Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter Christine McVie has died aged 79, following a short illness.
The British singer-songwriter was behind the bands' hits including 'Little Lies', 'Everywhere', 'Don't Stop', 'Say You Love Me', and 'Songbird'.
A statement from her family said she died peacefully at a hospital on Wednesday with the family around her.
"We would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally," the statement online said.
She joined the band in 1971, but quit in 1998.
Born Christine Perfect in Lancashire, England, the vocalist-keyboardist joined Fleetwood Mac after marrying bandmember John McVie.
A few years later, the couple moved to the US, and by 1974, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band.
McVie returned to the band in 2013, when she played two dates for the first time in 15 years.
She performed hit 'Don't Stop' in London in September that year to rapturous applause. In January 2014, Mick Fleetwood revealed she would be rejoining the band.
In 2018, Neil Finn joined Fleetwood Mac, and he played with McVie when they played Auckland's Spark Arena as part of a world tour.
Fleetwood Mac posted a statement on its social media saying there were "no words to describe our sadness at the passing of Christine McVie."
"She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure.
"She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life.
"We were so lucky to have a life with her. Individually and together, we cherished Christine deeply and are thankful for the amazing memories we have.
"She will be so very missed."
