Billy Burnett wasn't offered a spot to come back. He had a rant about this on Twitter, he's actually the one that broke the news something was wrong. But then he took his tweet down. It said something to the words of "Lindsey's out but I sure as hell am not back in" but then it was gone....

This fiasco all went down right after MusicCares. I'm surprised it was able to be kept secret as long as it was.
Billy's health issues have come in recent weeks-long after Fleetwood Mac had already selected Finn. I suppose, in hindsight, it was good that Billy did not get the job. His health conditions wouldn't have withstood the strain.
