It's so clear why Christine left. At least a big part of it. In addition to dealing with her own issues, her only outlet was those two morons.

I'm not saying she didn't have plans for 2014 that suddenly had to be changed. I'm saying I don't buy for a minute that Warner/Reprise came to her and said "We know things changed and you have a Fleetwood Mac tour coming up, but you still owe us a record by 12/31 and that's non negotiable" That album, the tour, it was nothing but a middle finger to the band because she didn't want to do another Fleetwood Mac tour, even if it was with Christine. The only way to make it work for Stevie was to make it about Stevie. Imagine Stevie AND Christine on the cover of Rolling Stone together. What a concept. That surely didn't happen, did it? Since Christine was her best friend in the whole world after all, it just seems like the gracious thing to do... And really, the whole band needed to quit putting up the charade that it's an equal, democratic partnership. The whole band is captured on national television practically cringing as Stevie declaired "She's not the boss of this band" that was a joke and they all knew it.

Where was that even remotely suggested? Stevie has all but said it was a contractual obligation album.
Quote:
The middle finger would have been telling the band she’d get back with them in two years. And, she was completely open about not wanting to make a Fleetwood Mac album. Yes, she made 24KG, but those were old songs that were completely worked out. The point being she hasn’t made any album of new material -Fleetwood Mac or solo- since IYD. She is and was in a worse place than when they made TITN. How would Stevie unenthusiastically writing forced songs have benefited what became LBCM? It would have been like TITN, only worse. Quote:

The fans that have been with her for decades don't get considered. I don't subscribe to that peer pressure that I should be grateful to see her at age 76 singing the same songs she always has because there aren't many years of concerts left. So many artists either still tour their new albums (The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen) or markedly refresh their setlists (Janet Jackson, Madonna) for their dedicated fans. That was Stevie for 98, 01, 11-12, and somewhat 2016 even though that setlist to me was even more of a disappointment than those once in a lifetime Caesars Palace shows

Which is all that matters as far as the band’s current business affairs are concerned.
Quote:
Using that logic, Fleetwood Mac should have continued working with Keith Olsen. He scouted Fritz, encouraged Stevie and Lindsey to ditch that band, write their own songs, and move to Los Angeles, played them to Mick Fleetwood, begged them to join Fleetwood Mac, and produced the first album of that lineup, which eventually topped the charts and produced three Top 20 hits as well as five concert staples. Their success wouldn’t have happened without him. And, then there’s Ken Caillat and especially Richard Dashut. LOTS of amazing music made with those guys, too. I could go on. Bottom line, Mick and John were opening acts or part of oldies packaged tours without Stevie while Lindsey and Christine played to 2500-3000 people without Stevie. Even if Mick, John, Christine, and Lindsey played on as Fleetwood Mac without Stevie, what kind of venues do you think they would have played? Stevie had an uptick in her popularity and was completely within her right to capitalize on it as much as she could.
