Christine McVie, the British keyboard player and co-vocalist in Fleetwood Mac whose honeyed voice steered numerous hits, died Wednesday. She was 79. A member of Fleetwood Mac for more than 50 years – with a few intermittent breaks – McVie imbued their sound with a feathery touch.

The band posted a statement on their official social media accounts calling her “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 cherished Christine deeply and are thankful for the amazing memories we have.”

Fleetwood Mac’s representative, Kristen Foster, confirmed McVie’s death to USA TODAY. According to McVie’s family, she “passed away peacefully at (the) hospital following a short illness.”
