Released in February 4th, 1977, the initial creation of “Rumours” was anything but peaceful. Everyone in the band was going through a personal breakup. In fact, 80% of the band had to work with their ex. But this awkwardness would led to drug-fueled backstabbing songs that would make music history.

Rock on My Dudes.
