Christine McVie, the once retired singer, has rejoined Fleetwood Mac. The 70-year-old who quit the band 15 years ago, made the announcement through the band’s publicist Liz Rosenberg. 

 

She said: McVie "has indeed re-joined Fleetwood Mac and we are hoping to make an announcement about a possible tour for the full tilt Macsters some time in 2014."

 

The vocalist previously gave hints of her plan to rejoin the band. In September, fans were treated to the closest thing to a full reunion when she joined the rest of the band onstage in London to sing “Don’t Stop.” 

 

She had said: "I like being with the band, the whole idea of playing music with them," she said. "I miss them all. If they were to ask me (to return) I would probably be very delighted."

 

McVie, who also plays keyboards in the band, was responsible for writing and singing some of Fleetwood Mac's greatest hits such as "Don't Stop", "Little Lies", "Everywhere", "You Make Loving Fun" and “Songbird”.
