What can Stevie do to win back the many long time fans she’s lost the last few years?

Then Mick should tell the journalists in advance that he's not interested in discussing the Lindsey's subject anymore. But no, he LOOOOOOVES telling every one of them that they weren't happy, and he simply loves twisting the knife onto Lindsey's side.

Could anything redeem her in her lost fan base and Fleetwood Mac’s fanbase? The question needs to be asked.

Personally, I think she needs to show some humility. That might help. She seems like a taker and I think she needs to start giving, without wanting anything in return.

she needs to get rid of her girl!Posse ...particularly Karen
she needs to actually tell the truth
starting with the exact date she started "not" being the boss of the band.
why did she REALLY kick lindsey out

but im afraid i will never be a fan again
she'd have to do something pretty massive and geniune
and i don't think she's capable.

I truly think she's past the point of being capable of that. She's had smoke blown up her ass for 45 years now, and she believes all of it.

It's actually sad what she's become. More sad is that she's not capable of seeing it.

That's very true.

Instead of being humbled by her first real failure
which is approaching thirty years ago. Her ego has
only grown. If one were to take away The Dance, what
success has she really had these past thirty or more
years?

Yet she still thinks she's the queen. I don't get it.
Lindsey's lucky to be rid of her.

I can't imagine where she would be, had The Dance not have happened. She's really done nothing of worth, solo wise, since then.

And yet, it's all about her. She's a f**king pathetic human being now.

Let’s face it, without The Dance, the five of them would be forgotten totally. Which is why it’s so preposterous and unthinkable that post-The Dance, any of the Rumours 5 would be fired and replaced in Fleetwood Mac.

i normally agree with you
but you are making up NONSENSE
Aussie shows always have abt 10 dates

this tour has 13
SYW had 11 shows
Unleashed (heap of junk tour) had 9 dates
OWTS had 13

i looked at tix for 2 days of each city/ all the 4 day shows
and tix aren't even remotely close to being sold out
in Melbourne especially, that is unheard of.
only the Saturday show is remotely close to being "sold out" and vaguely the Sat sydney show.

Neil would be more popular here than in the US definitely
but he ain't selling out any of these shows
and neither is Madam.

They were deeply passionate about each other, but not in an entirely sexual way. It was a spiritual bond, a "partnership" of souls, a meeting of minds, a personal and career support network, whatever. Of course, the two of them backed it all up by saying these things in print and onstage. (Meanwhile, neither of them ever picked up a phone and called the other during off-season.)

you forgot the psychos that think Stella (and / or LeeLee are) is Stevie's kid.

I was (am) a BN shipper ... a fairly sane one but I don't think EVERY SINGLE THING was always an act. I also don't think that they NEVER picked up a phone and called each other. there are many examples of Lindsey saying something that contradicted something Stevie said (and I'm pretty sure they ALWAYS had a sit down to get their faux stories straight). I mean, why make an issue out of how CLOSE you live to each other. and he spent WAY more time with her on IYD than she admitted to. and there's a whole bunch of other suss stuff that I just can't be bothered typing about coz i have sadly, stopped caring.

In my deepest of darkest delusions I would love for this all to be an "act" and that Lindsey (for whatever fkn RIDIC reason) agreed to x amount of monetary payment and slamming in the press and hate ... to "leave" the band so the focus on the "band" wasn't SnL and they could carry on being BN *outside* of the public eye.

but even this ex chiffon!head knows that Stevie is VERY "woke" despite the airy-fairy fake persona she exudes. and that deep down, she is ... let's face it, a duplicitous @ssHole

This tour has 17, not 13. Not much nonsense here.

And don’t underestimate Neil’s fans.

She hasn't done anything of worth solo wise since The Wild Heart album.

Aus 13
NZ 4

Aus & NZ combined 17

Edit: I agree with you interest in Australia will have piqued due to Neil Finn's involvement. That they haven't sold out shows even with Finn in the band tells its own story.

there are THIRTEEN australian shows.
NZ is NOT part of Aus and nowhere did I mention NZ shows.
clue up before you try and school me.
i am talking about Australia NOT NZ because I don't live there.
I don't give a crap how many NZ shows there are.

he may aid in NZ shows but not in Australia
and even NZ isn't SOLD OUT. which, it should be because NF is just so great and what an asset to FM he is.

She’s conniving, always thinking about her career.

You didn’t mention NZ shows but I did. And you answered to my post about AUS/NZ shows, not only AUS shows. I was talking about both shows not only AUS shows, but you had to jump in and made it all about AUS. I don’t “give a crap” about any of those shows.

I have the slightest interest to “school you”. I don’t know you and honestly couldn’t care less.
