I mean I think she kind of exaggerated it, he definitely had a seizure but I don't think that it nearly killed him. She was saying his whole body was convulsing and that he choked on his tongue and his face turned blue from the lack of air but part of me thinks that was probably her exaggerating it. If he was able to play a concert after, even sitting down, it couldn't have been THAT bad.

thank you. i wish anything could. some people just like to be dense or live in their made-up cocoon.

SteveMacD, shouldn't this post be moved to a different forum?

Sorry, couldn't resist! I think everybody could point out different sacrifices each band member has made at one time or another for FM.

Are by any chance those cocoons made of glitter and rainbows?

I'm starting to have no doubts about it...
What Kristen says is really sad, but she knows the support of the fans who are not living a good moment with all of this. Of course we would like to read a statement from the own Lindsey, but for what I read before, it's true that we could hear it in form of songs in a new album. But I don't see an old Lindsey writing against someone like on his FM days or even in the first half of the 90s...
Anyway, would be nice to see, hear, read something from his own.

he needs to release a song on itunes. like this week or next!

unfortunately, 1) he's never good with being on the ball as far as business and PR goes, and 2) he has a label so he cannot just release stuff on his own whenever he wants to.

did i say it before - i HATE it that he's with the label now. getting held back and screwed all over again, from Best Of on.

completely agree. several people also suggested that on LeeLee's post - and she liked it.

and perhaps KB should stir the ship and assist, and throw in some curve-balls as she's been!

And I have to say, she's been doing it in a really classy way. Obviously don't know her so I don't mean to imply she wouldn't but we've all been on the receiving end of a bad situation and the knee jerk response is to lash out (at least for me it is)---she/LeeLee aren't. Much kudos there. There posts are thoughtful and heartfelt.
I've said in other posts--there are NO winners in this situation. It's just bad all around. Not to poke the bear either, but yesterday's interview didn't help the band at all. Sad Situation!

kbchrush I happened to see a tweet on Mick Fleetwood’s Twitter today that asked ...”what is the secret to Fleetwood Mac’s success?” This question struck a chord with me and compelled me to answer.
But because I am getting old I don’t know how to use Twitter, I’ll just post my thoughts here...maybe someone out there can put it up on Twitter for me lol. So....“what is the secret of FM success Mick?” My opinion/answer is. ..”The heady chemistry and artistry of these 5 members together - John, Christine, Mick, Stevie, and Lindsey. That iconic sound by those 5 coupled with romantic tension and the worlds love of drama made a undeniable cocktail. Each personality and their creativity defined the band and it’s success.” Therefore honors such as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grammys, MusiCares Person of the Year to name a few were earned by this group. It is beyond a shame what has come to pass over recent days. I have lots of thoughts, feelings and facts that I will spare you from at this point. It is my husbands place to speak in his own words when the time is right for him. All I can say is thank you to all the loyal fans that supported FM over the years and for recognizing how stars only align once in a blue moon...and they did for this band. @mickfleetwoodofficial @stevienicks #whoareyoupeople

She edited her post and added Christine and John. That's odd.

I think people should also remember that something like this is probably hard on a family. There's likely a big emotional toll in seeing your loved one get kicked out by the group he's been a part of and devoted so much of his life to for 40 years. And then just the fact that as long as the Buckingham family has existed, they've known their father/husband as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Having to adjust to the fact that he's NOT that anymore and that it happened in such a sad way is probably very difficult.

On top of which, having his credibility and work ethic called into question....Sad situation all around.

Well, once again, thank you.

People seem to dismiss the fact that this family breathed FM for 20 years. Emotional ties were broken. Between the whole Buckingham family and Ms Nicks. That people that Stevie used to call her family (Jeff Buckingham and his family) especially during the San Jose concert is now bashing her.

At this point it's hard to deny Stevie had nothing to do with this.

And having all the Washington Post articles etc coming out, bringing up all the domestic abuse details again decades after it happened....how does he explain all that to his teenage daughters?
