Fleetwood Mac ‘Rumours’ Producer Settles Copyright Lawsuit Over Broadway Hit ‘Stereophonic’

A producer on Fleetwood Mac’s album Rumours reached a settlement ending a lawsuit claiming the Broadway hit Stereophonic stole material from a memoir.

The creators of the hit Broadway play Stereophonic have reached a settlement to resolve a copyright lawsuit claiming they stole elements of the show from a memoir about the infamous recording of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. In a court filing Tuesday, attorneys for both Caillat and Adjmi said that they had “resolved the dispute in principle as to all claims and defendants, and are working to commit their agreement to writing.” And in a brief order, the judge seemed pleased that the case would not be moving forward. In their Oct. 2 lawsuit, Caillat and co-author Steven Stiefel said the hit play “presents a nearly identical story arc as Making Rumours,” told from the same perspective of a sound engineer in a recording studio, about five characters who are “undeniably analogous to the members of Fleetwood Mac.”
