“The auction is more than just a sale of memorabilia. It’s a celebration of McVie’s extraordinary talent and her enduring impact on music,” Julien’s Auctions wrote in a statement. “From penning some of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest hits like “Don’t Stop” and “Little Lies” to her successful solo career, she blazed a trail for female artists in the industry. Her legacy lives on through her music, and this auction offers fans a chance to own a piece of that legacy.”
The full collection features an Album of the Year Grammy Award nomination plaque for Rumours, keyboards, a series of piano boxes, gold and diamond jewelry items, photos of Mcvie with John McVie, signed posters, furniture, trinkets, and more.
McVie, the longtime co-lead vocalist, keyboardist, and songwriter for Fleetwood Mac, died in November 2022 at the age of 79. “We would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being and revered musician who was loved universally,” her family shared at the time.
McVie joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970. She went on to write (and co-write) some of the band’s most memorable songs, including Rumours classics “Don’t Stop” and “You Make Loving Fun,” as well as “Hold Me,” “Little Lies,” and “Over My Head.”
