Fleetwood Mac To Be Honored As 'MusiCares Person Of The Year'

Fleetwood Mac Honored

Two-time GRAMMY winners FLEETWOOD MAC will be honored at the 2018 MUSICARES PERSON OF THE YEAR tribute on JAN. 26, 2018. The quintet — comprising LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM, MICK FLEETWOOD, CHRISTINE MCVIE, JOHN MCVIE and STEVIE NICKS — is the first band to receive the prestigious award.

FLEETWOOD MAC will be honored in recognition of their significant creative accomplishments and their longtime support of a number of charitable causes, including MUSICARES, the premier safety net of critical resources for the music industry.

Proceeds from the 28th annual benefit gala — to be held at RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL in NEW YORK CITY during GRAMMY Week two nights prior to the 60th GRAMMY Awards — provide essential support for MUSICARES, which ensures music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need.

"Our 2018 MUSICARES PERSON OF THE YEAR tribute is a celebration of firsts — the first time our annual signature gala will be held in NEW YORK CITY in 15 years, and the first time in the benefit's history that we will honor a band," said RECORDING ACADEMY Pres./CEO NEIL PORTNOW. "This excitement is only matched by the genuine thrill and privilege of paying tribute to FLEETWOOD MAC, a legendary and influential group of artists whose music has provided the soundtrack for music lovers around the world."
