Mick Fleetwood has some regrets about airing Fleetwood Mac’s dirty laundry.

In an interview with the Sun, Fleetwood said he wasn’t happy with how open the band members’ personal lives were, saying it took away from their music for a long period of time.

“There’s no doubt those were hard-lived days,” he said. “For a while within Fleetwood Mac there were romances and that lifestyle … and the other stuff got forgotten – and we really asked for that trouble. We were too open about who we were and what we were doing – probably very naive. All anyone ever asked about was, ‘Who is sleeping with who?’ or ‘Who is angry with who?’ And you start to feel it’s a shame.”

Fleetwood also added that he had not spoken with Lindsey Buckingham since their tumultuous split last year.
