Christine McVie Dead at 79
- “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life,” Fleetwood Mac says
Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie has died “following a short illness,” her family said in a statement.
McVie died Nov. 30 in a hospital with her family nearby. She was 79.
“We would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally,” McVie’s family said.
“Gutted to learn about the passing of Christine McVie,” Garbage said in a statement. “Just gutted. Songbird forever.”
“This is so unbelievably sad,” Foghat wrote on Facebook. “RIP, Christine McVie. Such a beautiful soul.”
Born Christine Perfect, the singer/songwriter/keyboardist played first with Chicken Shack. She joined Fleetwood Mac after contributing to 1970’s Kiln House and was the band’s third-longest-serving member after Mick Fleetwood and her ex-husband John McVie.
“We cherished Christine deeply, the band said in a statement.
“She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure,” Fleetwood Mac said. “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life.”
McVie played alongside every member of Fleetwood Mac save for Peter Green and appeared on all but four of the band’s 18 studio albums.
Living Colour’s Vernon Reid eulogized McVie as his second-favorite Mac member after Green and quoted her lyrics to “You Make Loving Fun” as some of her best.
“No other voice … captured that feeling of the narcotic stage of love better than Christine McVie,” Reid said.
“What a tremendous loss to the music community,” Bret Michaels said on Twitter. “My deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Christine McVie.”
She recorded three solo albums between 1970 and 2004 and released a 2017 duo album with Lindsey Buckingham that was followed by a tour.
Her death is “terribly heartbreaking” and an “enormous loss,” Ron Sexsmith wrote on Twitter.
“She wrote my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs and I also loved her solo work,” he said.

Finding Fleetwood Mac's Mysterious, Enchanting, and Haunting Energy (Part 1)
As I've dived deeper into Fleetwood Mac's discography, I've realized that you can't pin most of the band's mysterious, enchanting, and haunting energy to Rumours. It's always been in the band.
The type of blues with Peter Green / Danny Kirwan / Jeremy Spencer that Fleetwood Mac was putting out naturally had dark and mystical themes, a prime example being The Green Manalishi (Then Play On - 1969). It's literally the same thing as Gold Dust Woman (Rumours - 1977), as he uses a witchy figure (and her effects) to describe his issues at that time with the struggles of money and drugs that come with being a musician, as well as shrieking instruments and howling throughout the song.
Other songs, like Albatross (1968) and of course Black Magic Woman (1968) also have ethereal and bewitching themes too.
It's also worth mentioning that the band was on drugs like LSD at this time too. Peter Green eventually Syd Barrett'ed out of the band; mental illness and drugs made him spiral and leave in 1970. So obviously, trips, delusions, and the users pretty much losing themselves to addiction during the creative processes, in addition to already being rooted in a dark and mythical genre means that the music is going to have an eerie, almost grieved, edge to it.
In my opinion, after Peter Green leaves the band, only a few songs between the end of his era and the beginning of Buckingham/Nicks carry the same heavy sound and theme I want to discuss. So before I next post on this topic (dealing with after Rumours), I suggest listening to the album Then Play On (1969) as there are many other songs I didn't bring up but still have the Fleetwood Mac sound mostly associated with Rumours. My favorites are Oh Well, Pt 1., World in Harmony, Closing My Eyes, One Sunny Day, and Before the Beginning.

Fleetwood Mac Go Back to the Blues Again for Farewell Tour
Fleetwood Mac is going as full circle as it can for one last tour.
Co-founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie recruited Peter Green-era guitarist Jeremy Spencer and Behind the Mask-period axeman Rick Vito for the Singing the Blues - Fleetwood Mac’s Final Farewell tour.
“This seems a fitting way to put the band to bed,” Fleetwood said in a statement. “Peter would be happy, rest his soul, John, Jeremy and I are happy and Rick is happy.”
Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2019 with a lineup that included Mike Campbell and Neil Finn standing in for Lindsey Buckingham. Christine McVie died in 2022.
“That last tour was weird,” Fleetwood said. “This will fix the chain.”
Dates will be announced soon.
4/1/24
