Was Lindsey really fired for no reason?

I don't disagree that it was unfair to fire Lindsey after all he has done for the band, but do you honestly believe they would do it for no reason?

Hiring two replacements wouldn't cost twice as much. Who knows, they might even be paying even less to those two.
I don't think money ever really came into consideration other than Mick nearly having a heart attack when Stevie threatened not to tour. This is Mick's last big payday.

I doubt that. These guys aren’t like the 87-95 folks. Why would they do this for less than what they could make outside of the band? They aren’t up and comers, sidemen, or washed up/burned out has-beens.
