In 1979, Christine McVie fell in love with a rock legend. Years later, she had to say goodbye too soon
The article recounts Fleetwood Mac singer and songwriter Christine McVie’s relationship with Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, whom she met around 1979. Their romance followed the strain of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours-era turmoil and the end of McVie’s marriage to John McVie, and it mattered deeply to her despite lasting only a few years.
McVie later described herself as “addicted” to Wilson, saying people were naturally drawn to him, but that he was “too far gone” by the end. The article highlights Wilson’s songwriting, especially his solo album *Pacific Ocean Blue* and the song “Forever”, while noting the lasting effect of his earlier association with Charles Manson. McVie was deeply affected when Wilson died shortly after their relationship ended.
