Performing on the Gold Coast on Thursday (December 1), Urban paused the show to give a short speech honoring McVie’s memory. “Today,” he said, “we’ve lost one of our Fleetwood Mac members, the incredible Christine McVie.

“For me, growing up listening to their music, there were three great singers in that band. You had Lindsey Buckingham, who brought such an angular, punk ethos to the band. And you had Stevie Nicks’ voice, which was angelic. [y] from another world. And then you had Christine, who, to me, was the soulful, maternal heart, gloriously, in that band.”

Urban proceeded to play a medley of Fleetwood Mac songs featuring McVie, including “Say You Love Me” (from the band’s 1975 self-titled album), “Everywhere” (from 1987’s “Tango In The Night”) and “Songbird” (from “Rumours” 1977). Meanwhile, a photo of McVie was projected on the screen behind Urban.
