Christine McVie Dead at 79

- “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life,” Fleetwood Mac says

Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie has died “following a short illness,” her family said in a statement.

McVie died Nov. 30 in a hospital with her family nearby. She was 79.

“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’s family said.

“Gutted to learn about the passing of Christine McVie,” Garbage said in a statement. “Just gutted. Songbird forever.”

“This is so unbelievably sad,” Foghat wrote on Facebook. “RIP, Christine McVie. Such a beautiful soul.”

Born Christine Perfect, the singer/songwriter/keyboardist played first with Chicken Shack. She joined Fleetwood Mac after contributing to 1970’s Kiln House and was the band’s third-longest-serving member after Mick Fleetwood and her ex-husband John McVie.

“We cherished Christine deeply, the band said in a statement.

“She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure,” Fleetwood Mac said. “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life.”

McVie played alongside every member of Fleetwood Mac save for Peter Green and appeared on all but four of the band’s 18 studio albums.

Living Colour’s Vernon Reid eulogized McVie as his second-favorite Mac member after Green and quoted her lyrics to “You Make Loving Fun” as some of her best.

“No other voice … captured that feeling of the narcotic stage of love better than Christine McVie,” Reid said.

“What a tremendous loss to the music community,” Bret Michaels said on Twitter. “My deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Christine McVie.”

She recorded three solo albums between 1970 and 2004 and released a 2017 duo album with Lindsey Buckingham that was followed by a tour.

Her death is “terribly heartbreaking” and an “enormous loss,” Ron Sexsmith wrote on Twitter.

“She wrote my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs and I also loved her solo work,” he said.

Spooky Tooth Co-founder, “Dream Weaver” Gary Wright Dies at 80

- Keyboardist and singer collaborated with George Harrison and Ringo Starr

Gary Wright, the Spooky Tooth co-founder who pioneered synth rock with 1975’s the Dream Weaver, has died.

Wright was 80 and had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and dementia.

Ambrosia, the band that backed Wright on his final gigs, called the musician “a big part of our hearts,” in announcing his death.

“Gary's iconic music added so much to our shows, and we always enjoyed having him with us,” the group said.

Wright was an original member of Spooky Tooth before going solo. Former Traffic (and later, Fleetwood Mac) guitarist Dave Mason said,” there’s a certain (and sure) brotherhood from those days, during that incredible era of rock ’n’ roll.”

“He leaves us all with great songs and was one of the good guys in this business,” Mason said of Wright. “I’ll miss this lifetime friend. Blessings, Dream Weaver.”

Wright collaborated with George Harrison throughout the 1970s, beginning with All Things Must Pass. His biggest solo success came with his 1975 album, the Dream Weaver, whose title track and “Love is Alive” became Wright’s best-known songs - numbers he would perform with Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band in the following century.

“Gary's vibrant personality and exceptional talent made every moment together truly enjoyable,” Stephen Bishop said. “His legacy will live on for many years to come.”

Wright released his final solo album, Connected, in 2010.

“May Gary Wright rest in peace and love,” Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.
