Wow, and that’s how I found out. A fantastic and beautiful artist. Sad to see her go, but she left us with some of the greatest music of all time. Fleetwood Mac is awesome, one of my all time favorite bands. She will be missed by many.

Indeed!... I can't imagine many people that have not heard at least a handful of thier songs. I've always had a crush on Stevie.... such a distinctive and beautiful voice.

My dad dated one of Stevie’s back up singers many years ago, back in the 80’s when she was just going solo. I got to meet her once and was without words I had such a huge crush on her. I was just a teen then.
My fav. Fleetwood Mac songs are mostly w/Christine on lead vocals,classy lady big loss

Hell ya. I've loved her voice since I was a kid. It's kinda hypnotic to me.
As these iconic artists from the 70's begin to pass,I find myself flashing back being in my parent's car as a kid hearing these songs on AM radio,oblivious to the fact that i was experiencing the Golden Age of music IMHO. What a absolutely incredible amount of talent in the singer/songwriter,rock,hard rock genre from the late60's to mid 70's period of time,unmatched and never to be repeated. No disrespect to current musicians but I don't think that the vibe that existed in that era can ever be repeated.

Agree...sadly, it's gonna keep happening. We're all gonna die, and the older you get, the faster time slips away.

A lot of what you're saying strikes a chord with me.
I was only a kid when all that great music was around but I heard my brothers, mum & dad playing older stuff, when i got older and started getting into music more seriously the likes of Supetramp, Fleetwood Mac and Elo i could remember from childhood.
I hear you bro,waxing nostalgic is something that I try to avoid because I feel it sounds like I'm a grump yearning for the "good old days",something I resolved myself to avoid when I was young,but the passing of these voices of my childhood is sobering indeed, besides the quality of the songwriting,the harmonies,and musicianship of that era are undeniable.

I like them both.. it’s what made them Fleetwood Mac. Wished I would have got to see them live. I looked up Stevie tickets yesterday… front floor tickets were about $1800.00!

I saw them when I was 13 years old and still in Middle School for their Rumors tour. I went with my best friend and his older sister and boyfriend that were older and could drive. I think the tickets cost around $7 at the time. General admission no reserved seating. People used to line up for concerts and it was a mad dash for the best seats back then. We smoked bowls of Columbian before the show and I was so stoned that I almost passed out. Good times.
The Rumours tour was a concert tour by Fleetwood Mac, after the release of the band's eleventh album with the same title in February 1977. Due to the album's success Fleetwood Mac embarked on a world tour taking in North America, Europe, their native UK, Japan and Oceania.
