Christine interview 1987

[Chris_Lover]

Chris was always like a warrior: strong, loyal but sensible at the same time. She was always in charge for the sake of the group, but I think she was "sacrificing" herself. She had to endure all the internal conflicts into FM and in her life, but in 1998 she couldn't stand it any longer and, as Stevie said in this interview, after the Grammy Awards she started to cry because [I]"she simply couldn't go on any more" because she was having panic attacks before gigs and was developing a fear of flying, but she kept everything bottled up inside. Just like a warrior: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ires-them.html

'When you love someone as much as I love Christine, you know instantly when they are serious. Her big green eyes filled with tears as she spoke, and I started welling up, too. I told her she needed to go home immediately, and she did. She flew home to England and she hasn't been back to the States since.

This is the meaning of friendship, and Stevie know it very well.
Even if we miss her, I'm sure all of us prefer knowing that she's happy now in England in her peaceful home, rather than not seeing her smile again during concerts, knowing that she's frightened and blue. It could be REALLY dangerous for her health.
