Mick Fleetwood Was A Military Brat
The bands’ co-founder was also their drummer, Mick Fleetwood. While he was born in Redruth, Cornwell, he grew up with his father serving in Britain’s Royal Air Force. That means that he spent his time growing up traveling around the world. For the majority of the time, he would spend his time in Egypt and Norway.

They lived in Egypt first for about six years and then moved over to Norway when his father was posted there. Rom all of this traveling, Fleetwood ended up becoming fluent in Norwegian. He ended up referring to himself as a gypsy and a traveling alien in an interview in 1994. This is for sure because he traveled so much as a kid.
