Lindsey Buckingham credits Mick Fleetwood for wooing Christine McVie back into the band: “I am not aware of how much they were writing or talking about it, and I don’t know what agenda Mick may or may not have had our what he felt he was going to be able to accomplish. No matter how far we go apart in our different spheres of music, when we get together, it’s just something that, y’know, sparks fly.”
Among the standards she wrote for the band were: “Over My Head,” “World Turning (co-written with Buckingham),” “Warm Ways,” “Sugar Daddy,” “Say You Love Me,” “Don't Stop,” “Songbird,” “Oh Daddy,” “You Make Loving Fun,” “Think About Me,” “Over And Over,” “Hold Me,” “Love In Store,” “Little Lies,” and “Everywhere,” among others.Ĭhristine McVie told us that the members of Fleetwood Mac are connected by a bond that transcends time and distance: “I just think that there’s an inextricable chemistry between the five of us, which will never go away, because that just is what it is, y’know, until we’re 90 it’ll be there. McVie's songs played a crucial role in the band's blockbusters Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, and Tango In The Night. In the latter part of the '70s, she was romantically involved with legendary Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson. After the eventual departure of key members Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch - and the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks - McVie suddenly became one of the three hottest songwriters of the 1970's. McVie, along with former husband John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, steered the group through a diverse early-'70s period following the absence of the group's co-founding guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer. In 2014 McVie thrilled the rock world when she returned to the band following a 16-year hiatus. As of now, Fleetwood Mac remains on hiatus for the foreseeable future.īack in 2017, McVie and now-ousted Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham released their debut album as a duo, Lindsey Buckingham / Christine McVie, which peaked at Number 17 on the Billboard 200 and formed the basis of their first joint tour together. In 20, Fleetwood Mac - with Heartbreakers guitarist/songwriter/producer Mike Campbell stepping in to cover lead guitar duties and Crowded House frontman Neil Finn supplying rhythm guitar and vocals - played an 88-date tour taking in shows in North America, Europe, and Oceania. Happy Birthday to Fleetwood Mac songwriter-keyboardist Christine McVie, who turns 79 today (July 12th)!!! Just released is McVie's latest solo set, titled Songbird (A Solo Collection), which features guest appearances by Eric Clapton, Lindsey Buckingham, and Steve Winwood.
