And the thing is, even IF Lindsey had asked to the delay the tour by a full year, it's still WRONG for them to fire him for it. Lindsey has given SO much to that band, he's put in a HUGE amount of work and he's given up his solo projects for them MORE THAN ONCE. After all these years and everything he's done, it's my opinion that if he really insisted that he needed that (which is just a hypothetical situation, because he didn't actually), they should have made it work. Stevie Nicks literally DID delay a recent FM tour by a full year because she wanted to take an extra year to promote her solo project. That whole debacle is well documented in Mick's Playboy interview and the subsequent interviews for when FM finally did go out. There's a video on YouTube, when I find it again I'll post it, of Stevie during press for her IYD doc where she talks about how Fleetwood Mac was supposed to go out on tour that year but she told them "sorry I need this year, you guys just have to wait because my project isn't done and I'm taking this year" and she says it with so much pride and the audience cheers her. That just proves how the hypocrisy the band is demonstrating with their cover story is ridiculous and the fact that some people think IF Lindsey had asked for that he would somehow deserve it is also ridiculous. Stevie can delay tours, refuse to record albums, fly off to Australia to sing with her friend instead of being in the studio with her band, do just about anything she wants and never get any "punishment" for it. And it's not any secret why either, Stevie is the cash figure for the band so she holds the cards, Mick lets her because he needs money. To me it's crystal clear what happened, whenever this issue over tour dates started, Stevie just decided she wants no more Lindsey conflict in her life and so he was out. The end. |

I don't think at this stage they have the luxury of waiting another year to tour. With John having had cancer, and Christine's physical problems - wasn't there an issue with her hand, and wasn't she not playing much on the BuckVie tour? - I would understand that there's an urgency to get moving with a tour. Why not seize the moment now whilst they still can - there is no guarantee they will all be healthy enough in years time. If Stevie wanted to delay the tour at this point, I wouldn't be impressed, at all. Delaying a tour 7 years ago is a very different story, compared with the situation right now. If Lindsey suggested delaying the tour until next year, I can fully appreciate why they said no, and why they needed to move on without him. Last edited by MoonSister75; 05-21-2018 at 06:45 AM.. |

I agree 100%. I just don’t get why some people feel that Stevie can get away with making demands of the band based on what she wants, and yet Lindsey should be fired for the same, BUT then we are able show he actually didn’t, SO WE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SCENARIOS. Yet they can’t and they still think the whole garbage situation is justified. It isn’t. Not at all. Mick and Stevie are so disappointing, and Chris and John too for standing by and not stopping this debaucle that has ruined the band. Yes, I think it ruined the band. Other don’t but I think it did, my opinion. |

Can someone quote for me who specifically said that Lindsey told the band he wouldn’t tour with FM until late 2019? I’d like a quote and not some line from an article. The actual quote. Last edited by jmn3; 05-21-2018 at 12:08 PM.. |

I believe Mick called Neil and Mike in March to offer them the jobs after the band couldn't convince Lindsey to honor his commitment to tour this year. |

I completely respect your opinion on this question. It is a very tough call on whether the band should have delayed the tour for a year or brought in Neil/Mike. I can see both sides of the debate. On the one hand, Lindsey has been the main creative force for the band since 1975. On the other hand, the band members are getting older and there's no guarantee that all will be healthy a year from now. And it sounds like plans for a 2018-19 tour were already in place and rescheduling a big tour is very difficult.

That's a very interesting point about Mike getting called on Feb 1. Then it comes down to the video posted above which I've watch many times. Where did he say that he was going to tour with Fleetwood Mac. I hear him saying that he is putting out new material and a "best of" and mumbled some stuff about touring. Isn't it possible that he was discussing the Fleetwood Mac tour with the band in January and was pushing the band to move the tour back a year? And perhaps at the time of the video, things weren't finalized in his mind? And then Mick finally gave up and called Mike Campbell on February 1? Or perhaps he was calling Mike to "feel him out" to see if he would be agreeable to join if Lindsey wouldn't honor his commitment to tour in 2018.
