Mick Fleetwood
Hi there, don't keep changing the birthdate of Fleetwood's birth to 1942. There's a discussion on his talk page here about it, and there's no decent evidence for 1942, and very good evidence for 1947. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I'M MAYBE WRONG BUT THE DRUMMER WORLD SAYS 1942 AND AS FAR AS I KNOW HE IS SUSAN FLEETWOOD OLDER BROTHER SHE WAS BORN SEPTEMBER 1944


 * His autobiography says 1947, and so does his birth certificate. His autobiography also says he got his first drumkit aged 13, and started playing Shadows and Everly Brothers hits. If he was born in 1942, he'd have been 13 in 1955, way before the Shadows or the Everlys. There's also a piece in the Times newspaper from November 3, 1990 about Susan Fleetwood, in which Mick is described as "two years younger" . I'll try and find a copy of his birth certificate and post it on the talk page. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:13, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Look my friend we'll not fight about his birthdate, Mick is a great drummer (See his latest Coventry Gig), but something is strange however, i.e The Magazine The Drummer seems to me a reliable source as well as IMDB both speaking of 1942. More strange also is that the Times says he is 2 years younger than his sister Susan, which would then mean 1946 and not 1947, as she was born 1944. But on my side I read once he is his older brother !!! I also have seen written somewhere about this debate that he maybe changed his birth date in order to appear "younger" than he is !!! who knows but if as you say you saw his certificate then I suppose you're right. :-))


 * I agree, it's not a big thing really but there's definitely something strange about it. There are a few places where you'll find 1942, but others where it says 1947. The certificate I saw said 1947, and I'm *assuming* it's genuine. I'm definitely going to get hold of a copy of his certificate from the Registry Office over Christmas when I'm back in Redruth - that way we'll get to the bottom of it!

Pretty good idea. Look forward to read about your investigations to finally know if he is 64 or 69 ! Till then we'll let this opened.
