“There are no words to describe our sadness at the passing of Christine McVie. She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure,” the statement read. “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life. We were so lucky to have a life with her. Individually and together, we cherished Christine deeply and are thankful for the amazing memories we have. She will be so very missed.”

According to a statement obtained by BBC News, McVie “died peacefully at a hospital in the company of her family.”

The statement continued, “We would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally.”

McVie first joined Fleetwood Mac in the ’70s and left the band in 1998, later returning in 2014. During her time with the beloved group, she helped create songs like “Little Lies”, “Everywhere”, “Don’t Stop”, “Say You Love Me”, and “Songbird.”

McVie — who was previously married to Fleetwood Mac founding bassist John McVie — and her bandmates rose to fame as one of the most popular musical groups of the ’70s and ’80s, with a legacy carrying into modern day. With the success of their smash hit album Rumors, the band sold over 40 million copies globally, per BBC News.
