Mirage is the thirteenth studio album by the British and American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 2 July 1982 by Warner Bros. Records. This studio effort's soft rock sound stood in stark contrast to its more experimental predecessor, 1979's Tusk. Mirage yielded several singles: "Hold Me", "Gypsy", "Love in Store", "Oh Diane", and "Can't Go Back". In addition, "Wish You Were Here" was released in Jamaica only, and topped the Jamaican singles chart.
