There aren’t going to be any more tours, though. Mick and Mike said as much last year and Christine basically confirmed it. Having lost at least one year which may extend into two years, even a small run of shows here or there is becoming less realistic. They’re still on the table, though. Even if Fleetwood Mac only serves as a way for Stevie to get more attention, it’s a lot of attention, and something she’d hate to lose.
Fleetwood Mac might be in a position to force the issue of an album, which is really the only reason for a non-touring band to exist. At this point, the McVies are ready to wrap it up, so the threat of losing Stevie’s star power doesn’t hold a lot of weight for them. Neil has Crowded House, Mike has the Dirty Knobs and maybe the Heartbreakers (which gives him even more leverage), and Mick will likely have Lindsey.
The big tour paydays are over and everyone who wants work can get it. However, Stevie might benefit the most from Fleetwood Mac still being an entity. Otherwise, she’s just a solo artist and not also the star of a legendary band.
