Christine McVie, a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, died in the U.K. from a stroke November 30, 2022. She was 79.

The British-born songwriter suffered an “ischemic stroke,” commonly characterized by a blood clot obstructing blood flow in the brain.

A secondary cause was listed as “metastatic malignancy of unknown primary origin,” according to People magazine. The National Cancer Institute lists malignant metastasis as the development of a secondary site of cancer cells growing at a rapid rate, and unknown primary means “the place the cancer began is not known.”

Ms. McVie was the creative force behind some of Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits, including “Everywhere,” “Little Lies,” “Say You Love Me,” “Songbird” and “Don’t Stop.”
