Christine McVie (née Perfect) was born in England in 1943. She wasn't a founding member of Fleetwood Mac but became a fan and often met with the band while she was touring with her group, Chicken Shack. She wound up marrying Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie and contributed to the group before joining as a member on a full-time basis after they lost founding member Peter Green.

While Christine and John ultimately divorced, she went on to have a lengthy run with Fleetwood Mac before going on hiatus from the band in 1998. She later returned to the group to perform for the first time again in 2013 and officially rejoined the band in 2014. She continued to perform throughout the last decade.

RIP to a legend, Christine McVie.
