Hours after news of Fleetwood Mac singer Christine McVie’s passing made headlines on Wednesday, November 30, McVie’s former bandmate Stevie Nicks took to social media, sharing a heartfelt message honoring the late artist, who she described as her “best friend.”
“A few hours ago, I was told that my best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975 had passed away,” the “Go Your Own Way” artist penned in an emotional, hand-written note shared with her 1 million Instagram followers.
“I didn’t even know she was ill … until late Saturday night,” the star continued, adding that while she “wanted to be in London” and “wanted to get to London” they “were told to wait.”
“So, since Saturday, one song has been swirling around in my head, over and over and over,” the “Edge of Seventeen” songstress continued, noting the track in question was “Hallelujah” by girl group Haim.
