Finn solo tour in between Mac dates announced

[David]

Hmmm. . . I just asked about this on the rumours forum. And here's the answer, by golly.

How was Neil Finn able to wangle solo gigs during the Fleetwood tour, and Lindsey allegedly was not?

It's very weird to be brand new in a band and to balance your solo plate with the band's plate (like a waiter) during the year the band is on the road. Vito put out a solo album when he was in Fleetwood Mac, but the band was inactive that year. And Stevie certainly did some recording for The Other Side in early 1988, when the Shake the Cage tour broke for several months before heading to Europe.

I think there's more to this story than meets the eye!

Maybe because they’re on a different continent while Fleetwood Mac is on a two month break

Neil’s album was already done when he joined the band. This is probably the only promotion he’ll be able to squeeze in without disrupting the tour in any way.
