Yes. I never said that Billy had signed on for the tour when Lindsey was still in the band. He was the first guy they were going to ask, their first choice.


The way I heard it is that Billy got the call that Mick wanted him and Rick to join Fleetwood Mac while the two were in the studio with Roy Orbison, and Billy told Rick that night.

Just going on what Billy wrote in his autobiography.
You are right though- I read it again. Mick called Billy and asked him to join. While on the phone he asked Billy to get in touch with Rick and offer a place to him as well. Rick happened to be in a studio with Billy and Roy Orbison at that exact time.
