The band confirmed McVie’s death in a note shared on social media. “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.”
Atomic_Blondie_ Such a loss, but will never be forgotten. RIP Christine!
thelastshow Such a soulful voice! I grew up with Fleetwood Mac in the early 70’s 🎶💕👍

RIP Christine, you were a true Songbird❤️
Love her. RIP Christine McVie 💜
How is she not Trending Shameful ChristineMcVie she was a Legend, my heart breaks 💔
My prayers 🙏 are with the family.
*Singer and SONGWRITER
In my own life, not many voices in the industry could be considered as influential in the wisdom behind the lyrics she sang. Yesterday's truly gone. We must move forward. Remembering the past doesn't mean forgetting about the future. Yeah, that kind of wisdom.
いい曲ありがとう。
Godspeed Christine.
Horribly sad, and unexpected, news. A beautiful and strong woman, and incredible song writer, vocalist and keyboard player. And so under the radar. Rest in peace.
One of my fav songwriter/musician/vocalist💔🙏🏾

Very sad passing of a talented lady...RIP Christine 💕

MicmacJack :-( What a loss.
My first concert ever at Red Rock. I was 12 and so excited!!! Ever since then my favorite band! So glad I was able to see her 4 years ago for the last time. She leaves an incredible legacy and forever has a place in my heart for the music I dearly love. RIPChristineMcVie
An amazing voice left for mankind to relish and enjoy forever. Thanks Christine McVie!
has joined the Heavenly Choir.
I can't even say how much her music means to me. In 1977, when i was 21 and living on the western slope in Colorado, my gf & I drove over the mountains to Folsom Field to see them. It's one of my fondest memories ever, and that's how I will always remember Christine McVee.
Sad news. McVie was a great talent and an essential part of the Fleetwood Mac sound. She added smoothness to Stevie's piercing voice and Buckingham's chesty power. An inimitable blend. She also wrote distinctive melodies. One McVie sleeper that I like is 'Think About Me.'
💔😢🙏 I will never forget when I first heard Fleetwood Mac on the radio in the 70's. Rumours was such a sensation...and i honestly thought: WOW-there are real women geniuses in rock & roll--cool! Christie McVie was indeed a true life genius & Songbird 🙏 RIPChristieMcVie
One of those artists who I remember from my early 20s, long time fan of her and Fleetwood Mac.
Dont forget ( I won't let you) 🤣🤣haha 'You Make Loving Fun'
best singer & song writer in the band what a loss
IndyMagz Playing Rumors CD at breakfast! She was cool.
RIP OUR DEAR SONGBIRD😔
😪😪😪😪
Christine McVie, up there with Sandy Denny, Dusty Springfield, Mary Travers. And still going, Carole King, Joni Mitchell. So lucky to have had my life enriched by these fabulous artists.
Just got into Fleetwood Mac this year. When the girls joined, it became a great band.
What a loss.
Man she had a amazingly haunting voice. rip
Rest in peace! 🕯️🕯️🕯️
Such sad news to hear. Rest in peace angel voice. 🙏🎶🌹
Fleetwwod Mac Rumors was first album I bought in 7th grade, thanks for the great memories Christine,God Bless you 🙏
🌹😔🌹
JoeScottUK1 💔
She was the calm one in the band RIP
FM was a part of my youth, growing up in SoCal in the 70s. What a wonderful time to be a teen. Such nostalgia now…and although we had no way of knowing it then, it came to pass that these greats were never to be replaced.
srh_medco RIP
The thing is, some deaths come as a major shock because, like their music, they never age. .
RIP
She went out trending upward with Chevrolet using 'Everywhere' in their commercials
To the members of the band, I can't imagine how it is effecting you . It's a sad day for all of music. Prayers and thoughts are w the family and all who have made the music live on.
So sad to hear this. Saw Fleetwwod Mac when they did a reunion tour a few years ago, it was magical...and when she sang Songbird there wasn't a dry eye in the house?.💔
RIP, gather with the Angels & sing, sing, sing
🔥🔥Christine McVie is Gone? 😭😭😭She’ll never be forgotten… A Talented Lady
So sad 😭
A calming yet sultry voice. So unique. And a brilliant song-writer.
Sad , she had such a beautiful voice ,an incredile talented lady, 😢😢😢
😢💔🕯🌹
😭💔🤘
Much respect to her family. So sad but I cannot wait to sing with her in the afterlife. ❤️
So sad.
RIP🕊🕊
Seems silly, but I’m grateful for the recent Chevy commercial that used “Everywhere.” Great tune, and hopefully more people got turned onto it before she passed.
dig a little deeper with the songs
Such a lovely, beautiful, talented and amazing woman and artist. R.I.P. Christine McVie🙏💙
She was a gift to the world. Safe traveling, Christine.
All of Fleetwood Mac are exceptional talents. I never tire of their music. She will be missed.
My heart is destroyed. For me personally. My favourite female songwriter - and I can’t even think of a second atm. Rest well Ms. McVie. You wrote songs that touched my soul and made me dance like no one was watching.
Sad sad sad sad sad very sad, REST IN PEACE Christine McVie.

