Fleetwood Mac's founder John McVie has sadly been diagnosed with Cancer, forcing the band to pull their Australian and New Zealand tour dates and fans today have been showing their respect for McVie.
The band released a full statement via their Facebook page earlier on today (October 27th) stating that John will unfortunately be starting treatment for Cancer during what would be their Australian and New Zealand tour, so have been forced to cancel the shows.
Since the announcement, fans have shared their respects and best wishes online.

He put the Mac into Fleetwood Mac and John McVie is a tough old bugger. He'll kick the Big C, because we need more of his killer bass-lines.

Though some fans are worried about a certain rumoured Festival appearance next year.
