Stevie Nicks, the iconic singer of Fleetwood Mac, has shared some heartbreaking news with fans. She has confirmed that the band will never tour again, and she has clarified the reason behind this decision: the loss of her dear friend and bandmate, Christine McVie.
In its prime, Fleetwood Mac consisted of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham. Over the years, the band experienced many changes in its lineup, but Stevie, now 76 years old, believes that Christine was an essential part of the group's dynamic. Without her, she cannot imagine performing as Fleetwood Mac again.
Christine passed away in 2022 at the age of 79, after suffering a stroke and a cancer diagnosis. This news devastated Stevie, who considered Christine not just a bandmate, but also a close friend. In a recent interview with Mojo magazine, Stevie stated that there is no chance of a Fleetwood Mac reunion without Christine. She explained, "Without her, it just couldn't work."
Christine joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970, after her husband, John McVie, became a member. Stevie and Christine remained close friends until Christine's passing. Stevie shared how heartbroken she was that she didn't get a chance to say a final goodbye to her friend. She expressed, "It was all stunningly strange because there wasn't any lead-up to it." She had planned to visit Christine in the hospital, but her family advised against it, and Christine passed away the next day.
Stevie also revealed her desire to sing with Christine one last time, saying, "I wanted to go there and sit on her bed and sing to her - which definitely would have made her pass away faster. But I needed to be with her. And I didn't get to do that. So that was very hard for me. I didn't get to say goodbye."
Christine was present for all of the band's most iconic moments, including their performances at Madison Square Garden. Her family confirmed her death in 2022 with a statement that read, "It is with a heavy heart we are informing you of Christine's death. She passed away peacefully at the hospital this morning, surrounded by her family." The family also asked for privacy during this difficult time.
In a devastating tribute, Fleetwood Mac's remaining members expressed their sadness over Christine's passing. They described her as "truly one-of-a-kind, special, and talented beyond measure" and said they were lucky to have shared a life with her. Stevie also posted her own tribute on Instagram, where she shared that Christine was her best friend since 1975. She wrote, "I didn't even know she was ill...until late Saturday night. I wanted to be in London, I wanted to get to London - but we were told to wait."
Stevie also revealed that one song had been playing in her mind since she heard the news of Christine's passing. She had hoped to sing it to her, but now she sings it in her memory. She ended her post with a touching message, "See you on the other side, my love. Don't forget me. Always, Stevie."
The loss of Christine McVie has left a deep void in the hearts of her loved ones, friends, and fans. Her incredible talent and kind spirit will always be remembered and cherished. Rest in peace, Christine.
