The day after Fleetwood Mac vocalist and songwriter Christine McVie died in London after a brief illness, the band’s former lead guitarist Lindsey Buckingham penned a note remembering her as “a musical comrade, a friend, a soul mate, a sister.”
“Christine McVie’s sudden passing is profoundly heartbreaking. Not only were she and I part of the magical family of Fleetwood Mac, to me Christine was a musical comrade, a friend, a soul mate, a sister. For over four decades, we helped each other create a beautiful body of work and a lasting legacy that continues to resonate today. I feel very lucky to have known her.
