Christine Anne Perfect (born 12 July 1943), professionally known as Christine McVie after her marriage to John McVie, is a British singer, keyboardist and songwriter. Her greatest fame came as the keyboardist and one of the lead vocalists of rock band Fleetwood Mac, which she joined in 1970, while married to bassist McVie. She has also released three solo albums. McVie is noted for her smoky, low alto vocal performances and her direct but poignant lyrics about the joys and pitfalls of love. AllMusic further describes her as an "Unabashedly easy-on-the-ears singer/songwriter, and the prime mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits." Eight of her songs appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1988 Greatest Hits album: "Don't Stop", "Little Lies", "Hold Me", "Everywhere", "As Long as You Follow", "Over My Head", "Say You Love Me" and "You Make Loving Fun". McVie's "Songbird" has been covered by multiple artists.
In 1998, as a member of Fleetwood Mac, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. The same year, after almost three decades with the band, she then opted to leave and lived in semi-retirement for the next few years (releasing only one solo album in 2004). McVie appeared on stage with Fleetwood Mac at London's O2 Arena in September 2013, and rejoined the band officially in January 2014. Her first full shows since her return came during Fleetwood Mac's On with the Show tour in October 2014. In 2014 she received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement.
