George Harrison's Rocky has a cameo in the “I Won’t Back Down” music video —
“We flew over to England to do that video, and Ringo came down to play in the video, and George brought that guitar down and he said ‘Here, you wanna play this?’ and I was like, ‘Sure!’ (laughs). It was a thrill to hold it and play it, but I don’t own that guitar. George was just like that though, he was very generous.” - Mike Campbell, mabosons, March 2008 (x)

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.
