It's Official:
Christine McVie is back with Fleetwood Mac
The band's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, has confirmed to Billboard that McVie has rejoined the band after departing the group in 1998.
Rosenberg says that McVie "has indeed re-joined Fleetwood Mac and we are hoping to make an announcement about a possible tour for the full tilt Macsters some time in 2014."

Original Post:
It's no secret that something has been brewing with Christine McVie and the possibility of her return to Fleetwood Mac. If you're a fan of the band and have been following along this past year, it's clear Christine underwent some sort of transformation and a big shift in terms of mindset. She's kind of been everywhere (no pun intended) when you consider Christine's basically been out of the spotlight since 2004 after her last solo album was released and hasn't performed with Fleetwood Mac since she retired from the group, sold her piano and her house, and packed her bags and moved back to England in 1998. Except for a couple of public appearances in London over the years at one or two award ceremonies, she's been completely under the radar.

From my point of view, if the band and more specifically Christine is going to go through all this effort of putting this type of information out there to begin with to a fan base that has largely been begging for her return, and with Fleetwood Mac adding more dates this year (yet to be announced), then it's basically going to happen and everything else from here on out is just formality.
MICK FLEETWOOD - January 11, 2014
During last nights Uncle Willie K's BBQ Blues Fest on Maui at the Maui Tropical Plantation, Mick Fleetwood and Willie K. performed an acoustic version of Christine's "Songbird". Following the performance, Mick apparently let the audience, and essentially the world know, that Christine will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac! His exact phrase below, was from someone in attendance. Obviously something a little more official will eventually be provided... but this is probably the clearest sign the Rumours line-up has reformed:
"This is the worst kept secret there is,
but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac!"
but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac!"
Oh my god this is unbeliveable , just one more thing please play in Spain in 2014
ReplyDeleteThis is a monumental moment in music history, our (fans) community and history itself. Welcome back Christine.
ReplyDeleteThis is my prediction of how it will play out. (no inside info): 30-40 shows on a summer tour, back into the studio to finish an album, followed by one final world tour.
ReplyDeleteLet's not be too presumptuous about "final" tours/anythings just yet...
ReplyDeleteOh I hope there's an album soon!!!
ReplyDeleteI realize it's possible many of the "recent" interviews with Stevie may be several weeks or even a month or so old based on when she actually sat down and talked versus when the interviews were published, but perhaps Stevie's vagueness has been on purpose. She's made it very clear she doesn't really like leaks of any kind. In her mind she may feel it's inappropriate to confirm until the official press release.
ReplyDeleteLike we talked about mick, You all deserve this after all that you all have gone though. 2014 and more seems liked very exciting times in fleetwood mac world! John get well soon so you all can make more dreams together.
ReplyDeleteOHHHH, YEEEAHHH! I miss her so much!!! i would to see her with the "Fleetwood's" soon!! :3
ReplyDeletePlease, come to Mexico!! T_T'
The 5 fireflies are back!! I could cry. And when I see her do Songbird I may just!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful thing for 2014 Welcome back Christine You have been sorely missed
ReplyDeleteAnother good thing for 2014. Welcome back Christine You have been sorely missed.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back Christine!! Please come back to Orange County, CA. We love you and every member of Fleetwood Mac!! I can't wait to see this concert this year!!!!!
ReplyDeletetemporary one, to open the show in my opinon and songbird close the shows, love to here over and over,little lies, hold me,love in store, oh daddy, any others songs would you like to here.

I would love to hear, EVERYWHERE, LITTLE LIES, OVER MY HEAD, YOU MAKE LOVING FUN, SONGBIRD, HOLD ME, LOVE IN STORE, ONLY OVER YOU, MYSTIFIED, RICKY, AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW... :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is the most wonderful news. would love an album before the summer tour, if they have time. I bet they tour Australia and New Zealand in the late fall, since last year's didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteNow we all wish John McVie a speedy recovery!
Stevie and Chris are the heart and soul of FM...
ReplyDeleteChristine McVie returning,,,,,SAY IT ISN"T SO!!! PLEEZ!!!
ReplyDeleteToo Bad!! as the Stevie Nicks Lindsey Buckingham led Mac rocked..and was fresh no matter the classics... Never sounding OLD!!! Now the OLD will be overwhelming...
Yes best news ever.The way it should be
ReplyDeleteAt last Chris
ReplyDeleteSo excited for new Fleetwood Mac concerts with Christine. Hope she does Brown Eyes and Little Lies!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be more pleased to have the promised news finally confirmed. However, because FLEETWOOD MAC is now whole again and energized, there HAS to be a new album before a tour. I will be VERY unhappy if there's just an old-fart nostalgia tour and no album. I'll take a pass on that because it just means THE DANCE all over again - sixteen years later with the expected diminished capacity. No thanks. New music, please. Stevie, you need to let go of IN YOUR DREAMS and right the wrongs of TANGO IN THE NIGHT. Lindsey, you need to integrate yourself back into the group and sublimate your ego once again for the good of the band. And Christine? You need to deliver the hits and knock it out of the park, just like you always did.
ReplyDeleteThis is GREAT news!!!
Please do Little Lies!!
ReplyDeleteGreat news! But I wonder if you all are going to make up for cancelling on South Florida 24 hours before you were scheduled to play here last year?
ReplyDeleteTime to change the picture on this website!
ReplyDeletei am the member of the band
ReplyDeleteGreat news that the MAC will be touring in the summer! Saw the MAC in Pittsburgh great concert!!

ReplyDeleteMy family and I saw Fleetwood Mac on December 30th in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, and they were superb, however it just wasn't quite the same without Christine. I look forward to seeing them all together again.

ReplyDeleteLove Chis Welcome Back Hope John gets well soon
ReplyDeleteOh please oh please oh please come to new zealand.
ReplyDeleteMcVie's piano was a major part of the old FM sound, along with that great Alto voice. I'm not sure what the Band's issue was or why she left, but let's hope they worked things out. 15 years is a long time for major part to be missing from a great machine. They're all older now, and hopefully have matured and put their own personal issues aside.
