So sad to hear of the sudden death of Christine McVie. I respect and understand her family needing their privacy at this difficult time but all in all Christie’s devoted fans want to know what could have taken her life so suddenly. She was so Vibrant, Energetic and Fun not to mention a good singer, songwriter and Keyboardest. She was always my favourite of Fleetwood Mac. To be admitted into the Hospital and then just suddenly die the following day just doesn’t add up. Something was wrong with her health and I don’t think it was just her back pain.. I’am hoping in time that her family will come out with the real source of Christine’s death. She didn’t deserve to die this way. Her Fans want to know and won’t be able to find peace until then. I only hope that she didn’t die of Covid or something much more serious because in this day and age there is usually a cure for just about everything…. and 79 is not considered OLD anymore.
Thankyou, Christine for all the Great Music and Memories that you have given us. You will Never be forgotten!
