During her 30-year career, she has given voice to the band’s most emblematic songs, such as “Go Your Own Way”, “Everywhere” and “Dreams”, the latter having recently resurfaced as a viral audio on TikTok.
McVie’s death comes just two years after the departure of one of the band’s historic founders, Peter Green, who passed away at the age of 73.
