Riley Keough and Sam Claflin paid homage to Fleetwood Mac in the first trailer for musical drama Daisy Jones & The Six.

The daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, 33, and the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 36, star as lead singers of a fictional 70s band in the upcoming Amazon Prime series.

Based on the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon, the progamme details the rise and precipitous fall of the renowned rock group before they call it quits at the peak of their fame

Daisy Jones & The Six sees the musicians, decades after their split, finally agreeing to reveal the truth behind that painful decision in the mockumentary style drama.

The first trailer for the much-anticipated series sees Daisy (Keough) walk up to a stage, with thousands of fans chanting her name, before exiting a private jet emblazoned with their band name.

The clips then shows Daisy Jones & The Six looking exuberantly happy while performing in extravagant costumes in arenas, but the illusion is shattered with the announcement: ‘Their break up made them legends.’

Speaking to the camera, Daisy reveals: ‘Look I know I told you I would tell you everything. But how much of everything do you really want to know?’

‘You write songs about who you wish you were not who you are,’ she continues to Billy (Claflin). ‘What about if you wrote songs about the guy who wants things he shouldn’t?’

Next is a montage of sound checks, backstage revelry, and Billy hugging what could be a lover in an 80s, Architectural Digest-approved, swag pad in LA.

‘Who’d want to hear a song about that?’ Billy remarks, with Daisy replying: ‘I think everybody would’.

The trailer also shows clips of Daisy cradling a newborn in hospital, Suki Waterhouse, who plays Karen Sirko, welling up and a violent-looking punch-up.
