Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green dies aged 73: Singer-songwriter and guitarist behind one of band’s all-time classics Albatross passes away ‘peacefully in his sleep’, reveal family
A statement from solicitors revealed that Peter Green has died in his sleep
The influential blues rock guitarist formed Fleetwood Mac in 1967
Green left Fleetwood Mac after a final performance in 1970 as he struggled with mental health difficulties and drug abuse issues
He was part of the early lineup, a blues-rock band with a sound completely different from that of the later, more commercially successful lineup that featured Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie. I liked both incarnations of the band.

Man of the World no longer man of the World.
RIP, Peter Green!
“The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Prong Crown)”
Now, when the day goes to sleep
And the full moon looks
The night is so black that the darkness cooks
Don’t you come creepin’ around
Makin’ me do things I don’t wanna do
Can’t believe that you need my love so bad
Come sneakin’ around tryin’ to drive me mad
Bustin’ in on my dreams
Makin’ me see things I don’t wanna see
‘Cause you’re da Green Manalishi
With the two prong crown
All my tryin’ is up all your bringin’ is down
Just takin’ my love then slippin’ away
Leavin’ me here just tryin’ to keep from followin’ you
“Albatross” is a timeless piece of music. I hear cover versions by newer artists and it remains evergreen.
RIP
Sadly plagued with mental illness exacerbated by a bizarre LSD trip with German radicals Ranier Langhans and Uschi Obermaier when they were allegedly trying to talk him into doing a show for their kommune
Instead poor Peter went south bad mentally
Worlds best Jewish rock guitarists ever.....

Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green dead at 73
Greenie left Fleetwood Mac in 1970, so you posted a song written by Lindsey Buckingham released in 1977? Clueless.
