Christine McVie, was the renowned singer-songwriter behind some of Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits.
She died Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, after a brief illness, according to a statement posted by her family on her verified Instagram account.
The statement read:
McVie joined Fleetwood mac in 1970 after her marriage with the band’s bassist John McVie.
Why did Christine McVie retire?
After her father passed away while she was touring for Behind the Mask, McVie decided to retire from touring.
After Fleetwood, John McVie, and Buckingham got together for one of Buckingham’s solo projects in the mid-1990s, she was asked to sing and play on some of the tracks.
The four then decided a full reunion was possible and Nicks joined them.
The resulting album, The Dance, reached number one on the US album charts.
