With Fleetwood Mac touring all over the world from city to city, the easiest way for them to travel was by flying. You would think with the amount of time they had to spend on a plane, the band members would have gotten used to it. However, if you have a fear of flying it can make the job more difficult.

In a 2015 interview with The New Yorker, Christine McVie revealed why she left the band in 1988, explaining, "I left the band because I developed a terrible fear of flying." Many were unsure whether or not that was the real reason McVie decided to make her departure, but bandmate Stevie Nicks confirmed the reason, per Yahoo! Entertainment. Nicks said, "That'll do it, if you're flying every night, and you're afraid to fly ... you can't go on the bus if you're one of the lead singers." Nicks revealed there was "no other answer" for her, so she had to make the difficult decision of leaving.

Since 1988, however, McVie has had a change of heart. For McVie life had gotten "boring" without the band, per The New Yorker. She said, "I missed the songs. And I missed the audience." For that reason, McVie decided to rejoin Fleetwood Mac in 2014 with an amazing welcome. McVie told Yahoo! Entertainment, "I was so warmly and affectionately received back into the band like the prodigal daughter or something." Fans were ecstatic to see one of their favorite bands all together once again.
