According to a family’s statement, McVie died peacefully in the presence of her family at a hospital.

"We would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of a great human being, and revered musician who was adored internationally," the statement read.

Who is Christine McVie?

McVie, who was born Christine Perfect, married Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie and joined the band in the early 1970s.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Fleetwood Mac rose to prominence as one of the world's most well-known rock bands.

Rumors, inspired by the divorces of the McVies and the band's other coupling, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, became one of the best-selling albums of all time, selling more than 40 million copies worldwide.

In 1998, McVie was one of eight members of the band to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Christine McVie was like Stevie’s wise older sister, the sweetly grounded balance to her ethereal astral projections.

she wrote so many brilliant songs, but will likely be best remembered for “Songbird,” which often closed out Fleetwood Mac shows.

In the same year, following the success of their live album The Dance, she retired to Kent, citing a dislike of traveling as the reason for her departure from the band.

She rediscovered her love of performing after a one-time appearance with the group at London's O2 arena in 2013, and returned to them a year later.

In short, Christine McVie was a vital member of the intricate cast of people that comprised one of the greatest bands of all time.
