Christine McVie

Christine McVie played a pivotal role in Fleetwood Mac's evolution from blues to pop in the '60s and '70s, contributing her sweet voice and melodic prowess to the band's hits like "Say You Love Me," "Don't Stop," and "Everywhere." Starting as a classical piano student, McVie transitioned to rock & roll and joined Fleetwood Mac, where she became a superstar during the Lindsey Buckingham/Stevie Nicks era. Her solo ventures, including the hit "Got a Hold On Me," showcased her musical talents outside the band. Despite intermittent breaks, McVie rejoined Fleetwood Mac in 2014, collaborating with Buckingham on a successful album and continuing to tour until her passing in 2022.

Born Christine Anne Perfect in 1943, McVie's musical journey began at a young age, leading her from classical training to playing with bands like Chicken Shack before joining Fleetwood Mac. Her personal life intertwined with her musical career, including marrying and divorcing bandmate John McVie. McVie's solo projects and intermittent breaks from Fleetwood Mac highlighted her versatility and enduring impact on the music industry. Her final compilation, Songbird (A Solo Collection), released posthumously in 2022, serves as a testament to her lasting influence as a talented musician and performer.
