Christine McVie was an English musician and songwriter. She was principally known as a vocalist and keyboardist with the band Fleetwood Mac.

McVie was introduced to the piano when she was four, but did not study music seriously until the age of 11. She continued her classical training until the age of 15, but shifted her musical focus to rock and roll when she discovered the music of Fats Domino and the songs of the Everly Brothers.

By the 1960’s she performed under the name Christine Perfect with the British band Chicken Shack.

Chicken Shack used to open for [Fleetwood Mac], and she remarked about that time in her life in this way:

“I got to know John (John McVie), fell in love with him and it was just sensational and exciting. Fleetwood Mac were fantastic and really funny.”

She linked up with Fleetwood Mac after marrying its bass guitarist, John McVie, at a time when the band was being led by guitarist and founder Peter Green.

The group underwent several member changes before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined in 1974, and the band shot to super stardom.

McVie wrote and/or sang several of their hits including “Don’t Stop,” “Over My Head,” “You Make Loving Fun,” and “Say You Love Me.”

Fleetwood Mac said in a statement following her death that she was "the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life."

Christine McVie will live on as she will be In Heaven with the Stars forever.
