And then we die. That’s one morbid possibility man begins to contend with after birth. For celebrated singer and songwriter Christine McVie, death came calling yesterday, Wednesday, November 30, at the age of 79.
Her family confirmed her death in a post on her verified Instagram channel, noting that she died peacefully on Wednesday after a brief illness. The illness was not specified in the statement. She was in the company of her family at the time of her death.
The family asked for privacy as it navigates this “extremely painful time,” while also asking members of the public to keep the singer in their hearts and remember her for the incredible human and musician that she was.
Fleetwood Mac, a rock band with which she was associated, also released a statement expressing its sadness at her passing. The collective described her as talented and truly one of a kind. The group said it was lucky to have had a relationship with her, describing her as the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life.
Christine McVie stood out for many songs, including “Go On Your Way,” “Everywhere,” “The Chain,” and “Dreams.”
