Default RIP Christine McVie, Fleetwood Mac

79 y/o. I always liked her mellow, soulful vocal tone and keys playing. RIP

I liked her stuff a lot.
Christine wrote some great pop songs and she seemed like a very nice lady.

Yeah, she was a piano player, but she was also a very talented songwriter and had a beautiful voice. Thank you.

Sad. That version of Fleetwood Mac was greater than the sum of it's parts.

I just got done reading the obituary in the NYTimes. Bless her heart, I’m sorry to see her go.

Yes, I was extremely sorry to read about her death. I found her really likable.

I found the following on the Internet just now. Maybe we will know more later.

"On Christine's official Instagram account on Nov. 30, 2022, her family posted a statement announcing her death. 'On behalf of Christine McVie’s family, it is with a heavy heart we are informing you of Christine’s death. She passed away peacefully at hospital this morning, Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, following a short illness. She was in the company of her family,' the statement reads.

"It continues, 'We kindly ask that you respect the family’s privacy at this extremely painful time, and we would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally. RIP Christine McVie."

What a shame. She will be remembered.

- Glenn

In the middle of all the strife, she was apparently the most sane one in the bunch. She sang lead on more hits than any of the others and boy, that Brummy accent. RIP Christine, the quiet one.
