The legendary band invited staff from the fast food restaurant backstage at their gig at London's Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.

Last year, fans had launched a petition for the band’s frontwoman Stevie Nicks to work a shift and perform at the branch. The petition was signed by a staggering number of more than 20,000 people.

Sadly Nicks and the band weren’t able to go to the restaurant, but they made up for it by inviting McDonald's staff stageside for a one-off special experience on the final stop on the European leg of their current tour.

The band posed for a picture with the staff, and Fleetwood McDonald's franchisee Nigel Dunnington told local news outlet Lancs Live: "It was a fantastic evening seeing Fleetwood Mac live and to have the opportunity to share the experience with some of the Fleetwood team!

He went on to say "I'm still amazed the band got in touch - we're lucky our restaurant shares a name with such an iconic band. Going down to the concert has been an incredible way to recognise some of our amazing employees. And, if Fleetwood Mac ever find themselves in the Fleetwood area, we'd love to return the favour and invite them back."
