What are the odds of one more US tour?

[guillamene]

The one thing that we can say for certain is that nothing can be predicted about Fleetwood Mac, especially in relation to anniversaries. There were no shows for the 25th anniversary( as the band was,strictly speaking, broken up in 1992) I remember when 'Say You Will' came out: I was sure that the album would be dedicated to Christine.Nothing, apart from a mention as an "additional" performer. In a way, I actually respect them for this: so many bands flog the anniversary/reunion/final tour/comeback thing to death AND often with only very few of the original members.
I doubt we will see another tour, certainly on the scale of 'On with the Show', for a variety of reasons which have already been discussed. One of these is the question of John: I couldn't see them doing it without him and, for me, it's not Fleetwood Mac without him.Period.
This recent/current tour has had one central theme- the return of Christine and the five playing together. And this has been such a blessing for long time fans like myself. I'm quite resigned to this being the last tour.If it is, then what a way to go! I told my two daughters (11 and 13),who we brought to their very first concert, that they probably won't see this again.
If we do, it will be a bonus. This wonderful band owes us nothing!

True they don't us anything and if you haven't seen Fleetwood Mac by now, your **** out of luck. That's your fault. They should not be guilted into anything.

(Stevie, Lindsey and Chris do not need the money. John might not be here. Some of them don't even like touring this time. I wouldn't get my hopes up for another tour.)

I can see a series of larger shows in key cities perhaps. LA? NY? A string of shows at the Forum or the Garden, filmed for a dvd... I can see them wanting to cap things off with something. Not sure they'd pack up and go international again. But as so many have noted, one never knows with this band. (I hope the hell they've been filming this tour-- onstage and off!)

Why not? You'll be 20 years older than you are now.

75 is old on some people, but Christine looks springy and great. Michele

Seriously, I don't think they'll be touring, but can you imagine if they develop that dementia that some older people get where they are always paranoid and think their caregiver and relatives are all out to get them? If Stevie and Lindsey became crazier than they already are, it would be hilarious to hear their rants.

At Mick's Sydney meet and greet he said he hopes the band would have one more big tour which he hoped would begin some time towards the end of 2016. However he did then say something along the lines of 'but you never know what could happen'.

2016? After this long tour. No way.

Yea .They can come out around the holiday 2016 for a short holiday tour and play holiday tunes like Kenny Rogers and add some new tunes to keep the fans warmed up for the following year.

Yes .I would trek out over the snow covered hills to see this kind of show.Atlease it will be different.

I had the impression Stevie was being dragged along for this tour, but she has shown nothing but pure joy at being on tour for the Oz shows
