Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac - the original songbird. Another great one gone to the great gig in the sky. RIP.

RIP CM

Christine McVie wrote some good songs, and she had a very recognisable sound - unusual in a band if you think about it (or maybe not - ABBA, Eagles, hmmm) - two vocalists with unique and distinctive voices. R.I.P. Sad to see so many old favourites departing!
