Stevie Nicks Reflects on 'Empty' Feelings Two Years After Christine McVie's Death

Stevie Nicks expresses deep sorrow over Christine McVie’s passing. "Chris was my first best friend that I lost," Nicks shared in an exclusive email interview, PEOPLE reported. "She loved me for who I was, and I loved her for who she was." This lasting bond extended beyond their time in Fleetwood Mac, forming a unique friendship. Nicks laments, "We can't replace Chris," indicating that the absence of McVie fundamentally alters the band's dynamic.

McVie passed away on November 30, 2022, at the age of 79, due to complications from a stroke and metastasized breast cancer. Her loss has left a profound impact on Nicks. "So not having that person... it means I won’t experience the friendship we shared," she revealed. This emptiness deeply saddens Nicks, reflecting on McVie as "a constant friend" throughout their lives.

"She was my big sister; she was five years older than me," Nicks noted, emphasizing McVie’s laughter and warmth. "It’s a significant loss for me – a big empty hole." Despite the grief, Nicks treasures their strong, vivid experiences together. "You’ll never forget her," she affirmed, underlining the enduring impact of their friendship.

This year has been busy for Nicks, with tours across North America and a recent release of her pro-choice anthem, "The Lighthouse." However, she has ruled out future Fleetwood Mac reunions without McVie. "Without Christine, no can do," she said in a June interview with MOJO. "There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way." The sentiment reflects the extraordinary bond shared among the band members, particularly Nicks and McVie.
