Who knows.
I may be in the minority on this board but I think the Mac tour will sell very well and I don't see them wanting to share profits with anyone especially since they have 2 new members who want to get paid $$$$$$$
I also bet they tour with 2 back up singers instead of 3. Small cost cutting will increase revenue. I don't see the tour being as successful as On With The Show with double backing across the USA but fairly successful.

I think these 2 new members likely get paid considerably less than LB would have.....hence more coin in others pockets. Mike and Neil don't warrant getting paid what lindsey would have. So at the end of the day, Mick and Stevie have more money in their pockets. As do John and Chris--Now, depending on the set list for this circus.....well all bets are then off.

Stevie will probably have more money in her pockets but she will also have to work more. She supposedly took Lindsey’s place and in the band. Nor Neil or Mike. She did. So I expect her to work as much as Lindsey did. If she can’t do it, she should probably let others take her place. You know, people with some musical background.

She won’t be able to keep the pace. I guarantee that.

I actually agree with you. Stevie will have to work a lot harder during this tour now that LB is not there when he is usually the one who works and owns the stage. And you are right she won't be able to keep the pace, nor will she enjoy how much more exhausting it is for her when she has no doubt more vocal work to contribute.
She definitely didn't think this one through.

Exactly. I don’t think she thought this enough. That’s why I don’t understand why everybody around her agreed with her crazy idea. Mike will probably do what she says but he won’t do more work on stage that his usual. He won’t do more just because she says so.

And she’s supposedly in a lot of physical pain...

Oh please, she will get someone else to do the work like she does every other time.

Yep. I'll bet they ALL wish they had a time machine, and could reverse this travesty. She let(because they allowed) her emotions to ruin the band.


What kind of pain is she in? Her hips? They probably don't see much action these days, but from the stories I've heard, I can see why they're worn out.

Doesn’t she do her own two and a half hour solo shows? Seems like based on that alone, she will be fine.

But she has to do a LOT more tambo playing when she's not just standing at the mic singing and talking the entire time.

Yes, well, it's kinda obvious why.

But hey, she can do two and a half hours shows on her tours. So if you add The Pretenders, their shows are what? Four hours long? Please, she probaby stays no more than one hour and a half on stage! Then it's all for the real Rock & Roll Queen, Chrissie.

Math is not a strong subject on Stevie's fans.

Mama got around more than a merry-go-round.

She's bitten off more than she can chew with this decision. EVERY casual fan I know, that saw FM for the first time, walked away and told me that "Lindsey IS the show".

Unfortunately for them, I think math might actually be their strong subject.

From the time she came on stage for Gold and Braid until she said good night after Landslide was 100 percent 2 hours long. That includes everything besides the music including encores but from start to finish her 24KG Show was 2 hours.

To be honest I took a guess at the 90minutes time as I figured with The Pretenders she wouldn't have had that much time left to go her portion of the show....you are no doubt correct and will know the exact timings, apologies
