Carrie Bradshaw dressed for herself, not men, and gave us licence to follow suit
Overdocumented as they might be now, the Nineties were a strange and lonely decade to be a fashion-lover. Fashion was a niche interest, like bone or stamp collecting. All information was strictly channelled through the pages of monthly magazines such as Vogue, Elle, The Face or i-D, bar the occasional style page in a newspaper. Interviewed for my first job as fashion editor of a national broadsheet, the editor asked, 'So, do you like clothes?' One wonders whether he asked the sport editor whether he liked football. It's hard to remember a time when people didn't post videos of their weird shoes, designer hauls, salacious handbag unboxings, bargain charity shop finds and #OOTDs on social media. In 2025, having a unique sense of style can make you rich and famous. In 1995, it was more likely to have you bullied or ostracised. Into this barren wasteland in 1998 tripped Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda, four New York women who loved sex, shopping, cocktails and men, though never as much as they loved each other. Based on a newspaper column of the same name by Candace Bushnell (published in the New York Observer between 1994 and 1996), Sex and the City (SATC) revolutionised fashion: how it was perceived, how it was documented and how it was consumed. It legitimised fashion – not because naysayers suddenly realised the allure of a Fendi Baguette bag, but because the show's popularity proved that clothes, shoes and accessories had mainstream appeal, and deserved to be given space beyond the pages of a glossy magazine. You might think that the vast exposure inherent to being featured on a TV show would be catnip to fashion designers, whose only recourse to publicity was via print and billboard advertising, magazine editorial or catwalk shows. Not so. Rather than seeing it as an opportunity, many designers were reluctant to place their brand in an environment where they would be unable to control the narrative. 'It was difficult to borrow clothes, as everyone heard the name 'Sex And The City' and thought 'what is this?'' remembers costume designer Molly Rogers. 'I guess it sounded pretty racy. No one loaned to TV shows then, as I remember – that world was strictly for editorial.' She cites Chanel, Dior and Christian Lacroix as early supporters of the show. Rogers worked on SATC from 1998 to 2002, and served as costume designer on the 2008 and 2010 films, as well as all three seasons of And Just Like That, the divisive sequel. She witnessed first hand the genius of Patricia Field, the show's formidable New York stylist and costume designer whose eclectic, exuberant tastes ensured that Carrie would never fall into the dreary trap of wearing 'quiet luxury'. Without Field, there would be no oversized floral corsages, diamanté skull caps or ballgowns as daywear. Nor would there be what many consider to be Carrie's most iconic look, a tiered white tutu teamed with a pale pink vest top and strappy sandals, as immortalised in the show's opening sequence. Field later revealed that she'd sourced the tutu from a thrift store bargain bin and bought it for $5 – a common practice for stylists and costume designers today, but an unusual one in 1998, an era when luxury brands would pull their advertising if a glossy magazine had the temerity to feature their expensive wares next to items that might threaten to devalue them. Field's 'high-low' approach of mixing designer and vintage together was hugely influential, although it wasn't until the beginning of season three that designers wanted in on the action. 'The show exploded then,' Field said in an interview, adding that costume design 'isn't about selling clothes, it's about telling a story. That's something I learned along the way.' Now 84, Field is still telling stories through clothes, most recently as the costume designer for Emily in Paris (Netflix), the fifth season of which is due to air later this year. Before Sex and the City, the idea of 'fashion' as a main character in any TV show was virtually unheard of. While clothes had an important role in shows such as Dynasty, Friends or Beverly Hills 90210, they existed as costume, and were rarely, if ever, discussed by the characters themselves. They certainly weren't an integral part of the plot: characters didn't utter pithy lines like 'I like my money right where I can see it – hanging in my closet.' SATC made fashion a fundamental part of each character's identity – literally, in the case of Sarah Jessica Parker's 'Carrie' necklace. Here were four women with very different aspirations: Carrie a hopeless romantic, Miranda a driven career woman, Charlotte keen to settle down and Samantha happy to play the field. Their wardrobes were a visual shorthand for their aspirations. From the beginning, the clothes were given as much consideration as the acting and the script. 'At the very start [of filming], Pat [Field] had an extensive conversation with [producer and writer] Darren Starr, where he gave her so much background information on each of the actresses that it really aided in building their costume DNA,' remembers Rogers. 'Charlotte was 'Upper East Side', Miranda was 'corporate', Carrie was 'eclectic and downtown' and Samantha spoke for gay men. Pat always said three things: that SATC was a moving fashion magazine, that we aren't making a documentary therefore I don't care where she gets these clothes, and finally, that we should never repeat an outfit – they don't repeat scripts.' This idea of SATC as 'a moving fashion magazine' is spot-on. Like many viewers, I might not always have loved the wilder reaches of Carrie's style, but I loved what she stood for. Thanks to a writing and production team powered largely by women and gay men – co-creator and writer Michael Patrick King, producer and writer Darren Star, with Parker co-producing from 1999 onwards – viewers were served a heroine who wasn't traditionally beautiful (straight men almost universally seem to think SJP is unattractive, and probably wouldn't have cast her in a lead role), who unabashedly loved clothes, smoked cigarettes, enjoyed sex and had an enviable career as a writer. Who said women couldn't have it all? Well, heterosexual men, for a start. 