Can't believe it. R. I. P. Christine movie 🙁
I’m so sad to hear this news.We’ve seen Fleetwood Mac in concert several times. One of our favorite groups of all time. ‘Little Lies’ will always be one of my favorites. Thank you for all the great memories. RIP Christine McVie 😢
Sad day beautiful artist ♥️♥️♥️
The best memorable songs. Part of our lives. Rest In Power. ChristineMcVie
Songbird... I wore out a cassette tape rewinding and replaying that song... ☮🕊

Rest in peace.
So so sad. Such a talent. Christine’s songs & Fleetwood Mac are songs I still enjoy. I have a lot if their albums. 😢😢🎶❤️
You will never be forgotten, songbird Chrissy. My favorite artist in my favorite band that was indeed the soundtrack of my formative Baby Boomer years. We all must come together to honor their memories. George Harrison left us 21 years ago. And the songbird keeps singing . . .
Oh wow this is so sad 😢🙏🏻💔 RIP
The ending of this article really captures Christine. What a beautiful, talented soul. RIP 🕊
Truly as sad day, God bless her beautiful soul.🙏💔🕊️
😳
May she rest easy
😢
over and over is right up there with songbird

Oh no, my heart is breaking. Rest well Christine in the arms of the angels, they must have been in need of another angel, to have called you home.
Rest in peace, Christine. Thank you for the great music you left the fans. 💖🎵🙁
So sad 😞
😢
😢😢😢😢
The days of talented singers and songwriters is in the past. Unfortunately today we have cr*p music. Will definitely miss McVie.
RIP Songbird 🕊️ So thankful I was able to see Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and the rest of Fleetwood Mac rock it out at MSG eight years ago 🙌🙌🙌 (Apologies in advance for the shaky video and my screaming)
These songs got me through some of the darkest days of my life. RIP Christine 🙏💕💔🫶

Ahh geez. This sucks.
Such a huge life, making beautiful music. I wish her family and friends peace.❤️💔

CarlaEUrenaA Songbird es una joya
mariashriver 😿🙏🏻
That sucks man. She was awesome.
She will live on through her music for eternity. Rest In Peace
Because of her petty diva behavior, Stevie Nicks killed Fleetwood Mac. And now that Christine McVie has passed, the band will never, ever get back together. Thanks a lot, Stevie Nicks!
Death is an enemy and that's partly why I'm a Christian. My website focuses on this.
😔😪😪
She made smoking weed indoors enjoyable
Wow. How did we all get so old?
I listened to FM’s songs more when Christine was the lead vocalist. Such a soothing voice. Comfort food for the ears. RIP Songbird.🎼🎹🎤
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I'm yelling at the sky in case their is a god.
“You make loving fun” is an all time classic. Christine was so talented. Tough day
Songbird
💐❤️💐❤️💐❤️💐❤️💐
RIP.
Such a. Loss ! Christine McVie a wonderful musician , song writer and human being gone. Her songs will be a reminder of her talents. May she RIP.
Miss you! beautiful
Sweet Lord. This is a terrible loss. I heard her since the 80's. She was a cornerstone in the magical creation and development of Fleetwood Mac. My deepest condolences from me from Mexico city to all her fans and above all, family.
Very sad. Such a talent. 😢❤️
RIP Song Bird.
The “Hold Me” video on MTV 💕. So sad to hear 😞
BeingBoycie Just got over the sad news of Irene Cara, and then Christine McVie leaves us as well. ‘Little Lies’ and ‘Everywhere’ were my favourite songs off Tango In The Night, and made me fall in love with Fleetwood Mac all over again. Sleep well Songbird 💔
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
TonyTodd54 What a talent a beautiful voice great songwriter great keyboardist the list goes on and on. Christine's voice is my earliest memory of hearing Fleetwood Mac Don't Stop Believing. But Songbird and little lies will always be my favorite song she sang lead on. RIP

