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.

Stevie Nicks is still touring as a solo artist - she's amazing.

Both she and Christine are from an era where female singers/musicians didn't have to writhe around half naked to be successful.

This one? www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0008k8q I caught up with last night. Such sad news.

Nicks has a voice like no one else on earth. I think she is (or was) the only female artist to have been inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame twice. She has incredible charisma as a performer.

Why do some people always insist on setting women against each other? They were friends who loved each other: both were talented, both were beautiful. No wonder that together Fleetwood Mac were such a force as a band, despite the tension between the two couples.

Well said!