'I despised Candace Bushnell's vile cultural monster as a book and as a TV series,' one male critic opined in 2008. 'They represented a vacuous, trivialising, anti-feminist act of self-sabotage on the part of women. What amazed me was that women, even quite smart women, seized on this frivolous, vain confection as an emblem of sisterhood and empowerment.' It shouldn't need saying that women can be clever and stylish, or debate geopolitics with the same expertise that they discuss Phoebe Philo's latest drop. Yet there still exist people who seek to diminish anyone whose interests they deem less serious or worthy than their own. Rather than being a 'vain confection', it was a joy to see Carrie – and in a different way, Samantha – dress for themselves, seemingly unconcerned with any other gaze than the one that greeted them in the mirror. 'Carrie made me bolder,' says Alison Cragg, a 50-something fan who works in HR. 'I remember having a boyfriend in the early 2000s who had a habit of laughing at some of the wilder clothes I wore. I've still got most of the clothes, but I don't have the boyfriend.' In the absence of a fulfilling relationship, a good pair of shoes is a decent consolation prize. Most fans would agree that friendship, not fashion, was the beating heart of SATC. Flawed as the sequel was, when Michael Patrick King announced earlier this month that its third and current season would be its last (the final episode airs on Aug 14), longstanding fans of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha took to social media to share their sadness. 'Carrie Bradshaw is the most important character that has ever graced television, and arguably, she is up there with the likes of Odysseus, Hamlet and even Jesus,' said one user, perhaps only half-joking. While their fashion prowess will live on through re-runs and Instagram fan accounts such as @everyoutfitonsexandthecity, their honest representation of female friendship will die with them. I'll miss their finery, but more than that, I'll miss their flaws. As someone who grew up with them, I'd have happily watched these women navigate life, love and Loewe into old age. 'I'd have loved the actresses to make it to 'Golden Girl' status and create their own commune,' Rogers admits. 'But I always thought Carrie should have a certain ending, and when I read the last script of season three, I knew the final cosmopolitan had been drunk. I have not processed what it means – though superficially, it means no more stoops, no more closet scenes and no more shoe shots. It was the most incredible experience of my life. 'I saw the world and learnt from Pat and Sarah Jessica how to achieve visual success. The key to that is to be detail-oriented to a fault, make everyone around you nuts because you demand perfection – and never, ever, settle or compromise on an outfit.' Carrie couldn't have said it better. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

3 underrated Amazon Prime Video movies you should watch this weekend (August 15-17)
Whenever I open Amazon Prime Video, I'm both overwhelmed and have the sensation that Amazon is recommending the same movies to me repeatedly. That combination of emotions is a frustrating one, as it leaves you with few answers in terms of what you should watch that's new. That's why I've pulled together a list of three more unlikely titles that you should stream this weekend, each of which is underrated for one reason or another. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video. C'mon C'mon (2021) Joaquin Phoenix is capable of delivering performances in a wide array of registers, and C'mon C'mon is one of the quietest in his long history as an actor. Phoenix plays an emotionally distant radio journalist who must care for his nephew. As the two of them travel the country and learn more about one another, we discover that emotional maturity doesn't necessarily pair with physical maturity. C'mon C'mon is heartbreaking and beautiful, leaving some things unsaid. It's a subtle, grounded movie that feels all the more impactful because it's so quiet. You can watch C'mon C'mon on Amazon Prime Video. Black Bear (2020) Aubrey Plaza has become one of our most reliably strange movie stars in the years since Parks and Recreation ended, and Black Bear is one of her most fascinating projects. The film follows Plaza as a filmmaker who is stuck in a creative rut and travels to a remote lake house in an attempt to spark some inspiration. As she begins to manipulate her hosts, though, she realizes that the best piece of art might be one about what she's currently doing to the people around her. Black Bear is an intriguing movie about the lengths people will go to to do something truly interesting. You can watch Black Bear on Amazon Prime Video. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) A great documentary experience can be unlike almost anything else you can stream, and Dear Zachary provides viewers with exactly that kind of pleasure. The film tells the story of a young boy born in Canada to a mother that fled the United States after she killed his father. As his father's family campaigns to gain custody of their grandchild and convict the woman who killed him, we learn who his father was and the kind of impact he had on those around him. Dear Zachary is a heartbreaking movie born of unspeakable circumstances, but one that will leave you both thrilled and deeply emotional. You can watch Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father on Amazon Prime Video.

