Biography of Christine McVie

Christine’s father, Cyril Percy Absell Perfect, was a concert violinist and music lecturer at St Peter’s College of Education, Saltley, Birmingham, and taught violin at St Philip’s Grammar School, Birmingham. While her mother, Beatrice Edith Maud (Reece) Perfect, was a medium, psychic, and faith healer.

McVie was introduced to the piano by her parents when she was just four but did not study music seriously until the age of 11 when she was reintroduced to it by a local musician who was a friend of her brother John. She continued classical training until the age of 15 but shifted her musical focus to rock and roll when her brother acquired a Fats Domino songbook.

In 1968, McVie got married to John McVie with Peter Green as best man. After nine years of marriage, Christine and John McVie got divorced but still remained friends and maintained a professional partnership. During the production of Rumours, Christine had an affair with Fleetwood Mac’s lighting engineer, Curry Grant, which inspired the song “You Make Loving Fun”. However, they broke up a few months later.

Christine then dated Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys between 1979 -1982 but got married to a Portuguese keyboardist and songwriter Eddy Quintela on 18 October 1986 after breaking up with Dennis Wilson. The couple; Quintela and McVie collaborated on a number of songs together after their marriage including “Little Lies”. Nevertheless, their marriage was crushed and they got divorced in 2003.
