Only saw them once, her playing Songbird solo on the piano was the highlight of the show for me.

Sad news..

A sad day indeed, she gave so much to music and to Fleetwood Mac. I will rewatch the Rumours documentary I think

She was 79? I didn't realize she was that old.

Sad news. She was a tremendous talent.

Sad news—My favorite part of Fleetwood Mac, by far.

 

[Strat Jacket]

OK, apparently so.
This sucks. She was such a vital part of FM.

 

[StratDal]

Well that just %^&$ing stinks. Father Time does it again.

Thank you for the many great times Ms. McVie. Rock In Peace

I tend to naturally focus on Buckingham and Nicks, so it's easy to forget to important she was to FM. She wrote amazing songs, played great keys, and sang beautiful vocals.

And I agree that Songbird is one of the strongest songs on their two perfect albums, which is saying a lot about her skill as a songwriter.

Always loved this, Chickenshack were one of my early influences.

 

[Strat Jacket]

She was part of the second "Golden Era" of FM along with Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch.

I wish Peter would have stayed with the band and Christine joined while he had the helm. WOW! No one would miss the new Fleetwood. Perfect world it would have been for Ms Perfect.
So sad, RIP Christine. Buckingham/Nicks would have been fine on their own.

You know, I can listen to Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey.

But without Christine?

No way.
