Very sad. And wasn’t she more sensible than her bandmates, the others seemed to be more onto excess, it’s not really fair. 

Isn’t it often the way- see Charlie Watts and Keef…

I dunno. I think she was just as radge as the rest of them.

Was lucky enough to see them on more than one occasion; first few times was without Christine McVie, and they were all the better for her rejoining.

Was having a little reminisce about seeing them at Pinkpop and found this from one of my all time best festival headliner sets.

I dunno - she was out the band for 15 or 16 years in the noughties.

But they had John McVie, Lindsey and Stevie. The former is apparently in bad health and unlikely to tour and I can’t see how it can be Fleetwood Mac without a ‘Mac’. And I can’t see Stevie staying if Lindsey comes back. But then they’ve toured with some right ropey incarnations of the band in the past

This one hurts. Wow💔

I’ve seen Fleetwood Mac play with and without Christine and it really showed how many of the greatest songs were hers which they didn’t play without her there. Terrific singer and songwriter. So sad.

A real shame.

Saw The Mac at Wembley three years ago and both her and Stevie still sounded fantastic. Didn’t realise she would have been 76 at that gig.

Same, they were amazing 

[Losing my hair]

So sad. RIP Christine.

I've said it before, go and see your heroes before it's too late

[Avalon_Fields]

Christine’s songs on Rumours were great, although my favourite album of theirs is its predecessor, the Fleetwood Mac album. 
 

I’m probably in a minority in rating Tusk as good as those two. Only saw them once, at the Manchester Arena, years ago.

Very sad news… 

[Zacko]

Damn. 

Tango in the Night absolutely shines because of her influence and songs, in particular Isn't It Midnight ❤️ 

[Nestacres]

Lucky enough to see them 5 times since 2013 in UK, three times with Christie and she was mesmerising. What a songwriter and one of the best hands I've ever had the privilege of watching live. Will be a massive loss. I never tire of Rumours or Tango in the Night.

I saw them in Ireland on that tour and was just trying to remember was she there. I’m not actually sure. RIP anyway.

What a beautiful tribute x

One headliner they'll never have.  I thought Christine was the best songwriter in Fleetwood Mac, and that's saying something!

[leath02]

Extremely sad news 

Sadder still that we’ll never see them on the farm now. The perfect match that never was

To be fair it does come across as a bit more callous than the stream of conscious it really was…

[maelzoid]

Considering the Mac have been contention as potential headliners right up until this moment, this seems shockingly sudden.

In a band that had both Buckingham and Nicks as singer songwriters, she was their equal on both fronts which is testament to her talent, even if she seemed the more temperate of the three. 

She does leave us some remarkably beautiful music. 

[guypjfreak]

Have to admit this shocked me.. Very sad.. 

[BlueJeansAndWhiteTshirts]

I feel privileged to have seen her play with FM. She was the heart of that band in my eyes. Stevie and Lindsey steal the headlines but Christine was always the class. 

[Lubic]

Very sad news. Feeling glad I managed to see the full band when they toured a few years ago - was the day after Glastonbury 2015 I believe, so treated it as my 4th headliner. Always hoped we'd get them on the farm - think they would have been the perfect Pyramid headliner.

RIP Christine
