The 70-year-old musician joined her former bandmates on the last night of the London dates, and played the keyboard as the band treated the audience to a rendition of Don’t Stop – which Christine wrote back in 1977.
The blonde walked on stage to a huge round of applause and no doubt made the night an unforgettable one for the thousands of fans who had come to see the rockers.
Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks had already promised that McVie would be joining the band for two UK dates, but she didn’t confirm which concerts they would be.
British-born McVie was a member of the band from the 1970s until 1998.
She married bassist John McVie and joined the group in 1971, moving from the UK to the US, and despite the fact that the pair got divorced in 1976, Christine remained in the band and continued to enjoy enormous success – particularly with the album Rumours.
After leaving the band, the blonde singer returned to the UK and stayed out of the limelight and when the band announced their latest world tour, Stevie revealed that Christine would not be a part of the permanent line-up because she didn’t want to fly to the States.
Also in the crowd at last night’s gig was founding Fleetwood Mac member Peter Green, who left the group in 1970. He received a dedication for the song Landslide from Stevie.
