Spin it however you want but the bottom line is that no one throughout the intervening decades has contradicted statements that Lindsey himself decided to leave/quit the band in 1987, rather than tour.
This time around, Lindsey has clearly stated that the decision was not his and no one has contradicted this statement either, despite Mick's aversion to an 'ugly' word.
