Mr Fleetwood said of the show heading to cinemas: “I’m thrilled that our wonderful tribute concert to my friend and mentor, Peter Green, is headed to the big screen.
“Fleetwood Mac fans will get the opportunity to see this amazing show as if they were sitting in the stalls that night.
“The generous spirit of love and admiration from all our wonderful guests that night highlight the legacy of those early years of Fleetwood Mac songs. It’s immensely fulfilling to know that this show will live on forever - just like Peter’s amazing music.
“I can’t think of a time when you get to see a line-up of rock n’ roll legends this great at the local cinema?”
Peter Green was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and has been rated by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
