If Lindsey had done that, the band would still be together and all would be good.

It is unreasonable to fire a member for scheduling conflicts, when another member has prevented the band from touring and recording in the past, with no repercussions. Your argument that it only matters if the tour was already booked is academic at best. Stevie prevented the band from touring, so same net result.
It's pretty obvious the real reason is conflict between Stevie and Lindsey, considering their history, and the touring conflict is just an excuse.
The band should have bent over backwards to accommodate Lindsey, as they did with Stevie in the past.
