1. So sorry to hear that

loved her voice

[blue neen]

2. Oh my gosh.

That is a shock. RIP Christine.

[Ohio Joe]

3. RIP

[tanyev]

4. Oh, how sad.

I think she was an underrated member of the group. I never heard if she liked having a lower profile or if it bothered her.

[exboyfil]

13. Kind of like George Harrison

Buckingham and Nicks got most of the songwriting cuts on the albums, but the stuff she did was quality and so different than Nicks' songs. She also sang lead with a beautiful voice and harmonized with the others well. You also had her keyboard work.


A vital piece of Fleetwood Mac and a transition from the blues band to the California band they became with the addition of Buckingham and Nicks.

[H2O Man]

19. I liked her the best.

[Earth-shine]

21. At times, I thought she was the most talanted of all of them.

[H2O Man]

25. I agree.

I played FM every day working in the garden for years. And I'd always take a break when her songs came on.

[Lunabell]

5. Wow! Oh no!

RIP

[H2O Man]

6. Sad news.

[exboyfil]

9. Sorry to hear that

I didn't follow Fleetwood Mac when they first made it big, but I have come to love them the last ten years. Their albums are on regular rotation when I am going to bed.

Great songwriter and great voice.

Comfort to her family and friends.

[PRETZEL]

10. Her voice was angelic

RIP Christine

[Cha]

11. RIP Christine McVie 🤦‍♂️💕 nt

[dem4decades]

12. My favorite member of the band. The albums will be played and a tear shed. Love her.

[hlthe2b]

14. OMG.... I saw your subject line flash as I was about to log off and DAMN!

I am such a Fleetwood Mac fan and find this just horrible to fathom.

Just devasted...



You've left a lot of appreciative fans, Christie. I hope your passing was peaceful and full of love.

[Earth-shine]

28. Thanks for posting. Never saw this vid before. Christie looks and sounds great, here!

[hlthe2b]

61. Sadly, Chevrolet EV commercial is now playing with that song "Everywhere"

so it was on my mind today when I heard the news.

So, sad. I adore Stevie Nicks, but Christine McVie had an incredible voice and such a nice presence in the band.

[PlutosHeart]

83. I love this.

ThX for posting.

[chowder66]

16. Oh No!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. How sad

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

18. RIP💐

[Javaman]

20. well shit. I just got back into fleetwood macs music and her contributions specifically.

I always preferred her voice over stevie nicks.

rest in peace.

[oregonjen]

22. What a shock!

Fleetwood Mac is an integral part of my life. I’m so sad reading this news.

[2naSalit]

23. RIP!

I was just telling someone about her at Thanksgiving. They didn't know much about the band before B&N showed up. I liked the band prior to that, after, not so much. Was okay with B but not N.

Anyway, she was sadly understated. A solid musician and was an influence for me of sorts.

[livetohike]

24. So sad. My sympathy to her family, friends and fans. Loved

her voice.

[DickKessler]

26. She was one of my favorites.

[maxsolomon]

27. My favorite Mac member.

Esp on the earlier LPs.

RIP rock legend.

[shanti]

29. RIP, Christine

One of my early faves of hers:

[debm55]

30. Oh my, I loved her voice.

RIP Christine we will miss you.

[calimary]

31. OH NOOOO!!!!!!!!

OMG! What a loss!!!

She was so talented and versatile, as a singer/songwriter/musician. Stevie Nicks was flashier, but Christine McVie had the biggest talent.

DAMN.

[H2O Man]

35. +1

[burrowowl]

69. +1 RIP McVie

[Nevilledog]

77. Stevie Nicks written statement

[calimary]

79. What I liked best was how they never seemed jealous of each other

or resentful or catty.

I’m really glad. Cuz I’ve been in situations where I was one of two girls in the group - in this case a newly assembled team of FM anchors for a news network aimed at rock stations. I’d never had a chance to work with the other woman. She and I were always on competing radio stations in the same market. I felt no hostility or jealousy or resent my toward her. For Pete’s sake, WHY???

I assumed we were on friendly terms. But she evidently harbored resentment toward me. It later came to full flower when we were both hired for this new young adult network. She immediately hated me! And what did I ever do to her? Besides exist? And, I suppose, get in her way, even though we had different shifts and I never wanted to be in ANYBODY’S way in the first place! Certainly never tried to get in anybody’s way.

When I was still working I learned a boatload about the downside of being successful. The higher you climb, the more people there are at levels below you, resenting what you achieved and presuming that the job you worked so hard to earn should be theirs instead. And they’d wind up shooting at you (figuratively speaking) to get you out of their way.

[GReedDiamond]

32. Thanks for the great tunes...RIP Christine...nt

[Tommymac]

33. Godspeed Christine.

You were the best.

[Ohiya]

34. Early Fleetwood Mac was a major part of the soundtrack of my first marriage,

which was pretty good most of the time. My wife had "The Legendary Christine Perfect" album - Christine McVie's solo album before she joined Fleetwood Mac. My early Fleetwood Mac albums were stolen. I'm listening to Rumours right now and reminiscing.

