The only official statement I've seen comes from Nick's daughter, which states that he "is close to transitioning to the next place", with a photo. It can be seen here...

In every case, out of respect for the individual and their family, people should wait until official confirmation of one's death before speculating or announcing anything about it online/publicly.

Well, good that it was not true.
How come that happened?

Fleetwood Mac's songs are too numerous to mention. But here is one that few people know she wrote, because it was recorded by numerous others, as well as this original Fleetwood Mac version...

Re: In Memoriam
I think I have become my maternal grandmother. When I was little kid and would go to her house, it involved 2 or more hours of listening to who had died, who had "parted", etc. A buffet of bad news.
But now that I am older, I catch myself, at times, being affected by news of death. Much more often than I was when I was a kid.
I know it's the product of getting older.
I just don't like it.
For the record, Everywhere is my favorite Fleetwood Mac/Christine McVie song. It's the only Fleetwood Mac song I have on my playlist. I can't put my finger on it, but that song just always resonated with me. (Don't care for the music video, though.) Strange how that song has recently popped up in advertisements--after all this time.
And now this. RIP.

And the random function in the music player brings memories without a warning. Sometimes, very good and warm memories.
