Christine McVie, RIP

[getbent]

Big Fan. She was good from way back to now. I will miss her terribly. Many great times to her music. Thank you Christine! Go rest easy! You did a great great great job for all of us.

Sad news. She was a much stronger writer, vocalist and musician than Stevie (who basically just wrote the same song over and over), but lived a little in the shadow of the huge stage presence that Stevie brought.

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.

Christine layed down piano for a lot of the "Mr. Wonderful" album. Might be the closest we'd get to a Peter and Christine collaboration!

Think I'll put on "Bare Trees" in honor of Ms. Perfect today...

Oh man. I always figured Jon would go first, or Mick as I assumed they were the oldest of the group.

She had a wonderful voice and her organ and keys parts really rounded out the group.

She must be easy to love, I heard Jon (ex-husband) say in an interview once that he was really upset that Christie had found a new lover and the new guy happened to be his best friend. Later he said he came to terms with it and if she was going to leave him he said he would rather she leave him for his best friend than for someone he did not know.

Loved her smoother than Honey voice-
"Spare Me A Little" and "Over My Head"
were my fave Christine McVie lead vocals.

- she played piano and sang background vocals on early FM albums, before she became an official 'member'

RIP Christine, we love you

RIP. She was the glue that held them together in their middle period. Very underrated writer and musician.

I saw her at Camden Lock in London when she was Christine Perfect in Chicken Shack. A great talent.

Spare me a little of your love, Christine.

This one breaks my heart! Man, I loved that girl’s voice and her music! I always favored her songs over Stevie’s. Even though I was married when Fleetwood Mac hit the big time (76-77), I was in love with that girl!

Thanks Christine for all the great, great memories!!

I saw her and Lindsey B. just 5 years ago in Philly. Up until that time, that was the most I spent for a concert ticket, but it was worth every penny! Jakob Dylan opened the show.

One of my favorites of hers from “Heroes Are Hard To Find”:



There is a new angel singing in heaven tonight. RIP Miss!

Oh, no!

Ah no... may the good Lord rest her soul...

Sad to hear. I was traveling last weekend and listening to old Fleetwood Mac albums. I have to say that “Mystery to Me” is one their best Bob Welch era albums with great songs and guitar tones. Here’s one of the cool but obscure tracks from that album, sung by Christine MacVie.

 

[Wyzsard]

I'm saddened by news of all who pass this world, but this one hurts.

RIP mam

Not her most popular song but my favorite. Love John's bass lines as well.

RIP.

 

[Knows3Chords]

RIP. Songbird was one of the most bittersweet, beautiful songs ever written.

 

[Old Plank]

So sorry to hear this, such a brilliant, beautiful singer and writer, she could be as tender as anyone ever and rock it up in fun as well. RIP and thank you, thank you Christine.

Time and tide wait for no one. Still manages to be shocking somehow. What a legacy, though.

 

[Colo Springs E]

Beautiful voice and great songwriter too. As a teen, I had a big ol crush on her (more so than Stevie).

RIP Ms McVie, you gave us so much.
