Keith Urban honoured Fleetwood Mac's founding member Christine McVie on his recent Aussie show.
Christine McVie passed away on November 30 following a short illness.
“Today, we lost one of the members of Fleetwood Mac, the incredible Christine McVie, who was amazing,” Keith told the crowd.
“For me growing up, listening to their music, you had three incredible vocalists in that band. You had Lindsey Buckingham, who brought this kind of punk, angular, ethos to the whole thing. You had Stevie Nicks’ voice, which is angelic, and otherworldly.
"Then you had Christine, who for me, is the maternal, soulful heartbeat, vocally.”
With a picture of Christine on the big screen behind him, he started off with Fleetwood Mac's Say You Love Me, then followed by Everywhere.
The crowd sang along to Keith as he sang Everywhere.
He then ended his tribute with Christine McVie's Songbird.
Christine McVie was Fleetwood Mac's co-lead vocalist and keyboardist.
Fleetwood Mac paid tribute to McVie with a statement of their own, shared on social media.
They wrote:
"There are no words to describe our sadness at the passing of Christine McVie. 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 are 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."
Christine left Fleetwood Mac in 1998, after 28 years of being in the band, and made a return in 2014.
The British singer-songwriter was behind hits including Little Lies, Everywhere, Don't Stop, Say You Love Me, and Songbird.
