i highly doubt that. I don’t think Neil cares or has any vested interest in keeping the peace within Fleetwood Mac (which, as he stated, doesn’t even exist anymore). Whereas Mick or Christine (and even Lindsey) always kissed the Queen’s behind, Neil got his paycheck and that chapter was a one and done.

I wonder what line of BS Mick told them in order to get them to sign on the bottom line. There always seems to be a sense of disappointment that eventually surfaces.

I have to hand it to Neil. He’s more honest than anyone else involved in that lineup was willing to be.

I’m guessing Mick or Neale Heywood let Finn know that Lindsey enjoyed NF’s music.
And he’s a gentleman for desiring to have dinner with Lindsey. Even Mike Campbell said he had the utmost respect for Lindsey’s contributions to FM. Stevie seems to be the only person who thinks Lindsey contributed nothing to FM.

And yet she can’t keep his name out of her mouth for ten minutes. She is obnoxious.

Next week she’ll post an Instagram photo of her and Neil Finn at Capital Grille saying it was great to catch up with my best singing partner ever!

I wonder what they signed on the bottom line to get FINANCIALLY.... like, did paying both of them cost the band more than just paying Lindsey?? Did having these two new people coming in and getting a slice reduce what was left for Stevie to take..sorry, I mean for the rest of the band to divvy up??

I'd wager both Mike and Neil were given salaries, not percentages but... how much would they have to get per show to make it worth their while?? And of course, to make up for any added costs, the tour would have to rake in more, either through higher ticket prices, more shows, pricier merch, etc....
