The Corrs share cover of Christine McVie’s ‘Songbird’ to honour the anniversary of her death

The Corrs have paid tribute to Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie on the anniversary of her death, today, November 30. The sibling band, made up of Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim, announced the release of their stunning ‘Songbird’ cover in honour of the late singer-songwriter and pianist via X/Twitter.

The Corrs wrote in the post, “Our version of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Songbird’ is released today to honour the legendary Christine McVie,” alongside a visualiser to accompany the cover.

‘Songbird,’ written by McVie, is widely considered one of the top songs from the legendary rock band throughout their decades-long discography. Today marks one year since the heart-shattering passing of the Fleetwood Mac vocalist and pianist, who sadly passed away last year, aged 79, after a brief illness and a stroke.

The day has seen more tributes paid to the much-loved star, including from her former bandmate and friend Mick Fleetwood who wrote in a post on X/Twitter, “Dear Chris, a year ago today you flew away, and memories come flooding back. Too many to mention! I miss you…Fleetwood Mac misses you…along with so many that loved your music. Always love, Mick Fleetwood.”