[bif]

48. I was a fan of them when they were a blues band.

Never cared for their stuff after they turned into a pop group.

[mzmolly]

66. I never tire of Rumours.

[AngryOldDem]

75. One of the best albums ever.

[mzmolly]

78. Fully agree.

[mac56]

37. This

[ismnotwasm]

38. Damn.

[mac56]

39. And this

[dalton99a]

40. R.I.P.

[FirstLight]

41. RIP ...

This is the one I immediately thought of...

[not a texan]

42. that cd with her at the piano pictured above is grat

I have had that cd for a long time and keep a copy in the car. Give it a listen and you will influence on Fleetwood Mac

[DFW]

43. She was part of one of those perfect storm bands

A group of incredibly talented musicians came together and unbelievably fabulous music came out of it. She was definitely one of them.

[Scalded Nun]

44. Wonderful voice. RIP

[orangecrush]

45. Sad news

[Evolve Dammit]

46. Very sad to hear this. "Mystery to Me" album still my favorite. Deepest sympathies to her family.

[geardaddy]

47. RIP

What a great talent.

[Raine]

49. Sad news 💔... R-I-P Christine 🕯️🌹 nt

[The Polack MSgt]

50. That's a damn shame. She was such a great singer under rated song writer

and usually the adult in the room too.

[yardwork]

63. Usually the adult in the room, yes!

Well said.

[tinymontgomery]

51. Great vid of Christine Live from 75, from "Mystery to Me"

[WestMichRad]

52. Damn.

Love her vocals. After Peter Green left, she made the band shine.

[Tree Lady]

53. My husband danced with her and

Stevie Nicks in Modesto in 75 while they were playing the Rumors Album they didn't release until following week.

[FakeNoose]

54. Rest in Peace, Christine McVie

And thanks for all the great songs!

[Doc_Technical]

55. RIP Christine McVie Thank you for the music.

[Stinky The Clown]

56. Rest well. 79 years is a good run.

[rhiannon55]

57. That's so sad! I always

thought her voice was better than Stevie’s. All the greats are dying… 😢😢😢

[CaptainTruth]

58. Damn... RIP...

[Lucinda]

59. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[turbinetree]

60. These two album's..... Mystery To Me and in my humble opinion along side Bare Trees

are the two finest albums ever produced.......

And this song being sung by Christine McVie..........

Mystery To Me....

The Way I Feel

Bare Trees.....

Spare Me a Little of Your Love

[yardwork]

62. This is sad. She had a beautiful voice and so much talent.

Seemed like a very nice person, too.

[YoshidaYui]

64. Awesome singer and activist

[mzmolly]

65. Such a loss. :(

[wendyb-NC]

67. Oh no, sorry to hear that

R.I.P. Christine McVie.

70. Time for me to listen to songbird and cry

I really enjoyed her work

[Duppers]

71. 🕯️

Very sad.

Sad news doubled - a dear friend just lost her dog.

[OldManTarHeel]

72. I Am Heartbroken

RIP Christine McVie

[ProfessorGAC]

73. RIP

Been thinking of her a lot lately because of the new Chevy commercial.
Her songs were very memorable.

[appmanga]

74. One of the great pop/rock songwriters ever.

I don't know if she's gotten her due. While she doesn't have the catalogue of Paul McCartney, she had the same gift for writing wonderful melodies and songs you find yourself singing along with. The re-popularity of "Everywhere" is an indication of how timeless her songs are and will always be. She was a great artist.

[IcyPeas]

76. I loved the old Fleetwood Mac (with Bob Welch too).

once Stevie Nicks and Buckingham joined it really was a different band.

[Meowmee]

80. She will be missed

One of the greats of all time ❤️

[Different Drummer]

81. Farewell to a music legend!

[MustLoveBeagles]

82. Another legend gone

[Shellback Squid]

84. I love her voice, it will continue

[BootinUp]

85. Her beautiful music will live on.

[ancianita]

86. She left us her beautiful music. Her "Everywhere" is one of my all time favorites.

RIP, Christine.

[Ilsa]

87. Incredible talent. I liked her voice, lyrics, and feelings her

music conveyed through rhythm, tempo, instrumentation. She will be missed by music lovers everywhere.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

88. "Don't Stop" has had a profound effect on my life.

The song helped me through a brutal relationship breakup in the early 80's. A musician friend saw how sad I was, and played it for me. Since then, I always think of the song to help me through when times get hard.

RIP, and thank you, Christine, for that great song, and the great advice.

[ornotna]

89. Sad

She was so gifted.

[nightwing1240]

90. Really sorry to hear this

Christine McVie was a fantastic song writer, singer and part of one of the best bands in music history. Her contributions to Fleetwood Mac were amazing! She will be missed but her music will live forever! Rest in Peace Christine McVie for a life well lived.
