There's a statement on her official Twitter page:

Twitter

If this is true - and I can only assume it is - I am truly truly saddened. Fleetwood Mac are my favourite band, and Christine is my favourite member.

It seems it's true - Fleetwood Mac have just posted a statement on Facebook.

Such a talent, too bloody young.

(when I say too young, 79 isn't young really is it - it just felt like she was ageless)

Looks true, Stevie has just posted on insta. ☹️

I've just heard this too. Very sad. She always seemed so down to Earth and ordinary, not at all affected by fame.

I'll be listening to Songbird and having a bit of a weep later this evening I think.

Oh no! Devastating news. There's a really good documentary about Christine on iplayer. Such a talented woman.

I thought she was younger than 79. Really sad news.

Notonthestairs · 30/11/2022 19:46

That is sad news. Such a talented songwriter. The BBC documentary about her was fascinating.

BeverleyMacca1 · 30/11/2022 19:46

Such sad news.

TheOtherBoleynGirls · 30/11/2022 19:46

Oh 😓 She had such a wonderfully unique voice and as I'm sure everyone will say, Songbird is just the most heartfelt, poignant song. She gave us so much beautiful music, love to all her family and the band x

Axolotlquestions · 30/11/2022 19:49

Very sad. Fleetwood Mac are magnificent. Having a listen to Songbird now.
RIP Christine.

So, so sad. She was an incredible songwriter with the most beautiful voice.

A terrible loss to the world 😔

Cocolapew · 30/11/2022 19:54

Oh no, Songbird is one of my favourite songs 😦

WildRosie · 30/11/2022 19:56

I've just been listening to You Make Loving Fun. Great song yet a simple pop groove.

golddustwomen · 30/11/2022 19:56

Tears in my eyes. Thank you for the music and the thousands of memories associated with that music Christine x
