John Graham McVie was born on November 26, 1945, in Ealing, Middlesex, England. He is a British bass guitarist.
The British bassist is known for being in the rock bands John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers from 1964 to 1967 and Fleetwood Mac since 1967.
The name of the band is thought to have come from the combination of his last name and that of Mick Fleetwood.
John McVie, as he is commonly known, joined Fleetwood Mac shortly after its formation by guitarist Peter Green in 1967. He took the place of Bob Brunning, who was a temporary bass guitarist. Only McVie and Fleetwood have been on every Fleetwood Mac album.
Also, the two of them are the only original members of the group who are still alive after more than 50 years. McVie married Christine Perfect, a blues pianist and singer who was also a member of Fleetwood Mac, in 1966. They got a divorce in 1976, but they still got along.
