The band's manager claimed that he owned the name Fleetwood Mac and put out a "fake Mac". Nobody in the "fake Mac" was ever officially in the real band , although some of them later acted as Danny Kirwan's studio band. Fans were told that Welch and John had quit the group, and that Fleetwood and Christine would be joining the band at a later date, after getting some rest. Fleetwood Mac's road manager, John Courage, worked one show before he realised that the line being used was a lie. Courage ended up hiding the real Fleetwood Mac's equipment, which helped shorten the tour by the fake band. A lawsuit soon followed over who owned the name "Fleetwood Mac" that dragged out for almost a year but eventually was solved in the band's favour. Interestingly, the fake band renamed themselves Stretch, and had [[OneHitWonder one hit]] in 1975 with "Why Did You Do It?", the lyrics of which accused Mick Fleetwood of being involved with putting the fake band together and attacked him of failing to join them on tour.
