Mick Fleetwood performed at a couple of cool Grammy-related events a few weeks back, but the Fleetwood Mac drummer now appears to be spending some quality time at his home on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
Videos by American Songwriter
Last week, Fleetwood posted a cute video Valentine’s Day message on his social media pages that may have gone under the radar of many fans. In the clip, the 77-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer serenades his pet pig Tilly on the ukulele.
The video shows Mick sitting on a folding chair in his large yard as Tilly munches on some grass in front of him. Next to Fleetwood is a large Buddha statue, a heart-shaped Valentine’s Day balloon stuck in the ground, and a flamingo plush toy that plays the Jackie Wilson hit “(You’re Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher.”
“Happy Valentine’s, Tilly. “Tilly’s my secret Valentine,” says Fleetwood, who’s holding a ukulele as the plush plays its song. “This one’s about my love for Tilly. Come on, girl, you can do it. Enjoy life. Eat up.” He then proceeds to strum some blues-y chords on the instrument.
When he finishes his tune, Fleetwood says, “Happy Valentine’s, girl. Happy Valentine’s, out there.” Mick then blows a kiss and flashes a peace sign to fans as the video ends.
Fleetwood accompanied the video with a message that reads, “Happy Valentine’s Day to my true love, Tilly. [T]his will be her 18th Valentine’s, so I wanted to make it special!! Cheers and happy [Valentine’s Day] to everyone out there. xx, Mick Fleetwood.”
Fleetwood Also Posted an Update About a New Musical Project
A separate social-media message posted on Saturday, February 15, features a hilarious photo of Mick dressed in drag from the cover of the 1968 Fleetwood Mac compilation album English Rose.
“Woke up this morning and felt like an English Rose!!!” Fleetwood in an accompanying note. “An old Fleetwood Mac Album and cover.”
He added, “And this morning excited to be working in the studio on my solo album.”
The last solo studio album Mick was released was Something Big in 2004. The record was credited to The Mick Fleetwood Band. In 2024, Mick released a collaborative blues album with Hawaiian ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro called Blues Experience.
