Fleetwood Mac keyboards, and main songwriter, Christine McVie has passed away at 79 after a short illness.

For all of my artistic pretentiousness, liking willfully terrible music that sometimes defies the description of music, I have to say Rumours is a brilliant piece of work, and one that I’ve constantly listened to all of my adult life. It’s a great record, and she was both a brilliant musician and songwriter.

RIP - a huge talent and someone who came across as absolutely genuine, a lovely lady

Rumours is one of those rare and timeless albums from across the generation gap that I bought as presents for both of the little OFDs when they were (then) coming into teenage, it's a central plank in anyone's musical education, and one they have both gone on to love

Yup. (It may surprise some to know that I think) Rumours will live forever 'up there' in my mind with London Calling and Rocket To Russia.

It's Pete's train set, and you should all feel honoured to be granted the privilege of paying to watch him play with it.
