"Fleetwood Mac" singer Christine McVie, 79, has died.

The BBC reported that the legendary singer, whose voice thrilled millions, died peacefully in a hospital, citing her family.

Christine McVie, who came from a family of musicians, had married John, the band's bass guitarist, in 1968. Two years later, she also became part of the "Fleetwood Mac" family as a singer-songwriter. McVie wrote songs like " Little Lies," " Everywhere," or " Go Your Own Way."

The marriage to John McVie did not survive the wild "rock and roll" life. Christine began an affair with the band's lighting man. He inspired McVie to write the song "You Make Loving Fun." The song was released on the " Rumors " album and became one of the band's biggest hits. But in 1976, after the "Rumours" tour, not only was the concert series over but so was the McVies' marriage.

However, John and Christine continued to perform together until her father died in 1998. Then Christine left "Fleetwood Mac" to go into partial retirement - the same year the Englishwoman was inducted into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."

However, the love for music never left McVie. She released two solo albums, returned to "Fleetwood Mac" as keyboardist and vocalist in 2014, and toured with the band until her death. "We wish everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being and celebrated musician who was loved by all," the family wrote in a statement.
