Wow! Had no idea Christine McVie was almost 80. Amazing that she kept touring until 2019.

Sad news!

Bummed to hear of Christine's passing.  I was very fortunate to see her with Fleetwood Mac on tour in the late 90's.  One of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Wow, I never saw Fleetwood Mac perform. I passed up a chance in 1977 at the Arizona Jam. But I did see Christine as a back up singer to Bob Welch in 1978 at the Cal Jam and back up singer to Stevie at the US Festival in 1983.

Would have been wicked cool to see Welch, Nicks, McVie or Fleetwood Mac back in the late 70's.  Pretty much the height of their popularity (although solo Stevie was probably a little more popular in the early to mid 80's)

Saw Fleetwood Mac without Christine. I can tell you, there was a very big hole missing in the music, you could feel and palpably hear her absence (even with back up singers and a keyboardist to replace her). May the songbird Rest In peace. She added more to the music than most people realize.

Do you remember when you saw this show (what year)?

2009 in New Plymouth NewZealand. Just think Sheep and Lord of The rings. It was still good show and all, but definitely noticed the difference.

Kirstie Alley. My favourite of hers was For Richer or Poorer with Tim Allen.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Pele was the first athlete to get a video game named after him. 
I used to play "Pele's Soccer" on Atari 2600 when I was a kid.

RIP.
