And the press begins...

However here the link to the High Quality video:

This was awful. I honestly cant believe i sat through that. The man responsible for all of there success is pushed out, and the members act as if he never mattered. Unbelievable.

So they make it sound like they are saying he was asking them to delay the tour for at least a year, based on Stevie's comment.

Surprised to see Neale Heywood is still there.

A "new band"?! What? Who are they fooling? Christine will soon be 75. If they tour, then record as a "new band", and tour again, she will be well into her 80s. Do you really want an octogenarian to sing "Sugar Daddy"?

Neale and Brett by the looks of that video, I wonder what this means for Lindsey's band?

another factor will be to see if Christine will join Lindsey on any part of his solo tour as a guest. That will be telling.

It was also strange that Stevie effectively put the blame for not waiting for Lindsey on Christine, especially as in the Rolling Stone article Christine says she didn't even know Lindsey had been fired until she was back in London.

This reminds me of when Mick was angry at Stevie for putting her solo work above the Fleetwood Mac tour he wanted and complained about it in a 2012 interview with Playboy:

Apparently they have to wait around for Stevie, even when it upsets Mick, but not Lindsey.

The article also estimated that each member would take home $10 million a piece for a Mac tour in 2012. I imagine that it's way more now so I can see why Mick is fed up with waiting for all that cash.

She did? I must have missed that part....

I suspect this is a business decision for both of those guys. They have to work. Fleetwood Mac is a definite income in the near future.

You're right, I misheard. She said "this team", not Christine.

And that's why some people here love to quote it.

The whole interview was a slap in Lindsey's face. Same with the RS article.

[bombaysaffires]

ok I'm watching CBS on the west coast, and every time they cut to commercial and show the teasers of what is coming up after the break, they start to show something about the FM interview, you'll get a second or two of one of the songs and then they abruptly cut to someone promoting a totally different piece. THey've done this at least 3 times now.

I know they edit the show for the west coast, and even do some segments live (usually the news segments) ....but it's almost 8:30 and they haven't shown FM yet.

I cannot figure out, other than they aren't going to air it, why they keep stepping on the promos for the FM interview and cutting it out. Very weird.

Like I said in another thread, Stevie has demanded the band only tours every three years, even though they had wanted to go on other tours before then. THE BAND WAITED. If Lindsey would have gotten his way (if this is true), it would have been a little under 4 years. This disgusts me. Who the f does Stevie think she is? "I go from one project to the other" I would bet a MILLION dollars that LB would have turned his solo album into a FM album if SN would have been willing to record. This would have kept her working on a project, which she says she needed to do, because she has nothing else to do. NOW they are saying they want to record?????? WE all know what happened. Stevie wanted Mike Campbell in the band, because since she can't write anymore, he will mostly write her songs for an FM album and she can write the lyrics. SO obvious. So sickening.

Ok it's running the Mac piece.....and they run a whole clip of GYOW

[bombaysaffires]

Stevie, when talking about losing Tom, how it's made her realize time is short and she's gonna enjoy all of it:

"And I'm gonna stop complaining,"

And John's face........
