McVie guests with Mac in London


Christine McVie guested with Fleetwood Mac at London’s O2 Arena last night for the first time since retiring in 1998.

Fellow former member Peter Green was in the audience as she rejoined for a rendition of classic track Don’t Stop at the end of the band’s second encore.

Fans hadn’t been certain which of Mac’s UK shows McVie was planning to take part in, although Stevie Nicks had confirmed she would appear at two of the five.

Drummer Mick Fleetwood couldn’t hold his emotions back and threw both arms in the air, whooping with joy, as the ex-member appeared on stage to an equally energetic audience response. But McVie herself showed a little more decorum as the waved her thanks for the welcome, hugged Nicks then moved to her keyboard to lead the track.

Following the performance she shared a brief conversation with Nicks before the band lined up to take a bow. They returned for a second encore without McVie, who’s expected to appear at the second London shows tomorrow. Mac also place Birmingham LG Arena (Sep 29), Manchester Arena (Oct 1) and Glasgow Hydro (Oct 3).

Earlier in the set Nicks dedicated the track Landslide to Green.
