Sad to hear! I was never a big fan of the band. I loved Buckingham’s guitar style, but the monotone singer (what’s her name?) made listening impossible. I went to a Zappa concert, and they were the opening band. They were awful! Everyone split to the lobby whilst they played.
Stevie Nicks
Stevie Nicks — monotone, and sings through her nose to the extent that she sounds like a kazoo. Awful, awful singer.
The pre-Buckinham/Nicks FM had its ups and downs (three lead guitarists, each of whom went off the rails one by one) but their “Bare Trees” album is somewhere in my top 500 (other than that “Mrs. Scarrot” bs track, I skip that).

Monotone is the least of her problems. You can't understand a word she sings. I remember way back when Creedence Clearwater came out with Willie and the Poor Boys. A panel on late night TV was discussing it when one of the panelists said, he (Fogerty) sounds like he went to the Stevie Nicks School of Diction.
Not Christine McVie. Probably the other one. Never liked her much.
