Christine McVie Dead at 79

- “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life,” Fleetwood Mac says

Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie has died “following a short illness,” her family said in a statement.

McVie died Nov. 30 in a hospital with her family nearby. She was 79.

“We would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally,” McVie’s family said.

“Gutted to learn about the passing of Christine McVie,” Garbage said in a statement. “Just gutted. Songbird forever.”

“This is so unbelievably sad,” Foghat wrote on Facebook. “RIP, Christine McVie. Such a beautiful soul.”

Born Christine Perfect, the singer/songwriter/keyboardist played first with Chicken Shack. She joined Fleetwood Mac after contributing to 1970’s Kiln House and was the band’s third-longest-serving member after Mick Fleetwood and her ex-husband John McVie.

“We cherished Christine deeply, the band said in a statement.

“She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure,” Fleetwood Mac said. “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life.”

McVie played alongside every member of Fleetwood Mac save for Peter Green and appeared on all but four of the band’s 18 studio albums.

Living Colour’s Vernon Reid eulogized McVie as his second-favorite Mac member after Green and quoted her lyrics to “You Make Loving Fun” as some of her best.

“No other voice … captured that feeling of the narcotic stage of love better than Christine McVie,” Reid said.

“What a tremendous loss to the music community,” Bret Michaels said on Twitter. “My deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Christine McVie.”

She recorded three solo albums between 1970 and 2004 and released a 2017 duo album with Lindsey Buckingham that was followed by a tour.

Her death is “terribly heartbreaking” and an “enormous loss,” Ron Sexsmith wrote on Twitter.

“She wrote my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs and I also loved her solo work,” he said.

MON 2:00PM‬ & FRI 10:30PM

This week:

Born in Memphis, singer/songwriter/guitarist, Billy Burnette spent most of his youth in the presence of father Dorsey and uncle Johnny (of the legendary Rock and Roll Trio).

The legendary trio influenced a diverse array of Rock icons including: Elvis, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rod Stewart, Aerosmith, and Ricky Nelson.

In his early 20’s, Billy wrote songs for artists like Rod Stewart, Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Tammy Wynette, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly Brothers, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Glen Campbell, and many more.

Billy joined and toured with Fleetwood Mac between 1987-1995, appearing on many of their albums. 

Today, Billy lives in Nashville and continues to write, record and perform. I hope you enjoy the story of Billy Burnette's musical journey.

Depeche Mode went on – look, this is not shocking, many groups continue after the departure of an important member, though Fleetwood Mac probably had the most intense accumulation of this. However, they did reach the point this stopped working. Listen, I assume Behind The Mask was seen for them as another great realignment in the vein of all those they did before, i.e. this time Buckingham left them after Tango In The Night, but they continued yet again. Still, something was missing. Buckingham's replacements were not bad per se, they struggled to achieve his level. They could have gone towards that, had they had more time, though the latter is always a luxury not many musicians can afford. Fleetwood Mac apparently couldn't.

Fleetwood Mac Reunites

- “It’s Time,” Mick Fleetwood says in statement

Fleetwood Mac is getting back together.

“It’s Time,” Mick Fleetwood said in a statement both temporal and literal.

The latest Mac will feature most of the lineup - drummer Fleetwood, bassist John McVie, guitarists Dave Mason and Billy Burnette and singer Bekka Bramlett - that recorded 1995’s Time LP, with Courtney Love filling the gaping hole left by the late Christine McVie.

“Live through this,” Love said in a statement.

The Time2Dance tour will begin with warm-up shows in England before hitting the state-fair circuit in the United States this summer.

“Maybe I’ll get them to open for me😂😂😂😂😂,” Stevie Nicks said in a Facebook post.
