She has been spending an increasing amount of time in London since rejoining her rock band for a global tour.

So now, Fleetwood Mac singer Christine McVie has decided to put her sprawling Grade II-listed country home in Kent on the market.

The 72-year-old, who penned some of the group's biggest hits including Don't Stop and Little Lies, is selling the mansion for a whopping £3.5million.

She is planning to 'upsize' in the capital - where she has been spending a lot of time with her bandmates - and 'downsize' in the country.

Ultimate Music Guide: Fleetwood Mac by @uncutmagazine on sale now - UK

Uncut Magazine

122 page magazine
Don’t Stop! Uncut’s newest Ultimate Music Guide tells the incredible story of Fleetwood Mac – an infinite series of surprise plot twists, where radical upheavals arrive with every new album. “We’ve never done what was expected of Fleetwood Mac,” says the band’s first leader, Peter Green, “we’ve always done the opposite.”

Fleetwood Mac: The Ultimate Music Guide collects revealing features, unseen for decades, from the archives of Uncut, NME and Melody Maker They document the rise and fall of Green’s band, the emergence of Christine McVie, the transitional lineups of the early ’70s, the dramatic arrival of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, and the glory and devastation that soon followed. “Being in Fleetwood Mac is more like being in group therapy,” noted the mostly redoubtable Mick Fleetwood in 1977, as he contemplated the seismic impact of Rumours and laid bare – not for the last time – the private lives of its key players.

Our Ultimate Music Guide, though, focuses on Fleetwood Mac’s extraordinary music as much as their intimate affairs. To that end, we’ve commissioned new, in-depth reviews of every single one of their albums, from lost gems to some of the biggest-selling releases of all time. Like everything about Fleetwood Mac, it makes for an uncommonly long and complicated story, but one that is never less than compelling. “Looking back, it’s like listening to war stories,” says Fleetwood. “There’s blood and guts and disagreements still to this day. But that’s what makes it mean a shit.”

On sale in the UK on Thursday Sept 10, but available to order now online.

FLEETWOOD MAC “WHITE ALBUM” 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Fleetwood Mac Pivot To Stardom On 1975 Album 
Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood Recall Fateful Union

Dallas, TX - August 11, 2015.  North American syndicated Rock radio show and website InTheStudio: The Stories Behind History’s Greatest Rock Bands takes a look at one of the most interesting personnel changes in Rock’n’Roll, setting off the musical tsunami of Fleetwood Mac’s third and most successful era with this self-titled album forty summers ago.

British ex-pats blues band Fleetwood Mac had established themselves over seven years (1968 - 1974) and ten albums as a respected musical outfit.  No stranger to personnel changes (15 different members over the band’s forty-eight year career), none was more impactful than the departure of American Bob Welch in 1974 and the serendipitous arrival of struggling singer/songwriter duo Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. That fateful union would forever change the music, and fortunes, of Fleetwood Mac.

The 1975 “White Album” would become Warner Bros. Records’ biggest-selling album to date and produce three hit singles, “Say You Love Me”, “Rhiannon”, and “Over My Head”.  InTheStudio host Redbeard spoke to Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks about the transformative union, and just how quickly their personal and professional lives changed.

“Initially we were looking for a guitar player, but almost instantaneously upon inquiring about their (Lindsey & Stevie’s) situation, I found it to be they came very much as a package… As soon as we started playing together it became very evident, in terms of the spark, and realizing the chemistry that was definitely there.” - Mick Fleetwood

“It was like overnight, hugely successful. And it was hard for my little brain to accept that kind of fame, that fast ..You have to remember: Fleetwood Mac was NOT looking for another girl singer. They were looking for a guitar player, period. The fact that the guitar player they found happened to have this girlfriend, that they instantly knew he was not going to give up for them… I know Mick joked to many people, ‘Well if she doesn’t work out... off with her head!’”  (laughs) - Stevie Nicks
