That wasn’t exactly the same situation, though. Stevie wasn’t ready to stop touring an album that was already released, but more importantly wasn’t ready to come back to Fleetwood Mac after the death of her mom. Hell, Christine basically quit touring for 23 years after her dad passed away, so a one year delay was inconsequential by comparison. It was also seven years ago, before John had a cancer scare and before the eldest member returned.
Stevie’s comments on CBS were outrageous, but when haven’t they been in the past two decades? Although, Lindsey admitted to requesting a delay at the late November/early December, 2017 meeting, where the band “stonewalled” on the issue. Personally, I think Lindsey was toast going into that meeting.
