From Mick’s insta:

This is what I presented on Monday. January 9. 2023 at the Clebration of Life for Christine McVie in Malibu. CA were the band members with theirlour personal family and estended family of Fleetwood Mac gathered. It was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman and an incredible talent.

I wrote this for Chris right after she passed away..

For Chris.

This is a day where me dear. sweet friend Christine McVie has taken flight.
And left us Earthbound folks to listen with bated breath to the sounds of that "song bird..
Reminding one and all that love is all around us to reach for and touch in this precious life that is gifted to us.
Part of my heart has flown away today...
I will miss everything about you
Christine McVie
Memories abound.. they fly to me.

Thank you for coming today as we celebrate the incredible life of our sweet Christine.

So, when we first learned that we might be losing Christine, there was an immediate coming together of everyone in the band and the Fleetwood Mac family with the hope and possibility that we would not lose Chris.

And NOW since the loss of Christine, we all are still trying to come to terms with the fact she has really flown away.

In THIS moment in time, we celebrate her life, all together here today to help with our healing.

I've been blessed to be a part of a family that created a safe place for Chris and the band's music to unfold. I am extremely honored for her to have been in my family's life for over 55 years. Amy. Luey. Ruby and Tessa, my four beautiful daughters and extended family grew up sharing life with Christine. We all love and miss her so much already.

The other day when John and I were sitting together and not knowing how to come to terms with the Loss of Christine, I blundered into a powerful word.. I said. "John. It's the Enormity of it all!”

The enormity of our loss, the enormity of her passion, the enormity of her talents and her unshakable sense of grace in the way she handled life’s challenges.

I think she would have been truly amazed at all the attention and celebrations of her music around the world and in total disbelief at the fact they were closing down sporting events to pay tribute to her.

But that was our Christine—she was a North country girl from beginning to end never caring about the fluff. Again, it was our Christine who gifted so much to millions around the world.

She is being remembered Everywhere. Just as her song says. "I want to be with you everywhere," and she is.

It's with a sense of gratitude and thanks to The Fleetwood Mac Family that we are part of... and losing of such a magical component: has sparked a celebration of what Christine means to us. We all miss her as a family member, as a friend: an artist, a performer and God knows a writer of excellence. And those years sharing life together will always be remembered.

I have a poem I want to end with. It is an ancient Sanskrit Poem I have next to my bed that was given to me by my mother, Biddy.

“Look well to this day.
For it is life.
The very best of life.
In its brief course lie all the
Realities and truths of existence
The joy of growth
The splendor of action
The glory of power
For yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today, if well lived, makes
Every yesterday a memory
Of happiness.
And every tomorrow
A vision of hope
Look well therefore to this day”

Eternal love for Christine and gratitude.

Mick Fleetwood

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

Very touching. I can imagine Chris really is like family to Mick and John. To think they were on the road since the late 60s together. Most times Chris being the only woman on the road with a bunch of crazy drunk guys. In that 1987 interview that was posted Chris says again that everyone told her she was the most down to earth member of the band. The bigger star she became never changed her. She was so loyal to Mick and Fleetwood Mac. The only time she said no to Mick was for her own well being and needed to retire after the Dance. When Chris needed support to conquer her fear of flying, she called Mick. Mick did not lose a band member, he truly lost a sister and friend.
