Fleetwood Mac legend’s eye-watering fortune revealed
Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie left behind a $135 million fortune, probate documents revealed.
The singer and keyboardist passed away aged 79 in November last year following a short illness. McVie, who was living in London at the time, had suffered a stroke and had cancer.
A year before her death, she secured a massive deal and sold the rights to her entire back catalogue of 115 songs.
McVie played in several bands before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1970, just two years after she married the band’s bassist John McVie.
She left the band in 1998 and returned to tour in 2014.
Following her death, her former bandmates Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks said: “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.”
In February this year, Fleetwood admitted that the band was most likely “done” for good following McVie’s death.
"I think right now, I truly think the line in the sand has been drawn with the loss of Chris," he told the Los Angeles Times.
"I'd say we're done, but then we've all said that before. It's sort of unthinkable right now."
