According to a credible source, Fleetwood Mac frontman Mick Fleetwood is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the musician's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 22/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Fleetwood for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 77-year-old musician, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Fleetwood so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the musician have already been named ‘Briton Of The Year’ by some major British newspapers and even ‘Redruth Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Redruth (Mick Fleetwood's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the musician was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Mick Fleetwood Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveMick”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 21 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Mick Fleetwood?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Mick Fleetwood?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
