Without Lindsey around to complain, I wouldn't be surprised if this band set up a Vegas residence and actually started using holograms and old video footage interspersed in with live performances, while Stevie was backstage changing costumes and sipping green tea.

I can’t see Neil or Mike going along with that.

IMO the band should not have gone on as FM without Stevie or Lindsey. No replacements after the '97 reset.

Christine was just as important as either of them(you always leave her out).

There was never a “‘97 reset.” The classic lineup got back together because their collective careers were in the crapper, and without Mo Ostin and Lenny Waronker out at Warner’s, it wasn’t clear if any of them could get signed.

I could easily enjoy Fleetwood Mac without that fake bloated and over rated relationship. SYW was marginal.

I wish $he would have left to pursue her solo career and left the other very wealthy members to concentrate and be forced to write good music. Then, tour the smaller or medium size venues.

It would have been a treat, just like BuckVie. BuckVie was a summer I'll never forget. Christine McVie is Fleetwood Mac.

it would have been so much better. I'm not a Stevie hater by any means but I feel she handled this in the most Divaesque way possible and I view her totally differently now as a result.
Had she left, FM as a 4 piece would have lost nothing on a musical level and we surely would have gotten a proper BuckVie presentation, which as we know was really a Mac album sans you know who.

Florence Welch! She's got that dreamy, ethereal thing going on. And she can really sing.

If they backstabbed Lindsey for money, I have no doubt they will continue making money anywhere.
