On McVie’s Instagram page, Fleetwood Mac also posted a statement. It said, “No words can adequately express how sad we are to learn of Christine McVie’s passing. She was truly exceptional, special, and incredibly talented.”

The divorce of McVie and bassist John McVie, as well as that of Nicks and Buckingham, was famously detailed in the 1977 album “Rumours,” which went on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time.
