Stevie Nicks insists Fleetwood Mac is over following the death of Christine McVie.
The singer, songwriter and keyboard player died at the age of 79 in 2022 following a stroke and a battle against cancer, leaving Dreams singer Nicks devastated and unable to face a return to the band.
In a new interview, she tells Mojo magazine: “Without Christine, no can do… There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way. Without her, it just couldn’t work.”
Sharing her sadness that she didn’t get to say goodbye to her friend, the Gypsy hitmaker adds: “It was all stunningly strange because there wasn’t any lead-up to it.
“We got a call, and I was going to rent a plane and go see her, but her family said, ‘Don’t come, because she may not be here tomorrow.’ And the next day, she passed away.
“I wanted to go there and sit on her bed and sing to her – which definitely would have made her pass away faster. But I needed to be with her. And I didn’t get to do that. So that was very hard for me. I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
