Mick Fleetwood has revealed that former US president Bill Clinton never asked Fleetwood Mac for permission to use their song 'Don't Stop' as part of his 1992 election campaign.
The drummer and co-founder of the legendary band, who are currently on a world tour, told Absolute Radio that Clinton never made the call to the band regarding their use of the track, but they don't mind.
"I think we were fine with it," he said. "The only person who, in a comedic sense, John is not politically connected to Bill’s side of the fence, everyone else happened to be a supporter of the Democratic party to whatever avail that might be. It was a form of flattery, the highest form."

The 66-year-old star also revealed he is not certain if there are plans for a new album. "I think it is too early to say that is what is happening," he told Absolute.
"This door is closing at some point. I don’t know whether it is five years or seven years or it could be eighteen months, but I hope that whenever that happens that it is done gracefully, and I hope that we show people, not for commercial needs at all, because it is not about and we probably wouldn’t anyhow, but just the fact that we have made an album I think would be really important before the thought of closing the shop down, whenever that might be."
Fleetwood Mac are currently on a world tour, playing several nights at London's O2 Arena last week. They were at one point joined by former member Christine McVie, who co-wrote 'Don't Stop'.
