Overview

• Rolling Stone reported that a Fleetwood Mac representative said the supposed birthday performance is not happening and is 'not in the realm of true'.
• The Daily Mail and The News had cited unnamed sources claiming the surviving members would play a James Bond–themed, two-day party at Rowling’s Killiechassie estate in early November for about 200 guests.
• A spokesperson for J.K. Rowling declined to comment on the reports.
• Stereogum noted the Daily Mail later amended its story, though some earlier social posts and syndicated versions continued to circulate the original claim.
• Context underscoring the denial includes the band’s last performance in 2019 and Stevie Nicks’ public statement in 2024 that Fleetwood Mac ended after Christine McVie’s death in 2022.
