They take separate limos to shows but even recording a music video, they keep their distance, have separate trailers, and don't converse.
One tiny detail that stuck out to me. The guy says he first met Christine after they shot the music video Gypsy. Christine said Stevie got to dress up pretty and now its her turn. So the video Gypsy was made before Hold Me? If so, it shows that Warner Brothers wanted to release Gypsy as the lead single. Music videos are usually made in sequence of singles released. But no way in hell when Bella Donna is still on the charts that it would it be cool for Stevie to have the lead off single. So I wonder if they made a change in releasing the first single. Edge of 17 was just dropping out of the top 40 while After the Glitter Fades was released when this video must have been shot.
Just my speculation but something that makes you go hmmmmmmmmmm.

From, what I gathered, “Hold Me” was always considered to be the lead single. That doesn’t mean, however, that work on the “Gypsy” video wasn’t done first. FM were making a two-pronged attack....one on the airwaves and one one MTV. Perhaps the idea of making Gypsy a visual centerpiece was considered first? However, all evidence shows the label and the band expected “Hold Me” to be issued first. At any rate, the chart performance certainly confirms that it was the right choice as lead single.
