I have to wonder though, if this Maui show is Chris dipping her toes back into live performing after being off the stage for 15 years. Start small, without the pressure of band politics or playing for 20,000 people... but with familiar faces there for comfort. There just has to be something in all of this... her spending 3 weeks with Mick in Hawaii, meeting up with John, now reportedly her flying back to LA to visit with Stevie & Lindsey. Maybe I'm just a romantic, but I have to believe the seeds of something are being planted here.

I am just confused by all of this. Christine has dispelled two of her great fears very quickly. I'm delighted, but I wonder what has changed. Maybe we will never find out.

For what it's worth, I just cannot see her getting involved in Fleetwood Mac stuff, despite this. I think it's safe playing to a smaller audience in Maui. An arena in a big city with the old buttons being pressed by John, Lindsey or whoever else would be an understandably less appealing prospect, even for one night only.

Ok, the fact that Christine FLEW to Hawaii & got on stage last night after years of thinking we'd seen the last of her publicly & musically kind of undermines my next thought, but I seriously doubt we'll ever see Rick Vito & Lindsey Buckingham on the same stage (those last 2 nights of the BTM tour notwithstanding)

But, then those folks have always seemed to surprise us...even though the "suprises" come at Continental Drift speed.

I'm betting on a five-member-lineup album sometime in 2028. Something to look forward to in my middle-age.

Christine probably is too. Stevie and Lindsey? Not so much. So perhaps Christine has been practicing playing the song in a lower key intentionally with the thought that she would eventually be playing it with Stevie and Lindsey?

gotta love your optimism!

Damn you all for making me think something might happen!

I wonder. What if they play the whole of Rumours straight through in a small setting which is filmed and recorded for CD/DVD? Or something like that?

That way, Mick saying "she won't tour" is not a lie, but something still is happening. My only thought is that Lindsey (and maybe John) would object on the basis that the four-piece would be undermined creatively by bringing Chris back, and audiences on the tour would expect her. Also, the pressure on them/her from the label and managers to rejoin would be immense if she did that kind of one-off thing.

My instinct is still that this is just an anomaly, but I'll be very happy if I'm wrong.

I noticed a camera guy in the right corner filming...

i thought that as far as we know they don't have a label. i can see various managers' pressure but does Christine even have a manager at this point? i would think that she is doing whatever she wants, and the only pressure she may feel would be the pressure of some old friends or wanting to have some fun and experience the stage and audience reaction again.

Nope. Christine is going to tour with Aerosmith.

She is still represented, yes. I think it's Martin Wyatt. Mick referred in a UK interview recently to the fact that she is still represented by some form of management when 'legacy' decisions are being made.

So Christine McVie and Brett Tuggle really are not the same person?

Thanks for sharing that, David! Christine looks gorgeous.

Haven't had a chance to watch the video of "Don't Stop" yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I completely respect Christine's desire to never tour again (if that is indeed how she still feels), but I desperately want her to record some new music with the band. It just isn't the same without her.
