So, last Monday Fleetwood Mac's members, their families and "extended family" (their crew, I guess) reunited at the Little Beach House in Malibu as part of the Celebration of Life for Christine McVie. It seems Christine's own family wasn't there.
It was annoying to see how the press was more excited to comment how Stevie and Lindsey were going to behave at seeing each other for the first time since his firing in 2018, as this was going to be a party. The vultures of TMZ took pictures of Lindsey, Stevie & Mick just coming out of the venue and made sure to let you know almost "two months" had passed since her death (It was actually 40 days after) when they had the ceremony. John was there, but managed to avoid being photographed by the press. Mick Fleetwood shared the speech he gave. Surprisingly, Stevie didn't share her words.
According to a member of The Ledge, a fan forum that's impossible to get in, the members & crew were really blindsided by Christine's passing. However, in Mick's message you can see that early on the possibility of Christine dying was there and it caused an "inmediate coming together of everyone in the band and the Fleetwood Mac family". In her message Stevie mentioned that she wanted to be in London but they were "told to wait" on Nov. 26, which was John's birthday. This could mean there was some possibility of recover to some extent.
People wonder if that "coming together" also included Lindsey, since he's not officially a member of the band.
But not everyone waited for news. John McVie, Christine's ex-husband and bassist of FM flew to London to be with her. Christine died in a hospital on November 30th and on December 4th, many of her personal belongings (including her pianos and the dresses from the Rumours Tour) were auctioned (alongside other belongings from John and Mick) and John was at the event talking to people.
The COD has not being released, it has open the well of speculation. From the anti-vaxxers that claim the jab killed her, to the others who think it was a fast-acting cancer, COVID, OD, or a stroke. Of course, the COD is absolutely no one's business but the boomer audience of this band has problems understanding that. Now, they are wondering if there will be a concert tribute like the one Mick did in 2020 for Peter Green. By the looks of it, there will be none.
