Such a beautiful, unique voice.  RIP.

Horrible news. Songbird is just the most beautiful song ever, and she had so many other great ones. Saw FMac in the Aud in 1980 on the Tusk tour, tremendous show. RIP.

RIP, and thanks for the great music.

This stinks.   My Mom is a huge Fleetwood fan, can remember her going to see them in 1997 at the Keybank Center.

 

Became a fan myself as I got a bit older.   Thank you for the music and RIP.

She had the voice of an angel and was a very underrated songwriter as well.

 

Rest in peace.

You know who I didn't realize was 85. Dustin Hoffman.  He's getting up there!

Age 79 seems younger than it used to.

Grew up with Fleetwood Mac playing in the house and in the car (8 track!). Always loved the music. Watching Christine McVie sing Songbird always gives chills - phenomenally beautiful song and voice.

Thank you. I never appreciated that as much as I did just now.

 

Why is it we appreciate artists so much more after they are gone? It is equally beautiful while they are with us. 

 

I get that with painters, sculptors, etc it becomes a “no more supply” thing, but still.

I saw Fleetwood Mac at Rich stadium during one of their stadium tours 7-28-78 I googled the date. The thing that struck me seeing her is just how thick a British accent she had when she spoke.

 

RIP dearie. 

 

 

Quote

 

When Christine’s effortless gift for melody met the gauzy, golden soft-rock production of Fleetwood Mac’s classic era, the results were pure pop heaven. She ushered in the Buckingham/Nicks years in ’75 with this luxuriously midtempo bubble bath of a song, all about — what else? — a love affair that makes you feel either really, really good or actively horrendous. “I’m over my head,” she sang, voice warm enough to banish any doubts. “But it sure feels nice.” — S.V.L.
