The
glue that held Fleetwood
Mac together, she wrote and sang many of their hits, such as "You Make Loving Fun", "Little Lies", and "Everywhere". Once married to bassist John McVie, Christine ended many, many concerts with "Songbird", a piece written for her ex-husband.
Whereas Lindsey Buckingham was dark and paranoid and Stevie Nicks was spacey and narcissistic, Christine McVie was poised and hopeful.
Sadly, she died in
2022. I guess you could say she really did "
break the chain", though unintentionally.
