You are the best tribute band of FM.

[@jwprimetime9795]

The first thing I thought of when I heard was you guys and when I saw you a few weeks ago in Clearwater. I cried when you guys did this song and I don’t know why. I guess I was feeling the impact of time I think. Here I go again. I told my wife when we saw you that fortunately the music will still live on thanks to you and the fans. Thank you so much for posting this now.

We will sorely miss your beautiful voice and soul. You will always be loved. By your reaction at the end of the video, we can tell, you also have a beautiful soul. It is beyond the confines of human comprehension how the guy playing the guitar was capable of keeping a straight face. I would’ve just sat there and sobbed like a 5 year old. God help us!

WOW....that really hit me. Thank you for the music and for the heartfelt tribute to an amazing songstress that the world will never forget.

[@BasementBerean]

Very nice work but very sad. I've seen Fleetwood Mac live twice, the first time during the Rumours tour in 1977, and more recently in Tacoma in 2018. But I also saw her a few feet away from a very up-front row when she toured with Lindsay Buckingham in July 2017.

[@brianpond4264]

What a beautiful take, thank you Fleetwood Mac fans need that and for you Chris such a lovely song thank you so much for everything you've done and contributed to the band fabulous songwriter you'll never be forgotten forever we love you!!

[@escott5839]

Today, music and the world lost a soulful Songbird--Christine McVie. I am deeply saddened as you all are. My sympathies to Christine's family and Fleetwood Mac. I equally extend my condolences to the band of Rumours of Fleetwood Mac. I find comfort that through Emily's voice and the way she honours Christine's songs, Christine's voice and memory remain strong. Thank you Emily!

[@bradwest4821]

I get tears. Thank you Christine. Music is one thing that brings us all together

[@stephendrown3808]

[@photoyguy3748]

I haven't listened to Songbird since hearing of Christine's passing. I knew what it would do to me. THIS is the first time, and your beautiful rendition did EXACTLY what I thought it would do. Blubbering like a baby. You're amazing and this was an unbelievably awesome tribute.

[@MeasAgun]

Stunning!!! Love from France

[@carstenmatthiasmaerz]

Thank you for the grandma and to the great artist Christine McVie. You will live on with your many songs and in the terrific group Rumors of Flettwood Mac. R.I.P. 😅

[@MrGTAVC]

Back in 87, we got cabel tv for the first time. I was 11 and MTV was very big. My first song I heard, that I can remember, of Fleetwood Mac was "Little Lies". I loved that song, voice and the video. Ever since that day I fell in love with Fleetwood Mac. This year I got from youtube a recommendation of a band name Rumours Of Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere. ❤️ So what I wanted to say is that: Thank you, Christine McVie, for discovering and loving Fleetwood Mac. And thank you, Christine McVie, for discovering and loving Rumours of Fleetwood Mac. RIP ❤️
