Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie, who reunited with the group when they played at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2015, has died at the age of 79.

The band’s only festival performance of 2015 saw them reunite with keyboardist and songwriter McVie.

Today, McVie's family said: "It is with a heavy heart we are informing you of Christine's death.

"She passed away peacefully at hospital this morning, Wednesday, November 30 2022, following a short illness. She was in the company of her family."

The band famously never played Glastonbury, and it was said to be festival founder Michael Eavis's "one wish".

Isle of Wight Festival founder John Giddings secured the band and admitted he cried when he secured them.

He said at the time: "Michael Eavis asked me how I booked Fleetwood Mac. I said, I paid them!"

Despite its tumultuous history, the group became one of the most famous rock bands of the 1970s and 80s, made up of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

Co-founder Peter Green died two years ago.
