“Without her, what is it?”

Nicks said of McVie, who died in 2022.

“Christine was my best friend.”

“We did go out on the road and do a year-and-a-half tour with Neil Finn and Mike Campbell.

We had a really great time and it was a huge tour.

That was there in the realm of possibility,” Nicks toldVulture.

“But when Christine died, I felt like you’re able to’t replace her.

You just can’t.

Without her, what is it?

You know what I mean?

Christine was my bestfriend.”

“We protected each other.

“When she died, I figured we really can’t go any further with this.

There’s no reason to.”

“None of the rest of us could write those songs,” Nicks finished.

We couldn’t re-create those songs.

So we became a much more hard-rock band.”
