Hopefully.

And let's not forget Irving's official statement after Lindsey's interviews about his firing:

“While I understand it’s challenging for Lindsey to accept his own role in these matters and far easier for him to blame a manager, the fact remains that his actions alone are responsible for what transpired. Frankly, If I can be accused of anything, it’s perhaps holding things together longer than I should have. After 2018 when Fleetwood Mac evolved with their new lineup, my continued work with the band was due entirely to the fact I’ve been aligned with Stevie Nicks in thought and purpose from the earliest of days. While financial gain was not a motivator for me, it was a delightful bonus that the band scored their highest grossing tour ever, without Lindsey.”

She’d never want another “name” on stage with her, at least not every night/all night.

The question is Why did she never asked him. I'm sure if she had he would have accepted immediately. $

Guy can't keep his story straight until the sentence has even ended.

Mick is trying to raise money for Hawaii. I wonder why he doesn't ask Lindsey to come and play with him at a benefit concert. That would be great

I don't see any risk on Mick's being every night behind her. He is not enough great to steal her thunder. I rather think they could actually talk about it but he expected more money than they offered and nothing came at the end. But, of course all of this are just speculations.

My guess is Stevie didn’t want to blur the lines between her solo career and Fleetwood Mac.

Plus, Mick has always been Fleetwood Mac’s loudest cheerleader, so there would have been constant pressure within the tour for Stevie to get back to Fleetwood Mac.

With the band over, I could see her bringing him on after she’s saturated the market.

That's borderline cruel. It just is.

The guy has one of the most punchable faces. An absolutely miserable human being.

So(not) ironic that he managed(s) Glenn Frey and Don Henley. Two of the most miserable people that ever breathed oxygen.

Yeah, just speaks to how caring and concerned Irv must have been about Lindsey's solo career when he was managing him or how much he actually cared about Fleetwood Mac's career, other than how it benefitted Stevie.

Again, why Lindsey ever hired this man to be his manager is beyond me.

Right? Irving was gonna make $50 off of Lindsey. Why would he mess with him?

I just always assumed it was a way to consolidate his Fleetwood Mac power. When exactly did he become Lindsey’s manager anyway?
