Richard "Rick" Christopher Wakeman (Londres, 18 de maio de 1949) é um teclista de rock progressivobritânico, um pianista clássico, que se tornou bastante famoso pelo
seu virtuosismo noutras áreas. Nos primeiros anos de sua carreira ele foi um
pioneiro no uso de teclados eletrónicos e o seu nome tornou-se
sinónimo de teclista cercado por uma vasta gama de equipamentos.
Wakeman alcançou a fama em 1970 tocando com a banda The Strawbs, juntando-se aos Yes em 1971. Ele entrou e saiu da banda pelo menos quatro vezes, reflexo de um relacionamento turbulento com o grupo. Em 2002 voltou aos Yes pela quinta vez.
Rick Wakeman é considerado um dos pais do Rock Progressivo e do Rock Sinfónico.
Wakeman é um teclista brilhante, sendo considerado por muitos, como
as mãos mais ágeis dentre todos os teclistas. Utiliza pianos
acústicos, elétricos e eletrónicos; sintetizadores; Minimoog; Mellotron; todos os tipos de teclados; órgãos, órgão Hammond; clavicórdios e tudo que tenha teclas.
Wakeman produziu centenas de álbuns com os mais variados temas, desde
lendas míticas da antiga Inglaterra até sobre o Espaço Sideral, passando
por reis, rainhas, temas astrológicos, bandas sonoras para filmes,
entre outros. Produziu tantos álbuns na sua carreira musical que nem
mesmo o próprio tem certeza de quantos álbuns produziu ou em que
participou, ao todo.
Dois dos seus filhos, Adam Wakeman e Oliver Wakeman, também seguiram a carreira de teclistas, sendo o filho Oliver o que mais se aproxima do estilo do pai. Adam Wakeman é o atual teclista da banda de heavy metalBlack Sabbath e toca muito com o pai, aparecendo em diversos álbuns e shows.
Recentemente, no final de 2008, Wakeman foi convidado formalmente pela
família real britânica para celebrar os 500 anos da ascensão de Henrique VIII
ao trono inglês com um de seus espetáculos, o que deu origem ao show
"The Six Wives of Henry VIII Live at Hampton Court Palace" lançado em
CD, DVD e Blu-Ray. O show foi realizado num dos castelos construídos por Henrique VIII, o Hampton Court Palace e reuniu uma orquestra com 70 integrantes, um coral de 40 vozes, um quinteto de rock e diversos convidados especiais.

Christine Anne McVie, néePerfect
(Greenodd, 12 July 1943 – London, 30 November 2022) was an English musician, singer and
songwriter. She was best known as keyboardist and one of the vocalists
of Fleetwood Mac.
McVie was a member of several bands, notably Chicken Shack, in the mid-1960s British Blues scene. She began working with Fleetwood Mac in 1968, initially as a session player, before joining the band in 1970. Her first compositions with Fleetwood Mac appeared on their fifth album, Future Games. She remained with the band through many changes of line-up, writing songs and performing lead vocals
before partially retiring in 1998. McVie was described as "the prime
mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits" and eight songs she
wrote or co-wrote, including "Don't Stop", "Everywhere" and "Little Lies", appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1988 Greatest Hits album. She appeared as a session musician on the band's last studio album, Say You Will. She also released three solo studio albums.
As a member of Fleetwood Mac, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 1998 received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
In the same year, after almost 30 years with Fleetwood Mac, she left
the band and lived in semi-retirement, releasing a solo album in 2004.
She appeared on stage with Fleetwood Mac at the O2 Arena in London in September 2013 and rejoined the band in 2014 prior to their On with the Show tour.
McVie married John McVie in 1968, with Peter Green as best man. Instead of a honeymoon, they celebrated at a hotel in Birmingham with Joe Cocker, who happened to be staying there,
before going on the road with their own bands. The couple divorced in
1976, but remained friends and maintained a professional partnership. During the production of Rumours, Christine had an affair with Fleetwood Mac's lighting engineer, Curry Grant, which inspired the song "You Make Loving Fun". From 1979 to 1982, she dated Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys.
McVie married Portuguese keyboardist and songwriter Eddy Quintela on 18
October 1986. Quintela and McVie collaborated on a number of songs
together, including "Little Lies". They divorced in 2003, and Quintela died in 2020.
During the height of Fleetwood Mac's success in the 1970s, McVie
resided in Los Angeles in a house that had previously been owned by Joan Collins and by Elton John. In 1990, she moved to a Grade II-listed Tudor manor house in Wickhambreaux, near Canterbury
in Kent, to which she retired after leaving Fleetwood Mac in 1998, and
worked on her solo material. For years McVie found inspiration in the
home's country setting, not only writing songs there, but also restoring
the house. After rejoining Fleetwood Mac in 2014, she began spending
more time in London, and put the house on the market in 2015.
(...)
McVie died in hospital on 30 November 2022, at the age of 79.
Her death was announced by her family through social media. In a
statement following her death, Fleetwood Mac said that she was "the best
musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone
could have in their life". Fellow band member Stevie Nicks said McVie
had been her "best friend in the whole world". According to her death certificate revealed in April 2023, McVie died of a stroke and suffered from metastatic cancer of unknown primary origin.
