instead, we will probably have a massive mammoth 2 year FM tour going throughout 2018-19.

many other bands alternate between touring solo, and with different bands and combinations - so considering how little time they have left, that should definitely be something FM should consider. 2014-15 OWTS tour really threw a wrench into many individual (and together!) band members' creative and touring efforts for basically 3 years.
That would make a lot of people happy, starting by some members of the band. Time is not on their side, I agree, so they should make a decision quick.

Maybe the tension in the air during the Classics had something to do with that. Maybe Lindsey is trying to negotiate some solo time between the FM tour, and he's getting nowhere. I really hope he's gonna try because that would work for many of us.