Fleetwood Mac's ups and downs: Inside Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's split — and more
Thunder happened even when it wasn't raining — and few bands went their own way quite like Fleetwood Mac. Formed in London in 1967 by drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie and guitarists and vocalists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, the group cycled through numerous lineups before achieving widespread popularity in 1974 with the additions of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. By the time 'Rumours' dropped in 1977 — created amid troubled romances and crippling addiction — Fleetwood Mac had been catapulted into superstardom and etched itself into history. Having sold over 40 million copies worldwide, 'Rumours' is one of the best-selling albums of all time. Now, nearly 50 years later, Nicks and Buckingham are reissuing their 1973 joint album, 'Buckingham Nicks,' a rare moment of unity from the duo whose rocky relationship defined the band's most iconic era. For more, scroll to read Fleetwood Mac's official timeline. July 1967: Fleetwood Mac forms in London, England The original Fleetwood Mac — Fleetwood, McVie, Green and Spencer — was only the beginning. The band underwent several shifts in its roster over the years. In 1968, just a year after its founding, Danny Kirwan, who died in 2018, joined as the group's third guitarist. Two years later, founding member Peter Green, who passed away in 2020 at age 73, departed the band. Green played a central role in forming Fleetwood Mac — he even named the band, telling 'Peter Green: Founder of Fleetwood Mac' author Martin Celmins he chose 'Fleetwood' because he thought it sounded 'like an express train.' In the documentary 'Peter Green: 'Man of the World,' Spencer recalled Green saying early on that he didn't expect to stay in the band forever. 'They're my friends, what are they going to have? I'm going to leave them with the name,' Green once said. 'That's a perfect example of his lack of self,' Fleetwood said in the documentary. 'When we actually formed Fleetwood Mac, he chose that name, and believe me, anyone and everyone around us [was] saying, 'It's got to be Peter Green 'cause you're the dude.' He said, 'No, I want to be in a band.'' February 1968: Fleetwood Mac releases their self-titled debut album The band released its debut studio album shortly after forming. Despite Green's refusal to be recognized in the group's name, the album was originally titled 'Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac' — much to his protest — though it's also known simply as 'Fleetwood Mac.' It climbed to the No. 4 slot in the Official UK Album Charts, despite never producing a hit single. August 1970: Christine McVie joins Fleetwood Mac Christine McVie, formerly of the band Chicken Shack, joined Fleetwood Mac as a keyboardist and vocalist two years after marrying the band's bassist, John McVie. While answering fan questions for The Guardian in June 2022, Christine recalled the day she was invited to sit in on a Fleetwood Mac rehearsal, paving the way for her to officially join the band. 'They were rehearsing at Kiln House, and I was down there with all the wives,' she explained. 'They came out of the rehearsal room and said: 'Hey Chris, do you want to join?' I couldn't believe my luck. I said: 'Are you serious?! I'm just a girl who plays piano.'' Because she was a keyboard player, Christine said, 'The style had to change.' 'It developed a more commercial bent,' she added. 'It was thrilling, and I have to say, to this day, it still kind of is, knowing that I did that. Then it just got better.' Shortly after joining the band, Christine was featured on Fleetwood Mac's fourth album, 'Kiln House,' and also illustrated its cover art. 1972: Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham begin dating Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham met in San Francisco in 1966, when Nicks was a high school senior and Buckingham a junior. They later attended San José State University, where Buckingham invited Nicks to join his first band, Fritz. 'I think there was always something between me and Lindsey, but nobody in that band really wanted me as their girlfriend because I was just too ambitious for them,' Nicks told Cameron Crowe in 1977 for Rolling Stone. 'If anybody in the band started spending any time with me, the other three would literally pick that person apart. To the death.' Fritz stayed together until the early 1970s, after which Nicks and Buckingham eventually became romantically involved. 'I'm not sure we would have even become a couple if it wasn't for us leaving that band,' she once said, according to Stephen Davis' biography of her, 'Gold Dust Woman.' 