It was Lindsey who created this drama by backing out of an already scheduled tour. He could have done his solo thing next summer and honored his commitment to playing the Fleetwood Mac tour. If Lindsey had done that, the band would still be together and all would be good.

Which is exactly what Stevie has done in the past. Made the band tour wait for her to finish her solo thing. And Mick was not too happy at the time.
So what you're saying is 2 sets of rules for Stevie and Lindsey? That's why people are upset. Not to mention, firing someone is a slap in the face. You don't fire a band member of 30+ years for such a stupid reason. Clearly someone wanted Lindsey out. I wonder who it was?
