Again, it's been documented.
Yes & no. Yeah, she did the video for "Love Shines" with Billy, Mick & John, but there wasn't much else she was involved in. From what I've been told re Another Link In The Chain album submission, she wasn't involved in that album in any way.

That, and even during the "Shake The Cage" & BTM tours, not doing a couple of his prior solo songs that got some major airplay (i.e. mainly "Don't Say No")
