Houston Ticket Prices Substantially Reduced

I would love to see her and the girls wearing the outfits from In your Dreams. Strip down the band, add a percussionist back in and get rid of the setlist and start again. Small venues like Lindsey does. I still remember how much I loved hearing her do Beauty and the Beast in 2005.

She has manager, publicist, accountants, lawyers (you don't think Stevie is Oprah and writes every check do you?) who are working on her behalf and must get paid regardless of whether she's on tour or not.

She's probably better now about having tons of pals on her payroll because most of them seem to have matured, gotten married/had kids etc... but...For years she was the sole source of income for Sharon, Lori, Christopher, Robin, Rebecca, Glen, and whoever all else, on top of her brother, his family, etc. She paid I'm sure for any education of her niece, for Matthew, and who knows how many of the gazillion god daughters she has. Now, she's the one who created this situation of having lots of dependents for sure, but I'm just pointing out that she does have dependents even if she didn't give birth to them.

This is very intriguing, and I never thought about it in these terms. Sure, I assumed she financially supported her brother and mother, but not the others.

Do you think Sharon Celani and Lori Perry have been on a continual salary since 1981, even in times when they were not touring - or do they just receive a lump sum for each tour. Also - Lori hasn't toured with Stevie for several years now. Is Lori still on the payroll? What does Jessica do for a career? I know that Chris handles merchandising, but how hard could that be?

If Stevie is 100% financially supporting the whole entourage, that's a bit much.

Stevie has progressed to wigs for this tour. The bangs are her real hair, the long curly locks are a wig that comes on and off each night.

Christine wore wigs onstage for the last two Fleetwood Mac tours and the BuckVie tour.

Not sure how that works these days. Sharon has had a career singing backup for other stars.. ( I think she's sung on album(s) by Mick Jagger and others) and so.... And of course she's on the FM payroll when she tours with FM. Lori I dunno... I think she does get paid some kind of salary and does things for Stevie.. like she's mentioned in different interviews about how she sent Lori to go digging through storage units in Phoenix to track things like demo tapes down for her. Most performers have pretty impressive storage units where they keep all their stage outfits and instruments/equipment and whatever all else they need when they tour and all that. So someone has to inventory all of that stuff and fetch it as needed by the star. Lori chose to stay home and raise her daughter, but I don't think she was out doing a 9-5 job during that time... and what did her husband do to make money?? They lived in Stevie's Phoenix house as well (rent free? Just pay for your own utilities???)

I don't think Chris does her merch anymore and hasn't for a while.. but others on here will know far better about that.

Jessica was a make up artist at one point, but since then she's had a baby and not sure if she's still doing make up or what. I think she was living in Stevie's big house for a while, so the house was being taken care of and wasn't just sitting empty since Stevie lives and sleeps etc in her apartment.

I recall when Stevie was making the iYD album at her big house she talked about how one of her god daughters cooked for them every night big sit-down meals... I would think she would have been "hired" for that (doing the menus, shopping for the food, cooking and prepping it) but....that's just my guess.

Stevie thanked Taylor Swift for a song that Stevie listened to after Christine passed away and thanked the audience for helping her get through the loss of Christine.

I wonder if Stevie has regret for not wanting to make a new album or albums with Christine since Christine returned in 2014 (a period of 8 years) and for basically deriding Christine's album with Lindsey. Whereas Mick, John, and Lindsey jumped at the chance to make new music with her. I'd bet Neil and Mike wanted to make an album with her too. They (Stevie and Christine) could have spent so much time with each other in the studio and left something of value for the world on a disc or a vinyl record.

Reviewer said Stevie told her Milwaukee audience that she voted for the first time at the age of 71. Please God show her the way.

Maybe before then she was just writing ultimatums on the ballot.

New interview out with Minnie Martin that says Stevie removed Sara because it reminded her of Christine. When it was played at SoFi, I had said it was significant Stevie was playing this given the song starts with Christine playing it.

Minnie also says Stevie is so happy doing her solo shows that she may not want to do FM shows with Christine gone but never say never.

Unless she voted in 2019, either the reviewer or Stevie misidentified her age.

In November 2020 she was 72.

The Primary was in March 2020 so she was 71 then.

Indeed. I hadn't thought of that.

It's sad that someone waited until age 71 to cast a vote in a national election. Whatever the case, I would LOVE to secretly know which candidate she voted for.

For the primary? I think she would have supported Bloomberg. For the general, it's out there in interviews who she voted for.

Thanks, I found it. I hadn't paid much attention to Stevie's voting record. In this article, Stevie voices her disdain for Donald Trump and his effort to win reelection.

I dont believe a word of that. Its almost like the stories she told during the 1980s why Sara was never performed anymore. She always told stories.
Would it have anything to do with her not knowing the song and when to come in as was shown in the video? If she does not perform Sara because of Chris's passing then why is she doing Dreams or Rhiannon where Chris sang back up. Not to mention she is singing a tribute to Christine in the show. So she can get through that but not Sara?
