I imagine it was Billy Burnette. That would explain how he knew about Lindsey and why he appeared frustrated in his tweets about not being chosen.

You're right. I think the deal with Mike Campbell was sealed, but they needed a vocalist. They brought in Billy Burnett to play with the Campbell lineup. Of course, it fell flat, just like it did in 87-90. They realized something was missing with Billy Burnett, so Mick called his friend Neil Finn.
I think we were very close to having a Burnett/Campbell lineup added.
