I feel silly even getting involved in this speculation, but why would Stevie have a problem with Lindsey doing solo shows? Why would she make it it's either him or me over him wanting to do some solo shows between the Fleetwood Mac tour? I don't understand the thought here. There has to be more. I'm hoping we hear more when they start promoting the Fleetwood Mac tour. Unless they totally sidestep these obvious questions, we should find out more information within a few months. All this speculating does is spread more hate and anger. Jamie |

IMO it’s up to the band to address this stuff and prevent the spread of hate and anger. And they should do it pronto. If they weren’t ready to go public yet, then whomever told Billy Burnette should have kept their mouth shut. The cats out of the bag now. Attempts to sidestep questions about Lindsey’s departure are going to make it worse.
I’m hoping for a Buckingham tell-all in depth interview. After this I truly can’t see him ever going back again to work in any way with any of them. So I hope the man gets his story out there and helps drive the narrative instead of just letting the other side do it. |

The strange fact is that surely his profile isn't run by him himself so it was premeditated, not a rash decision. |
Well, Billy Burnette whether we want to admit it or not did spend many years in Fleetwood Mac when nobody else would. He lasted longer than Peter Green or Bob Welch. I would understand how he would be upset that he wasn't chosen. At least he knows all the usual songs. Do Mike or Neil? If it was just a touring band for the get rich quick tour Billy would actually have been a better choice.

...Billy Burnette never quit Fleetwood Mac. Mick dissolved the Time band when he knew there was a chance he could get Stevie and Lindsey back on board. That made sense for Mick but its a big kick in the butt for a guy who had given a number of years commitment to the band.
From what I read Billy heard about the Lindsey situation from Mick. He only put out his tweet several days after some people had already been discussing it on social media. He probably thought it was out in the open and fair game. |
I find it incredible that there is nothing on the Fleetwood Mac FB page except that stupid penguin logo. That has just allowed hundreds of people to vent their spleen without a response from the band. This may have been possible in 1987, pre-Internet; now it is a sign of the very usual ineptitude and cluelessness of the band's managers. By this time they should have had their ducks in a row.
And I don't blame Burnette for talking. If I were in his shoes I would have done the same thing, and probably in more caustic terms. |

i need my side-distraction from day-to-day life, and nothing is happening. we haven't heard from Lindsey since the beginning of February. presumably he must be getting better, but we have no idea whether he can even talk, let alone sing ever again. Lindsey's tour was going to start about now and go through May, with several interesting festivals he was headlining and i wanted to go to some of them. so i miss seeing Lindsey perform, i miss Countdown and Rock Away Blind which were supposedly going to be a part of the setlist this spring. plus we have no idea what's happening with his new album that was almost done, if he cannot sing. while we are waiting to hear whether Lindsey is alive and whether Stevie is alive, it's interesting to read these old threads and see what people were saying when the news first came out vs what unraveled in the last year. |