'It kind of pushed us together.' September 1973: Nicks and Buckingham release their first — and only — joint album, 'Buckingham Nicks' Performing as a duo, Nicks and Buckingham signed with Polydor Records in 1973 and released their only joint album, 'Buckingham Nicks.' Though it included standout songs like 'Crying in the Night' and 'Frozen Love' — and even featured a cover photo of the pair posing nude — the album was a commercial failure, and Polydor dropped them soon after. 'That album holds up pretty well,' Buckingham told AXS TV's Dan Rather in 2015. 'It did not do well commercially, but it certainly was noticed. And more importantly, it was noticed by Mick Fleetwood.' December 1974: Nicks and Buckingham join Fleetwood Mac In 1974, Mick Fleetwood visited Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, California, where producer and sound engineer Keith Olsen played him 'Frozen Love' from 'Buckingham Nicks.' The track alone was enough to prompt Fleetwood to ask Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac following the departure of guitarist and vocalist Bob Welch, who had previously replaced Jeremy Spencer. Buckingham, for his part, made it clear he wouldn't join without Nicks. '[I] didn't think about Stevie one way or the other, 'cause I was looking for a guitar player,' Fleetwood said in a 2009 BBC documentary about the band. 'And very quickly, we realized they were totally joined at the hip.' But according to Nicks, she and Buckingham were already breaking up when the invitation from Fleetwood Mac came. 'When we joined Fleetwood Mac, I said, 'OK, this is what we've been working for since 1968,'' she told Billboard in 2014. ''Lindsey, you and I have to sew this relationship back up. We have too much to lose here. We need to put our problems behind us.'' And they did, Nicks added. The couple moved into an apartment on Hollywood Boulevard and began patching things up. 'We weren't fighting about money, we had a really nice place, and we were going to work with these hysterically funny English people every day, making great music,' she recalled. The band's second self-titled album, often referred to as 'The White Album,' was released in 1975 and marked the first time Nicks and Buckingham were featured on a Fleetwood Mac record. It included two standout tracks written by Nicks: 'Landslide' and 'Rhiannon.' 1976: Nicks and Buckingham break up Just a year and a half into their tenure with Fleetwood Mac, Nicks and Buckingham called it quits. 'I broke up with Lindsey in 1976,' Nicks told The New Yorker in 2022. 'Something happened that was, you know, 'We're done.' And he knew it. It was time. And the band was solid, by that time, so I could walk away knowing that he was safe. And that the band was safe. And that we could work it out.' The then-power couple was nearing a breakup when they joined Fleetwood Mac, Nicks added, but they tried to hold things together. 'I was smart enough to know that if we had broken up the second month of being in Fleetwood Mac, it would have blown the whole thing,' she said. 'I just bided my time and tried to make everything as easy as possible, tried to be as sweet and as nice to Lindsey as I could be. He wasn't happy either.' Their tumultuous relationship — and its eventual end — became the subject of many Fleetwood Mac songs. In a 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, Nicks said, 'I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could. 'You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances.' February 1977: Fleetwood Mac releases 'Rumours' Nicks and Buckingham's split unfolded during the recording of 'Rumours,' the album that would go on to become Fleetwood Mac's most successful release. Released in 1977, it topped the Billboard 200 chart for 31 non-consecutive weeks and earned the band a Grammy for Album of the Year the following year. The emotional turmoil behind the scenes, including John and Christine McVie's divorce, fueled the album's production. 'We had to go through this elaborate exercise of denial,' Buckingham told Blender in 2005, reflecting on his and Nicks' relationship during the recording. 'Keeping our personal feelings in one corner of the room while trying to be professional in the other.' The ex-couple didn't hold back in their songwriting, though. Buckingham's 'Go Your Own Way' and Nicks' 'Dreams' took subtle shots at their breakup — with the latter ultimately becoming Fleetwood Mac's only No. 1 song in the US, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Speaking to The New Yorker in 2022, Nicks said the two singles felt 'like counter songs to each other.' 'I'm like, 'When the rain washes you clean, you'll know.' And he's like, 'Packing up, shacking up's all you want to do,'' she told the outlet. 