Several mention the delay in waiting for Stevie.

Thanks for sharing that link!

Here's one guy's take:

Nick DeRiso: In 2012, back before Christine McVie’s return, Lindsey Buckingham was ready to tour again with Fleetwood Mac, but they waited for Stevie Nicks – who didn’t finally get back on the road with the band until 2013. Following McVie’s return a year later, Buckingham was ready to record, and again they waited for Nicks. By the following year, he and McVie had begun recording without her. This went on so long that they completed an entire album, featuring all of the members of Fleetwood Mac – except Nicks, who did another solo tour in 2015. Then, Buckingham and McVie, waiting into 2017, mounted their own separate tour. All of this happened while they waited for Stevie Nicks. Finally, Nicks returned, but by this point Buckingham – understandably, right? – was ready to do something on his own. So they reportedly fired him. Makes perfect sense.


Most of the others fall for the band's story that the band was worried about getting older and living life to the fullest and Lindsey didn't want that.

Interestingly, they all think that Stop Draggin' My Heart Around will be included in the set, because of Mike co-writing it with Tom and as a tribute to Tom. In the middle of a Mac show. Facepalm.
