[Music] Christine McVie RIP

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Lived locally (to me). RIP

This is stunning.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I liked songs from both incarnations of Fleetwood Mac and Christine(RIP) was the strongest songwriter of Mark Two I think. The album before Rumours(just called Fleetwood Mac) had loads of good tunes - this is just one of hers. I prob would have posted Songbird though if Icy hadn’t beaten me to it

 

[OzMike]

RIP, beautiful voice.

Love all incarnations of Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green imho was THE greatest guitarist of all time). First Mac album bought though was Tango when I was 15. I'm also a big fan of Danny Kirwin and this is a nice song from Future Games with Christine singing.

RIP. Can't believe tbf she was as old as 79!

 

[Lenny Rider]

Apparently the real love of her life was Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys, unfortunately their relationship was doomed due to his various addictions.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Such a shame.... Her voice was a thing of beauty

 

[Napier]

Very sad news. Beautiful voice.

 

[SK1NT]

Really upsetting. I loved her songs and Fleetwood mac. I was lucky enough to see them all perform together for the first time in years at the O2 in 2015 and they were amazing.

I knew that the band were aging but didn’t think she would be the first to go. She looked good for her age. A real talent.

RIP Chrissie. Thanks for the music. You’re music will out last us all.

I was meeting at mate at the pub tonight. I put my fleetwood mac T-shirt on that I hadn’t worn in ages and then got in the car and that’s when the update came on my phone that she has passed… odd.

If you have a chance to get to see Rumours of Fleetwood please go. May you R-i-P and thank you for the music.

 

[sully]

I overlooked her contributions to Rumours initially, but her songs became my favourites over time and I absolutely loved her voice.
Disappointed that she wasn’t with the band when I saw them in 2009.
Her music will live forever.

 

[Binney on acid]

I was lucky enough to see her with Fleetwood Mac at 'The Rainbow', during the 'Rumours' tour. Always loved her voice.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Very sad news. The sensible one in the band and a simply wonderful songwriter and singer. This came as a real shock yesterday.

 

[GT49er]

Saw her in her Chicken Shack days. Very talented lady. RIP.

 

[Barrow Boy]

This has really upset me, she wrote and performed on nearly all of my favourite Fleetwood Mac songs and I must admit to having a big crush on her.
RIP and thankyou for the music Christine.

 

[TugWilson]

Some passings hit home more than others , this is one of them . R.I.P.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

One of the less celebrated members of the band and less in the spotlight, but to my mind probably the most talented musically.

R.I.P. Christine.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Oh no. RIP Christine. Underrated in my view, but made some wonderful contributions to Fleetwood Mac. I didn't expect this and hadn't read it elsewhere. Very sad. Preferred her stuff to Stevie Nicks' in the band.

Absolutely this, somewhat overshadowed by Stevie . . . but l know which one l preferred.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Can I recommend you to go to theBBC iPlayer and look up music

there is a two hour concert when they reformed

it is a fantastic concert and Christine was a major part of fleetwood Mac. Lindsay buckingham’s guitar craft is sublime.

RIP one of the most talented songwriters and performers ever.

 

[Questions]

It often takes sad news like this to make you realise how much you love music. And the thanks you have to these people……. I’m always in awe of them.

 

[WATFORD zero]

A huge part of one of the great rock and roll family trees. Such a talent, such a loss