So sorry,John.Sad news.
RIP My condolences.
🙏Rest in Peace🙏 ❤️🕊️❤️Beautiful Songbird❤️🕊️❤️
I am sitting here thinking about Fleetwood Mac. It really the soundtrack to my youth. Those women taught me how to sing out loud.. To stand up and say what needs to be said.. Stevie was who I wanted to be, but ended up being Christine. Shattered the glass they are legends
RIP Christine thanks for the memories ❤️
Such a shock to hear this news. Another legend leaves us. RIP Christine
A sad day 😢
😞
Grew up with this playing on my moms 8-track player. Timeless music! RIP🙏🙏🙏
❤️🩹
This is devastating news for all who loved her and her music 🎶 🎵 💔 😢 💔 I can't get over how much this hurts. Love you, Christine McVie💕
One of my favorites. Loved her voice and her songs.
Rest In Peace.
LaBoomer68 No.. what a lovely lady with a beautiful voice 😥
😢😢😢 FleetwoodMac was a favorite of mine in my high school years and still today, decades later. Always loved their concerts. May Christine’s memory be a blessing.
RIP Christine McVie. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Your music made our life's journeys a little sweeter.
Such a loss, she had such a beautiful voice.
I will always remember her as Christine Perfect singing ‘I would rather go blind’. Mind blowing.
😢
Her songs will always set a mood. Triggering fond memories for me. I know there is Rock-N-Roll in Heaven. So Christine will make music as long as she wishes.
Beautiful voice rip
Another desperately sad loss. RIP Christine.
That's sad. We're all getting old. RIP.
May she rest in Peace.
LeslieHeindel may her memory be a blessing
🙏🏾
How sad to hear of his passing! Another unfortunate loss to music RIPChristineMcVie
So sad RIP
So sad to hear this news. Christine McVie & Fleetwood Mac seemed to define the 1970s & 80s. The music was as sensational as some of the personal relationships surrounding band members! RIPChristineMcVie music industry legend.
May Perpetual Light Shine Upon her, always and forever
I saw Fleetwood Mac 8 times in stadium shows, in their magical years. 2 reunions in later years. Christie VcVie was the reason I kept coming back. I believe I permanently damaged my hearing Nov. 21, 1975 at the Coliseum at WVU.
In memory of Christine Mcvie
This is the first article I've seen linked that isn't behind a paywall. Thank you.
So very heartbreaking to know she has passed 💔🙏🏽.
I’ve seen Fleetwood Mac live 3 times; but only once with all 5 of the ‘rumours’ line up. I can count the times a live performance has given me goosebumps on the fingers of one hand. Christine McVie performing songbird solo was one of those times. What an incredible talent
JimLaPorta Oh noooo
What sad news. May she Rest In Peace.
RaeMargaret61
Aww, man. I loved her voice; I can't tell you how many times I've listened to 'Little Lies'. RIP Christine McVie you will be missed.
Oh no! Sad news 😞
Hey Rolling Stone - you didn't even include 'Why' from the 'Mystery To Me' album in your top 50 FM songs. Therefore, you and your little lists suck. Keep licking Stevie Nicks' perineum, maybe she'll throw you a dime bag.
Rip Songbird 🙏🏽💜😞🕊💫
Grew up on Fleetwood Mac. This is a very sad day. RIP Christine McVie
🙏
My favourite Christine Perfect (later McVie) song. RIP Christine.

😢RIP Christine
Omg 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Stevie Nicks and McVie were my idol. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
“Short illness.” Hmmm 🧐
Christine McVie, the original Songbird, has died aged 79. She was the beating heart of Fleetwood Mac and wrote many of their finest songs including Little Lies, Everywhere and Don't Stop. Simply 'Perfect'. Her crystal clear voice could melt ice. RIP, Sweet Wonderful You.
Sad news
🕯️
😔
lorcaat What a wonderful voice has been added to that great choir today! RIP Christine McVie 😢
I am sad beyond belief. An angel has gone home.
So very sad.
Was oin love with Christine 'Perfect' from her first appearance on Kiln House. Saw her with FM opening for CCR before she was officially a member. A beauty and a voice to die for...
'Sweet wonderful you!' RIP Christian McVie.
CyndyStachowiak Damn! 😭
RIP you and fleetwoodmac gave us many great times in music.
😢
One of my favourite albums.
😭
OMG. I just assumed this was another fake social media death. RIP.
Absolutely amazing talent. Given the other amazing talents she joined with in Fleetwood Mac, there’s a solid argument that she didn’t get the individual attention she so deserved. Huge loss to all of us. RIPChristieMcVie
Remember her well as Christine Perfect, opening for Johnny Winter at the Boston Tea Party in 1969. Then she showed up singing background vocals and supplying the cover art for Mac's 'Kiln House' in 1970 and it was off to the races.
WorkPsychol Oh no Rip 💔
Pure Genius 🥺
So good♥️
Sad to hear this 💔
Rest in Peace

