      @@spanishpeaches2930 oh I don't know pal, everyone on earth that isn't a Fleetwood Mac fan? Your average music consuming 20 year old? Christine, rightly or wrongly (the answer is wrongly) spent much of her career In the shadow of Stevie. That this needs explaining to you tells me everything I need to know about your critical thinking skills. But carry on lashing out at strangers on the Internet if it makes you feel important. Have a nice day you absolute 🤡

    I knew Chris when she was in Chicken Shack and I was playing in another local band in the Black Country. We all knew each other. I remember we all shared the same old Transit van to a gig once. She was the nicest person you could ever wish to meet. Rest easy Christine.

    You all clearly don't know what Christine has gone through during her 18 years of retirement. She became a recluse, had fear of flying and had to seek a therapist to get over her fears. She's still getting used to being back in the music scene, she did not sing or play the piano at all for years, give her a fucking break. Yes, she was pitchy and seemed nervous on the piano. So what?!! She's allowed! She's 73 years old and she's putting herself out there, she's a legend! I hope she keeps doing performances like this.

      Thanks for saying pretty much what i was going to say but you beat me to it.
      To all those knocking this women who by the fucking way is 73.
      She has been for the last 20 years ill.
      She went away for a reason and of course her voice isnt going to be as it was.
      Her age and christine hasnt done no were near as much singing as she would have done over those 20 years as she would have done if she had toured constantly.
      The singing voice has to be constantly used for it to be as good as it can be.
      Personally all you who slate this women go fuck yourselves.

    Ye gods, I'm so saddened to know that she is no longer with us. She softened the pain of boarding school life during the 70s. I would dream she was singing her songs to me and only me. I've had a crush on Christine McVie all my life since then and so news of her death has come like a hammer blow. I loved her intelligence, her huge musical talent and her good grace, humility and quiet authority. What a superstar she was and always will be. God speed you well, gorgeous Christine. If there's a life after this, you will surely be there. R xxx

    12 years ago , i sat on my back door step at 4 am . A few weeks after my wife left , i lost my kids , that whole breakup was destroying me ,
    I played my ipod on shuffle , sat on my back porch with the headphones on .. (this song played ) and i could hear all the birds around me singing so loudly in their morning chorus ..
    ive never cried so much in my life …
    Sometimes you just need to let it out , for then to recover …it was an absolute moment of heartache and reassurance that i will be ok , x
