Jeremy Spencer

“It was a choice. I had come to a point where I couldn't go on, not so much with the band, but with my life.”

“I was a man of many masks. I was a comedian onstage, and that got to be a bit of a burden.”

“The blues, for me, was a very real expression of feeling.”

“Elmore James was my hero. I spent hours trying to sound just like him.”

“Peter Green was always very encouraging. He’d say, ‘Go on, you can do it.’ He was the one who pushed me.”

“You get to a point in rock and roll where it’s just the same thing over and over. I was getting very bored.”

“I'd always been interested in spiritual things, but I was living a pretty wild life.”

“When I joined the Children of God, I felt a sense of purpose I hadn't felt before.”

“Leaving Fleetwood Mac was the hardest decision of my life, but at the time, it felt like the only one.”

“Music is still a huge part of my life. It's a gift.”

“There was a lot of darkness around the band in those days.”

“I don't regret my past, it has all led me to where I am today.”
