I think this could be it. The final Fleetwood Mac album. If Christine has 3 finished songs to bring to the table along with Lindsey's 8 and Stevie can bring in 3. Take a couple of Lindsey's completed songs and make them band songs (Little Lies/The Chain) Done! Adding Chris back to the mix will put them back on the radio and sell a lot of discs.

However, realistically, we know Lindsey wouldn't be keen. Am I wrong? Come on. He loves this 'new' sound and the fact that he's really the unchallenged musical driving force. I'm not being facetious or unkind. I know the Lindsey fans get their knickers in a twist at the sort if comment I've just made, but tell me he wouldn't have his nose put a little out of joint by having to re-calibrate his approach to accommodate the 'only person in Fleetwood Mac that he ever listened to'. Plus, what label (and band) is going to allow Chris to contribute without committing to a tour? I think that whilst she has come far with her therapy and new outlook, she still wouldn't want to take a year out to go around the world, or even just the US. The RV thing would be cumbersome and it wouldn't, I don't think, calm the discomfort of a 70 year old who wants to be in her own bed every night.

I don't think at this point another world tour is needed. If they put out the album promoting the 5 of them back together. Perform on The Today show, Ellen and the Grammys and get the New "hit" on the radio featuring all thee voices will do it. A couple of select shows in addition will do the trick.

Thesedays, revenue principally comes from touring. Record sales don't bring a vast fortune in for the writer or performer, even at their level. Plus, John and Mick wouldn't make anything significant, as their income comes from live performance. Then there's the advertising. As you point out, in order to sell anything, word needs to spread. You do the press stuff, all over the place, but that requires travel, which Chris might object to. Even then, you can't sell a record by a handful of TV spots. Realistically, if you want to shift records, you need to get out there and play live.

You're right, Lindsey does enjoy this 'freedom' of not having Chris, aka the only one with the balls to stand up to him musically, and the only person in the band he listened to. But there's also the tiny possibility that he missed having someone to bounce ideas off of and get some right back. Things he couldn't really do with Stevie because she's not a musician, per se, or with Mick and John because they don't write. With the RV thing, we know it's not realistic. Like her, I get major insomnia when I'm not in my own bed too, so I get her feelings about that, the homebodies we are.

Chris's willingness to perform live isn't much of a problem now, but I wonder how much travel and touring Chris is willing to do at this point. The fact that she said that she "would have to tour" indicates that she's willing to do at least some traveling, but to what extent, we don't know. Though she didn't say she's willing to fly around, so probably not a whole lot.

C'mon now. If you were as wealthy as her, you could stay in the 5 star world class hotels. Heck you could even have your own bed shipped to each location if you're worried about how your back will react to the coils. You can even have each hotel room decorated to look like your own bedroom. The possibilities of comfort are endless when you've got the dough to back it up.

A new Fleetwood Mac album with 12 new classic tracks by the 5. I see it happening.

Believe me, I was the first person to say she would never tour again. In fact, after "In The Meantime", I thought that was the last we'd ever hear from her.
If history has told us anything about this band, we might get one final who ha! A solo album with other members quite possibly. or.. God forbid, nothing comes out of this, which is also possible...

And I do believe the "who ha" is a MAC album. I have been on this ride for 35+ years.
