Christine’s Return—Davis Book
A friend just gave me a copy of the GOLD DUST WOMAN bio and I have a question. On page 306, Stephen Davis says “Christine’s request to return to Fleetwood Mac wasn’t a cause of joy for Lindsey Buckingham.” This I knew, as he routinely qualified her return with conditions and the old “we were doing well as a four-piece” bit. But then Davis writes, “Lindsey was outvoted, and Christine would be welcomed back into her old band.” Did Lindsey actively vote AGAINST her return? That seems like a stretch. He can be abrasive and controlling but he couldn’t be THAT delusional, could he? Or is this bit of Davis copy just a slanted piece of journalism from Stevie’s camp intended to make him look bad?
Any clarification is welcome. |

I think this has already been reported. He was not in favor of it because he it was originally offered for Christine to join the European leg of their 2013 tour. He did not like the idea of floating members in and out. His opinion was you are in or out of Fleetwood Mac. The rest of the band would probably loved Christine perform at their European live shows in 2013. Once Lindsey knew Christine was serious and back for good, he welcomed her with open arms. They have a special relationship.

Miss Tambourine loves to say anything to make LB look bad these days.

Considering the author couldn't even get Stevie's date of birth correct in the book, I'd take everything with grain of salt.

However once Christine did come back. I think Lindsey knew she was sincere and her love of playing and sticking with the band. Off topic I think Lindsey is to be praised for not letting Sheryl Crow in the band. Mick and Stevie were game and Lindsey protested hard enough to not make it happen. I understand how Lindsey thinks. Thank goodness he won that battle.

As for LB being "out voted," I think the author meant it in a metaphorical way, and not literally. So I'm sure the 4 members didn't sit at a table and actually vote on whether CM could rejoin or not; they probably discussed it and 3 were in favor of it and LB accepted their pov. |

considering all inaccuracies in the book that people have pointed out, starting from SN's bday, why are we even seriously discussing anything written in it??

So many interviews where LB said himself he wasn't keen on it unless it was back to full time.
And considering he did an album and tour with her. Let's just say he seemed to love it the most.

Exactly! Months later, he was saying "I love youuuuuu" to her on the BuckVie documentary.

He has always loved Christine. I think it's great they have such a meaningful relationship within the band. Mick and Christine have that, too.

I understand his doubts at first. Maybe he didn't want to put his hopes up in working with her again if she was planning on leaving after one tour. I'm sure he's happy she's back. You can tell that during BuckVie.

I love watching that documentary. It's so warming compared to the Destiny Rules. That one was depressing.
