Mick Fleetwood has admitted to loving Fleetwood Mac more than he's ever loved any of his wives.

As co-founder of the legendary rock group, he says that although he's tied the knot now a total of three times, his love for music comes out top every time.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph and questioned whether it is the case he explained: "I think it has been, yes. I didn't consciously think that, but when you put together a book like this [his new autobiography 'Play On'] there is a lot of pain.

"Jenny [Boyd, his first wife] helped me write the book and there's lots of stuff I don't think I even knew about Jenny. I wanted and needed to go there."

The star also said that he feels "haunted" by Peter Green, the band's founder who's now been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Speaking about the illness Mick said: "He haunts me. His illness could have come on without any drugs. He was incredible sensitive. You would never have known how much Peter was suffering. We never knew he was in a whole heap of trouble.

"We never had the tools of recognition because he still seemed like Peter, and when the transition came, it was something that pushed him over the edge. This delicate, incredibly sensitive person was already asking himself questions."

The singer now says he and bandmates Stevie Nicks, John and Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham should have realised the situation's serious nature from some of Peter's lyrics.

"He wrote a song, 'Man of the World'. It's terribly sad. There are words in it, 'I just wish I'd never been born'. We should have realised but we just didn't know."
