Oh no - Christine McVie has died

There's a statement on her official Twitter page:

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.

I've just seen this. So very sad. At least we saw her with Fleetwood Mac a few years ago. She sang Songbird with Lindsay Buckingham as the encore. So beautiful and wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Devastated. I loved her. Saw her with Fleetwood Mac live a few times and they were always better when she was there. Preferred her voice to Stevie's too.

Oh gosh. Such a talent and the backbone of Fleetwood Mac. According to the doc previously mentioned, she wrote Songbird in one sitting. A true legend and a big part of my life 😞

Fly high, songbird

How sad.

Oh my god, this is really sad and actually quite shocking news. I had no idea she was 79 either, in my head she was like early sixties.

I've just told DH and we are both filling up. DH asking Alexa for Rumours as we speak.

She was such a great talent.

Surprised at how sad I was to see this.

Yes Steve's is gurgley

Christine was so talented

Such sad news. Her voice was perfect and had a wonderful pitch.
A sad day.

RIP .. a true talent lost

I hope she has been happy and comfortable in her retirement

Devastated op, she too was my favourite. As others have said, saw them again on the last tour at Wembley 2019 (thankfully pre covid). I just thought there would be one last last final tour, one more chance to see them.
RIP Christine, thank you for the music.
what a legacy.

Had to google her as I don't know much about Fleetwood Mac, but that is sad. Also surprised she was that old. I think of that group as being about 60-65.

Really sad. Loved her voice. Fleetwood Mac has always been one of my favourite bands. Can't believe she was 79.

This has really upset me. Lovely woman and incredible musical legacy

Such a talented and interesting woman.

I never saw them - missed out the last time they toured (when Christine rejoined them), gutted.

She wasn't retired. She rejoiced the band some years back after she retired. Got bored sitting around the big house so went back out there.

So sad

This truly makes me sad.....RIP

Beyond upset at this news. After an indescribably shitty year, this has somehow just put the butter on the shit sandwich :(

So sad! She was a great talent. I was lucky enough to see her play with fleetwood Mac and I'm great full for that.
