Biography of Christine McVie
Christine’s father, Cyril Percy Absell Perfect, was a concert violinist and music lecturer at St Peter’s College of Education, Saltley, Birmingham, and taught violin at St Philip’s Grammar School, Birmingham. While her mother, Beatrice Edith Maud (Reece) Perfect, was a medium, psychic, and faith healer.
McVie was introduced to the piano by her parents when she was just four but did not study music seriously until the age of 11 when she was reintroduced to it by a local musician who was a friend of her brother John. She continued classical training until the age of 15 but shifted her musical focus to rock and roll when her brother acquired a Fats Domino songbook.
In 1968, McVie got married to John McVie with Peter Green as best man. After nine years of marriage, Christine and John McVie got divorced but still remained friends and maintained a professional partnership. During the production of Rumours, Christine had an affair with Fleetwood Mac’s lighting engineer, Curry Grant, which inspired the song “You Make Loving Fun”. However, they broke up a few months later.
