    Fleetwood Mac singer Christine McVie dead at the age of 79

    Fleetwood Mac singer Christine McVie died Wednesday following a short illness. She was 79.

    According to a statement shared to McVie's official Instagram account, the musician passed away peacefully at the hospital while surrounded by family.*

    "On behalf of Christine McVie's family, it is with a heavy heart we are informing you of Christine's death," the statement read.*

    "She passed away peacefully at hospital this morning, Wednesday, November 30th 2022, following a short illness.





    "She was in the company of her family. 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."

    Fleetwood Mac also shared a statement on McVie's Instagram account. It read, "There are no words to describe our sadness at the passing of Christine McVie. She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure.

    "She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life. We were so lucky to have a life with her.

    "Individually and together, we cherished Christine deeply and are thankful for the amazing memories we have. She will be so very missed."

    The British-born vocalist, songwriter and keyboard player was the creative force behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits, including "Everywhere," "Little Lies," "Say You Love Me," "Songbird" and "Don't Stop."*

    McVie was a steady presence and personality in a band known for its frequent lineup changes and volatile personalities — notably fellow singer-songwriters Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

    During its peak commercial years, from 1975-80, the band sold tens of millions of records and was an ongoing source of fascination for fans as it transformed personal battles into melodic, compelling songs.*

    McVie herself had been married to bassist John McVie, and their breakup — along with the split of Nicks and Buckingham — was famously documented on the 1977 release "Rumours," among the bestselling albums of all time.

    Fleetwood Mac, co-founded by drummer Mick Fleetwood in 1967, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. The group's many other hit singles included "Dreams," "Go Your Own Way" and "Landslide."

    I heard this come across the radio early tonight and was shocked. She lived a good long life and helped cheer up a younger nation.

    We listened to Fleetwood Mac a lot back in the day. I can still hear her voice in my memories.

    She was a bit after my time. I'm pretty much a 60's guy, music-wise. I lost interest in the 70s. Give me Motown, the Beach Boys, Elvis, the Shirelles and I'm happy.

    I listen to that era as well. Good memories of listening to AM radio, especially WOWO Ft Wayne and WCFL Chicago. Fleetwood Mac was one of my faves.

    I also enjoyed their music, back in the day.

    Hope she knew Jesus.

    The sad reality is that most successful entertainers receive all their rewards and public adulation on earth but have nothing when they stand before God
