Mick Fleetwood claims to be ‘penpals’ with One Direction’s Harry Styles
The pair reportedly met at a 1D show
Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood has spoken about his unlikely friendship with One Direction star Harry Styles.
The American drummer has revealed that he met the singer after taking his children to a One Direction gig. Harry later presented fellow Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks with a birthday cake onstage at one of the band’s recent London shows.
Speaking on his friendship with Styles, Mick told The Mirror: “We’re penpals! I took two 13-year-old daughters and their mates to see One Direction. And at that point, the girls are going, ‘Dad, just don’t embarrass us! No dad dancing!”
He continued: “We had the meet-and-greet thing… and what happened in front of my daughters was Dad became a superstar! One Direction all wanted to meet me! My ante got upped!
“All their songwriting team wanted to meet me. That’s when I met Harry and he’s come to three of our shows. He writes to me from weird places."
Meanwhile, Isle of Wight festival boss John Giddings recently claimed that money was the motivation behind Fleetwood Mac’s recent Glastonbury snub.
The American band will headline Isle Of Wight festival later this week.
