Rocking performances of Christine McVie
Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks made Fleetwood Mac one of the most prominent rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s. Her Instagram post is a tribute to her best friend, Nicks. She wrote, "I was just told that my best friend in the entire world whom I have known since 1975 had passed away," she wrote. "I wasn't even aware of her illness until late Saturday night." I was eager to visit London; I wanted to go to London; however, we were instructed to wait. A part of Fleetwood's heart has flown away today with McVie's passing. We earthbound folks will pause with bated breath to listen with bated breath to the sounds of that "songbird", reaffirming that there is love all around us that we can reach for and touch in this precious life that is ours to make our own.

Personal life history of Christine McVie
Her maiden name, Christine Perfect, derived from her birth in the Lake District village of Bouth, which led to her changing names to McVie. Her band Chicken Shack first gained attention with a cover of Etta James' I'd Rather Go Blind, which featured McVie on lead vocals. In 1968, she married John McVie, then left the band one year later and joined Fleetwood Mac. Nicks and Buckingham joined the band in 1974 after many changes to the lineup, which McVie described as "pretty sensational". She added: "We had our fights here and there, but nothing was more intense or musical than what we performed on stage. We were doing nothing in Britain, so we fled to America and began this great musical adventure." Christine and John McVie divorced in 1976 but remained friends and collaborated. Their 1975 self-titled album included the hits Over My Head and Said You Love Me. They remained friends and collaborated until the end of their lives.
The news about her death
It is two years since Peter Green, 73, the co-founder of Fleetwood Mac, died. Music industry tributes poured in online. In her tribute to McVie, Nicks quoted the song Hallelujah by the US band Haim: "Our growing up years were enriched by the sisterhood Stevie and Christine shared." It has been such an inspiration to see two strong women supporting each other in our favorite band. Sheryl Crow also commented on Twitter: "I am gutted to hear about Christine McVie's passing. Just gutted. Songbird forever." Garbage's official Twitter account tweeted: "I am so sad to hear she has gone to heaven. The world feels weird without her. She's such an icon, a legend, and a great human being."
