Christine McVie Facts

She was brought up in the Bearwood area of Smethwick on the outskirts of Birmingham city.

Christine inherited her musical genes from her father who taught music at St Peter’s College of Education and the violin at St Philip’s Grammar School.

Her mother was a medium, psychic, and faith healer.

She was 4 years old when her parents wanted her to learn to play the piano. However, Christine did not show much interest until she was 11 years old. She continued to show an interest in her classical music until she 15 years old.

It was a friend of her older brother John named, Philip Fisher who got her interested in playing the piano once again.

Her focus shifted from classical music to rock and roll after she had come across a songbook of pianist and singer Fats Domino that was brought home by her brother.

She had credited The Everly Brothers as an early influence.

Initially, she had wanted to become a teacher and pursued a 5-year study in sculpture.

The first band that she joined was Sounds Of Blue with guitarist Stan Webb and bassist Andy Silvester. However, the group split a while after, leaving Christine to fend for herself. This led her to move to London after which, she worked as a department store window dresser.

As of February 2020, she had released 3 solo albums, In the Meantime (2004), Christine McVie (1984), and Christine Perfect (1970).
