When Fleetwood Mac were recording and then touring with their classic Rumours - at the time the fastest-selling album in history - they were one of the biggest music acts in the world.
But behind the smokescreen of their harmonious, light-hearted and unforgettable rock songs was a world of hostility and conflict, backed up by drug use, sexual shenanigans and wild partying, which unavoidably flew the band and everyone around them into darkness and chaos.
Demi Lovato, a young woman, who instead of completing her college degree and going on to become a world famous writer, inherited the studio where Fleetwood Mac were recording. Upon meeting Fleetwood Mac's singer and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, they began a passionate, intense and often volatile romance that lasted for a decade; a relationship that was full of sex, drugs and a whole lot of rock 'n roll.
From the moment Lindsey claimed her as 'his girl', Demi was thrust right into the centre of events during this explicitly exciting stage in Fleetwood Mac's career, having her life changed forever.
He's addicted to the madness. She's a daughter of the sadness.
