Christine McVie was an English musician, singer and songwriter born Christine Anne Perfect on July 12, 1943 in Bouth, Lancashire, England. She was born into a musical home hence by the time she was four, she had already started taking piano lessons.

However, the little McVie didn’t take it serious until she was 11 after a friend of her brother introduced her to it.

Her father, Cyril Percy Absell Perfect was a music lecturer at St. Peter’s College of Education, Saltley and also taught violin at St. Philip’s Grammar School, Birmingham. Her mother, Beatrice Edith Maud on the other hand was a faith healer and a psychic.

McVie’s initial dream was to become an art teacher hence attended Moseley School of Art in Birmingham where she studied sculpture. However, she began to shift focus while in Moseley as she met the likes of Spencer Davis, Andy Silvester, Stan Webb, etc.

Throughout her career, McVie was more of a band member than a solo artist. She is well known for her time with Fleetwood Mac in particular where she wrote a number of their songs as they released about 14 albums together.

Albums released with Fleetwood Mac include The Dance (1997), Time (1995), Behind the Mask (1990), Tango in the Night (1987), Rumours (1977), Fleetwood Mac (1975), Mirage (1982) etc. 

She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 together with members of Fleetwood Mac. That same year, she was awarded by Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to music.

Away from Fleetwood Mac, McVie’s solo career wasn’t bad either. She released four studio albums as a solo artist and several other singles.

Despite being married twice, McVie had no children and was single at the time she died.

John was also involved in music right from his childhood and played a key role in Christine McVie’s musical career. He was actually the one who more or less influenced McVie to switch to rock and roll in 1958 thereabouts.

It all started when John bought a Fats Domino songbook and she immediately fell in love with it.
