The situation wasn't life threatening by the time she found out about it. That said, if Lindsey and Kristen are agreeable, it would be nice for her to go see him after this leg of the tour.

then again, if they're really so far gone, they may choose to tell themselves he brought it all on himself -- making them fire him, having the heart issue etc. Denial and ego are a powerful combination.

did they acknowledge Bob W in any way onstage (or otherwise) when he DIED?
I'm not holding my breath they'll say anything.... open that whole can of worms as to why the hell he's not onstage with them.... As for Stevie getting to see LB, she's gonna have to go through Kristen first, and right about now I don't see that happening anytime soon..... If any of them have any class they'd have sent flowers. Very showbiz and a very easy way to let someone know you are thinking about them. A feud doesn't mean you have to be a cold-hearted a$$hole..... I remember Joan Rivers talking about how she and Johnny Carson never spoke after she got her own show (even though he had no intention of her ever taking over his show) but then his son died, she sent him flowers because a stupid business disagreement pales in comparison to life and death. He never acknowledged it, and never sent flowers or any acknowledgement when her husband died. Some people are just flaming d*cks. Just because FM was in a nasty lawsuit doesn't mean they couldn't have a shred of human decency left in them.....but then again, it's Fleetwood Mac.

no. we don't even know whether he'll tour in any capacity ever again, even if he fully recuperates.
i'm talking on a personal level. reversing their public PR trashing of him and stop minimizing what he did for the band would be a good first step. i hope each of the 4 says something at their next show. before they launch into SHN would be an opportunity for Mick to set the tone. this is their first chance. and make it real, and make it about him, not about themselves. then again, these people had so many wake up calls in the last few years, and they blew past all of them and did exactly the opposite from what one would expect. i still hope they make an honest try, because they obviously hurt him deeply.

Is it shocking for me to think Neil could actually do it before any of the remaining 4 do it? It would be so disingenuous for them to say something yet sort of appalling if they don’t |

the social media message their PR put out which was copy / paste signed as "the band" was disingenuous. they can do better, and i hope they do.

I think Lindsey being taken so ill, will be an end to any thought of Rumours 5
ever being together again. What this wake up call will do is make him realise life is so so short. Even when he recovers fully, surely he won’t want to spend time touring with a bunch of t*****s that turned their backs on him. But time is a great healer, so who knows. |

Fair point and and yes, very dependent on what they say. Anything along the lines of “good friend”....utterly disingenuous. The statement when they announced he was out of the band was despicable. Nothing shocks me with them any longer

The discussions they must be having right now..... WE KNOW Stevie doesn't want to say anything, but feels they may have to or they will look bad. It's not about actually feeling anything for LB, because the woman is a bitter old shell of herself. Her only pleasure in life now is the applause for her fans. Like an aging Hollywood actress walking around the malls to be recognized, that's what she has become.

Its a very difficult situation. If Stevie says something a few hard core Mac fans could boo her. If they don't say something it makes them look cold and uncaring (really how they are).
But lets not forget. Lindsey was thrown out of the band because one member did not like the way he stood behind her at an awards show. Stupid YES but the worst part is the rest of the band gave the green light to let her get her way. I may be in the minority but I actually think its worse if they say something than to not say something. Their. Words. Mean. Nothing. I mean really, you are going to feel better if Stevie dedicates Landslide to him when she stated she would never be on the same stage as him again. I am sure (or at least hope) each band member called him personally. But I would be surprised either way for them to say something. IMHO its worse if they do say something pretending to care when they treated him like discarded and replaceable trash. Its appalling they are doing his songs live now. So why would they stop now?

Totally DISGUSTING that they are going to playing some of his songs tonight while he lay sick in bed. They all make me sick now. I'm sure Stevie is in her glory, that's how little I think of her now.

I understand what you’re saying, although it really wouldn’t surprise me. Neil seems to be a class act. That said, my money is on Christine making the first public comment.

Lindsey, while not currently involved in the band, was involved as recently as 2018. LAST YEAR. His songs feature heavily on the band's most recent release, an anthology of greatest hits, many of which are his. And he was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and performed at the induction. There is, believe it or not, less love lost with Lindsey than there was with Bob. They will say something. If they don't, I'm going to smoke a cigarette...or a cigar. And enjoy it. |