'He's looking at it from a very unpleasant, angry way, and I'm saying, in my more airy-fairy way, 'We're going to be all right. We'll get through this.'' 1980: Nicks and Buckingham clash onstage during the band's 'Tusk' tour Though Nicks and Buckingham had been broken up for some time, the tension between them remained palpable — and eventually exploded both onstage and off. During a Fleetwood Mac concert in New Zealand on the band's 'Tusk' tour, Buckingham allegedly kicked Nicks mid-performance, she told Rolling Stone in 1997. 'We stopped the show,' Nicks recalled. 'He went off, and we all ran at breakneck speed back to the dressing room to see who could kill him first. 'Christine [McVie] got to him first.' McVie, for her part, told Rolling Stone that Buckingham might have been 'the only person [she] ever, ever slapped.' 'I actually might have chucked a glass of wine, too,' she added. 'I just didn't think it was the way to treat a paying audience. I mean, aside from making a mockery of Stevie like that. Really unprofessional, over the top.' July 1981: Nicks launches her solo career while remaining a member of Fleetwood Mac In 1981, Nicks released her debut solo album, 'Bella Donna,' featuring the soon-to-be hit single 'Edge of Seventeen.' She continued performing with Fleetwood Mac despite branching out on her own. The album, which included collaborations with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Don Henley, went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. 'Edge of Seventeen,' she told Billboard in 2014, was inspired not only by the murder of John Lennon but also by the late Tom Petty, who died in 2017. 'I asked Tom's wife, Jane [Benyo], when she met him,' Nicks recalled. 'She said, 'I met him at some point during the age of 17.' But I thought she said, 'The edge of 17.' I said, 'Jane, can I use that?'' She explained that the lyric 'Well, he seemed broken-hearted / Somethin' within him' was Benyo talking about Petty. 'I bet a lot of people thought I was talking about me, but I was chronicling their relationship as she told it to me,' Nicks concluded. September 1987: Buckingham quits Fleetwood Mac Just before Fleetwood Mac's 'Tango in the Night' tour — named after the album Buckingham co-produced — he left the band. His departure came after he refused to join the group on the tour during a meeting at Christine McVie's house to discuss the upcoming concerts. 'When Lindsey said, 'I'm not going,' I think I got up and ran across the room and tried to strangle him,' Nicks said in a 2009 BBC documentary about the band. 'And then, he chased me out of the house through Christine's driveway, and we had a huge fight. That was that. He was done.' Buckingham, for his part, told Rolling Stone in 1987 that he had always planned to shift his focus to his solo career once the album was complete. 'Back in 1985, I was working on my third solo album when the band came to me and asked me to produce the next Fleetwood Mac project,' he recalled to the outlet. 'At that point, I put aside my solo work — which was half finished — and committed myself for the next seventeen months to producing 'Tango in the Night.'' Buckingham concluded, 'It was always our understanding that upon completion, I would return to my solo work in progress.' September 1990: Nicks leaves Fleetwood Mac Nicks' exit from Fleetwood Mac was reportedly tied to her fan-favorite 'Silver Springs.' Originally recorded for 'Rumours,' the track was scrapped and instead buried as the B-side to 'Go Your Own Way' — Buckingham's own breakup anthem. Years later, following Buckingham's departure from the band, Fleetwood Mac released 'Behind the Mask' and launched a world tour. Nicks, for her part, worked on a solo greatest hits project, 'Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks,' and fought to include 'Silver Springs' on the track list. Mick Fleetwood objected, insisting the song be reserved for the group's upcoming box set, '25 Years – The Chain.' 'I told [Fleetwood's manager] that I want 'Silver Springs' because it belongs to my mother,' Nicks told the BBC in 1991. 'It didn't occur to me that they wouldn't let me have it back. I said to his manager, 'You find Mick, and you tell him that if I don't have those tapes by Monday, I am no longer a member of Fleetwood Mac.'' When Fleetwood wouldn't budge, Nicks made good on her warning and quit the band. May 1997: Fleetwood Mac famously performs 'Silver Springs' at Warner Bros. Studios Fleetwood Mac's classic lineup — Fleetwood, the McVies, Nicks and Buckingham — reunited in 1997 for 'The Dance,' a tour commemorating the 20th anniversary of 'Rumours.' The tour spawned a No. 1 live album on the Billboard 200 chart and earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Album in 1998. It was also filmed for a concert special. During the band's shows in Burbank, California, Nicks and Buckingham delivered their now-iconic performance of 'Silver Springs,' in which Nicks turned from the crowd, locked eyes with Buckingham and belted the song's vengeful chorus: 'Was I just a fool? / I'll follow you down / 'Til the sound of my voice will haunt you / Give me just a chance / You'll never get away from the sound / Of the woman that loved you.' For Nicks, the moment was calculated. Her delivery, she told Rolling Stone at the time, was meant 'for posterity.' 