despite the various incarnations, the band has survived. Throughout the years, though, the one thing that has remained constant is our fans. I am looking forward to getting back behind the kit, reconnecting with the fans and sharing the stage with my fellow band members," commented Mick Fleetwood.
"After spending four days at Lindsey's house working on music and one really fun day doing a crazy photo session, I am quite excited about next year. Everything seems to be falling into place. 2013 looks like the year of Fleetwood Mac," commented Stevie Nicks.
"I'm really looking forward to hitting the road with Stevie, Mick and John in 2013. It's been over three years since we've toured together and happily the break allowed me to explore a lot of uncharted territory as well as experience tremendous growth creatively. I'm excited to bring that back to the band. When everyone in FM wants the same thing at the same time, it's cause for celebration. Long Live Fleetwood Mac!" added Lindsey Buckingham.
"I'm really looking forward to going back on the road," commented John McVie.
