Why is a tour "break" of a month or two inherently different from tour "breaks" of a night or two or three during a given week? A lot of you guys said that touring a secondary, lesser tour during a larger main tour was a promotional no-no. (I never understood just why that might be true, or even whether that was true.) Promotion behind a big tour like this one isn't going to abruptly stop just because the band is on a month-long hiatus. In fact, I'd think that the band NEEDED all its members during part of that hiatus to reinvigorate itself by adding new songs to the set. You may not know this, Sugar Mouse, but Fleetwood Mac actually wrote and recorded new material during its July break from the 1980 touring schedule.
There is most definitely some double standard nonsense going on with this band at this time (and historically, too).