'I wanted people to stand back and really watch and understand what [the relationship with Lindsey] was,' she later told The Arizona Republic. The scene remains one of the most talked-about moments in Fleetwood Mac's history. 1998: Christine McVie departs Fleetwood Mac A member of Fleetwood Mac for 28 years, Christine McVie officially left the band in 1998, though she returned 16 years later in 2014. 'I think that I was probably just burned out when I left, and I was frightened to fly,' she told People at the time of her return. During her time away, McVie released her second and final solo studio album, 'In the Meantime,' in 2004 and told the outlet she had no plans to rejoin the band, spending most of her years quietly in England. But ultimately, she said, 'The truth of the matter is the only people I wanted to play with were the people I had played with all my life — these guys — Fleetwood Mac.' April 2018: Buckingham is fired from Fleetwood Mac Though Buckingham rejoined Fleetwood Mac in 1997, his tenure ended once again in 2018 — only this time, he didn't leave by choice. Ousted from the band, Buckingham pointed the finger at his former flame, telling People in 2021 that Stevie Nicks was to blame. 'It was all Stevie's doing,' he told the outlet. 'Stevie basically gave the band an ultimatum that either I had to go, or she would go. It would be like [Mick] Jagger saying, 'Well, either Keith [Richards] has to go, or I'm going to go.'' Nicks, however, rejected Buckingham's version of events, pointing instead to a disagreement over tour plans as the cause of his removal from the band. 'I did not demand he be fired,' she wrote in a statement. 'Frankly, I fired myself. I proactively removed myself from the band and a situation I considered to be toxic to my well-being. I was done. If the band went on without me, so be it.' Fleetwood, for his part, told The Post in 2019, 'We weren't happy — [happy] sounds almost like too light of a word to use. It just wasn't a happy situation anymore, really, for everyone.' November 2022: Christine McVie dies at the age of 79 Christine McVie, longtime Fleetwood Mac vocalist and keyboardist, died on Nov. 30, 2022, at the age of 79. Her family announced the news on her Instagram, sharing that she passed away at a hospital following a 'short illness.' 'She was in the company of her family,' the statement read. 'We kindly ask that you respect the family's privacy at this extremely painful time, and we would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being and revered musician who was loved universally.' Fleetwood Mac also confirmed the news on X (formerly Twitter), writing that there were 'no words to describe [their] sadness' over McVie's passing. 'She was truly one-of-a-kind, special and talented beyond measure,' the statement continued. 'She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life. We were so lucky to have a life with her.' It concluded, 'Individually and together, we cherished Christine deeply and are thankful for the amazing memories we have. She will be so very missed.' Nicks, for her part, posted a handwritten note on Instagram, calling McVie her 'best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975.' The tribute included lyrics from Haim's 2020 song 'Hallelujah': 'I had a best friend but she has come to pass / One I wish I could see now / You always remind me that memories will last / These arms reach out / You were there to protect me like a shield.' 'See you on the other side, my love,' Nicks concluded. 'Don't forget me — Always, Stevie.' Speaking to Vulture in 2023, Nicks said, 'There [was] no reason' for Fleetwood Mac to continue following McVie's death. 'When Christine died, I felt like you can't replace her. You just can't. Without her, what is it?' she told the outlet. 'Who am I going to look over to on the right and have them not be there behind that Hammond organ? When she died, I figured we really can't go any further with this.' July 2025: Nicks and Buckingham announce the reissue of 'Buckingham Nicks' On July 17, Nicks and Buckingham sparked reunion rumors with coordinated Instagram posts quoting a lyric from 'Frozen Love,' a track off their one and only joint album, 'Buckingham Nicks.'
