The group's main songwriter, who also sang and played the keyboard, was in the band for 28 years before quitting in 1998. She recently reunited with them onstage for a handful of London shows and seems to be regretting her decision from decades ago.

"I like being with the band, the whole idea of playing music with them," McVie told the Guardian. "I miss them all. If they were to ask me I would probably be very delighted--but it hasn't happened so we'll have to wait and see."
