Lindsey Buckingham says he will miss Christine McVie, his Fleetwood Mac ‘soul mate’ and ‘sister’

A day after his former Fleetwood Mac band mate Christine McVie died at 79, Lindsey Buckingham says he will miss his “soul mate” and “musical comrade.”

“Christine McVie’s sudden passing is profoundly heartbreaking,” Buckingham wrote in a handwritten note shared on his Instagram Thursday. “Not only were she and I part of the magical family of Fleetwood Mac, to me Christine was a musical comrade, a friend, a soul mate, a sister. For over four decades, we helped each other create a beautiful body of work and a lasting legacy that continues to resonate today.”

McVie, a British vocalist and keyboardist, died Wednesday after experiencing “a short illness,” her family announced.