So sad, I was a huge fan
OMG she died? OMG she was 79? It can't be. I was just 20 yrs old, listening to this new album Rumours, that just came out. RIP Ms McVie.🕊️ You can't know how much you gave us.
Respect I’m sorry hear sad news
Oh noooooooooo 😢
Her version of 'I'd rather go blind' is magical.
😭😭
😢💔 R.I.P.
😭😭😭💜
Atomic_Blondie_ I’ve liked this but there is nothing I like about this. Rumours is one of the greatest albums of all time. RIP 😢
I love their Music, especially the ones she wrote.
RIP … big fan. Her music will endure
Thankyou for the beautiful music Christine:(
Oh no. I can still hear her singing. Fleetwood Mac was my favorite band for many years and I still love their songs. May she rest well.
Gutted. Loved her ❤️
Everywhere is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song.

Rest in peace Christine McVie, you will be remembered for as long as I live and enjoy your music,
Rip songbird
So sad to here this...RIP
Christine McVie's sad passing has we old folk who're contemporaries of that stupendous sonically creative era inevitably contemplating how many more legends of our rock n roll upbringing will shuffle off before we ourselves pass from this mortal coil🙁 🎼RIP Christine McVie😔
Oh no. That's really sad☹️
Her maiden name really defined her musical talent. I was so lucky to see the 5 of them perform, it was just the most wonderful concert I’ve ever seen. 💖
Sad day for music, condolences to her friends and family
She's part of that amazing rock band in heaven now.
my favorite
Her voice has been a part of my life from my earliest musical memories. A singer and songwriter of pure perfection 💔
Great band. Great singer.
freehan11 🥺😢😭
I am so sad. Her voice was exquisite. My wife and I saw her in 2017 and it was as though she was in the recording studio her voice was so pure
I am so sad to here this. I am a big Fleetwood Mac fan. She will be missed so much. Thr group has never been complete without her. RIP
RIP Christine McVie. I still love the music.❤️
RusPugs This is heartbreaking. She was one of the greats.💔
RIP. Continue making music in heaven.

Badass motherfucker.
RIP 🤍

Her voice complemented her music like no other. You can’t have a bad day if you take the time to listen to her music.
She'll be most remembered for her hits from the Buckingham/Nicks era, but Christine McVie was contributing terrific songs to Fleetwood Mac long before that... christinemcvie fleetwoodmac RIP
A giant of a talent on her own. Mix with the rest of Fleetwood Mac, magic. I would love to see a biopic someday centered upon the making of Rumors. It's a compelling story. I read the book 'Making Rumors.' Not smooth sailing. But some of the strife led to some of the genius IMO.
😢
MY GOD HOW SAD!!!! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A LEGENDARY SINGER SONG WRITER OF FLEETWOOD MAC ❤ MAY YOU FLY HIGH TO THE HEAVEN'S....BIG FAN OF FLEETWOOD MAC
Goodbye to a true English,super talented 'Songbird'! Bye Christine & thanks.
WTF?
For Christine
She was one of my favourite singer / songwriters from one of my favourite bands. Thank you for everything, you’re a legend
Super super talented. Songbird was my wedding song. Thank you.

RIP “Songbird”
Glad that I got to see her live several times. She was the heart of Fleetwood Mac for this fan.
The very first song on my youtubemusic Beach mix. christine_mcvie had the voice of an angel, may she rest in peace.
Oh nooooo. I was lucky enough to see her 4 times between 1980 and just a few years ago, including just her and Lindsey Buckingham here in Vegas. So talented and always seemed classy compared to other stars.
Thankyou Christine for the best music of my teenage years. May you RIP 🙏🥀❤
Every member of that band was extraordinarily talented. They were effectively a 'super-group', but Christine McVie was the glue that held them together, and her death is a massive blow to the world of music. RIP.
Acurangel07 I had the wonderful experience of seeing her live when she (briefly) reunited with fleetwoodmac. She was a genius and primarily responsible for some of the greatest pop songs of the 20th century.
“You can take me to paradise” RIP
