According to The Blast , the cause of death of Christine McVie , vocalist and keyboardist of Fleetwood Mac , was a stroke that occurred after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
The website obtained a copy of the artist's death certificate, which shows a diagnosis of "metastatic neoplasia of unknown origin," meaning that the cancer had spread throughout her body without the primary source of the tumor being detected.
The primary cause of Christine McVie's death is described as an ischemic stroke – when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain. The secondary cause is believed to be cancer.
The death certificate included in the court documents filed for the artist's estate settlement also reveals that McVie was suffering from "atrial fibrillation," which is the most common type of arrhythmia – when the heart beats too fast or too slow.
Christine McVie passed away on November 30, 2022, at the age of 79. Fleetwood Mac posted a tribute to their longtime colleague on social media.
