Lesley-Ann Jones’s biography gives voice to a singer-songwriter who often avoided standing centre stage
Christine McVie described writing “Songbird”, the crystalline piano ballad that closes side one of Rumours, Fleetwood Mac’s multimillion-selling 1977 album, as something like a spiritual visitation. “I woke up in the middle of the night and the song just came into my head,” she said. Paul McCartney described a similar phenomenon when he claimed “Yesterday” arrived fully formed in a dream; David Bowie said “Life on Mars?” landed when he was on a bus.
In 1994 Nicks told Jones that Mick Fleetwood made her have four abortions because, as Jones puts it, “he couldn’t stand the thought of a billowy pregnant frontwoman”. But McVie’s reticence did not shield her completely.
