Christine McVie DEAD

[GNL]

Oh man

 

[Rita]

Oh no.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh shit!

 

[jyxz]

FUCK

 

[GinAg (39)]

To think she died before the Fleetwood Mac knockout ended.

 

[jivafox]

WHAAAAAAT

 

[VoR]

Oh God. Truly one of the greats. Gutted that I never saw the classic Mac lineup live when I had the chance.

I love this video of Christine and Stevie being a drugged up mess together.

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Noooooooo

 

[VoR]

 

[octophone]

Oh, that seems out of nowhere. What a shame, RIP.

 

[straightorbroken]

Sigh.

 

[octophone]

My favourite C. McVie song.

 

[Jark]

fuck. that was not expected.

I'm so glad I saw them playing in Berlin a few summers back. she (and they all) were great.

 

[VoR]

It's got to be You Make Lovin' Fun for me. Writing a song about how much fun your young fling is and making your husband play on it is ABBA levels of cunty, but it's a banger, and they all seemed to have a sense of humour about it years later...

 

[Jark]

I wonder if Everywhere will have a big chart spike?

 

[Ill Advised]

Absolutely gutted

Was just listening to her 80s solo album just yesterday

 

[RJN]

I really like her one solo hit Got A Hold On Me

And everywhere is my second favorite Fleetwood Mac song

RIP

 

[Ill Advised]

I wonder if Everywhere will have a big chart spike?

You’d assume so? Plus Rumours, Tango, Greatest hits bounces too

 

[GinAg (39)]

Fleetwood Mac are quite popular on streaming and unless I'm mistaken their GH and/or Rumours are currently in the charts. They'll probably get a half decent bounce in the charts.

 

[Ill Advised]

Songbird should do well I’d have thought too

 

[jivafox]

This was one of my favourite solo songs of hers

 

[VoR]

Little Lies being a constant on VH1 is one of my earliest pop memories.

 

[Ill Advised]

I’ve now had four different friends messaging me, asking if I’m ok after hearing the news

I think it's probably between them and Queen for the biggest streaming act of the 70s, isn't it? And that's before you consider their 80s stuff. I think they are very much one of the heritage acts that the streaming generation have taken to their hearts.

 

[FetchFugly]

OH NO

I'm not sure I had thought about how old she was but I would have assumed younger than 79.

 

[FetchFugly]

I'm not really familiar with her solo stuff. There was a compilation released this year that I looked over but read a review that noted it skipped the 'hits' for some reason.

 

[lolly]

Songbird should do well I’d have thought too

That was my first thought. I've already semi planned that for Mr L if he goes first.

 

[lolly]

@Ill Advised , don't look at Perez's twitter until you're a little more emotionally resilient.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[Pipo]

God not her

 

[Ill Advised]

@Ill Advised , don't look at Perez's twitter until you're a little more emotionally resilient.

What have they said??

 

[lolly]

What have they said??

I didn't actually read or listen to it. Just the sight of him emoting and making it about him was enough.

 

[GNL]

 

[Ill Advised]

Oh Stevie

 

[Ellie]

Oh God, this one was unexpected

 

[Ill Advised]

I didn't actually read or listen to it. Just the sight of him emoting and making it about him was enough.

I never see anything that twat says on Twitter but thanks for the heads up

[BoysForSeles]

Awk sad news. I hadn’t realised she was 79, they were always top of my to see list of acts I’ve not yet seen live along with the Pretenders.
