Heartbreakers featuring SN tour brewing?

[ryan4136]

Twitter is heating up with the talk of a tour after the FM tour. Anyone got any leads.

I'm not sure how exactly a "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ft. Stevie Nicks Tour" can happen if Tom Petty is dead. It's not like he's a random band member. He's Tom Petty.

It’s not a TP tour. It’s a SN tour with the HB playing backup featuring some TP songs.

If true she finally gets her wish. Lindsey gone from Fleetwood Mac and she gets a spot in the Heartbreakers. I’d love to be able to hear what Tom Petty would think of all of this.

Rolling in the grave, no doubt. Nothing he can do now to prevent it. She's tarnishing the legacy of both bands.

In my opinion, anything involving "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" is strange to do without Tom Petty himself.

[jkmaletic]

Sounds like garbage to me.

[StreetAngel86]

as if the remaining heartbreakers would actually agree to this nonsense]not to mention how the rest of stevie's solo band would feel

the fact that Tom never wanted her in the band
and now (if this is true ... but it sounds like crap) she's taking his band for herself ... is/would be pathetic.

At first glance this seemed odd. BUT, you know what? I could actually see it happening. In fact, I think there's a good chance. What are Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, and Ron Blair going to do now that Tom is dead? I don't think they'll sit around the house OR become just session players for other artists. The REAL money for dinosaur rock acts is in TOURING. Mike, Ben and Ron know that. I can nearly GUARANTEE that they'll hit the road with someone else (as Mike Campbell has already done).

So, a Stevie Nicks Tour featuring The Heartbreakers. Yes. Would they even bring Stan Lynch back? I could see them doing Stevie Nicks songs with a short Tom Petty set -- "I Need To Know", "Stop Draggin", "Don't Come Around Here No More", "The Waiting", "Breakdown", "You Wreck Me", "Wildflowers", and "Runaway Trains".

Why not just bring in Benmont Tench to be the second keyboardist and have Steve Ferone be the second drummer? Hey, maybe we’d get “Got A Hold On Me” that way.

In all seriousness, a lot can happen between now and then. This tour could be a one-time thing for Fleetwood Mac, or it could lead into something more.

Stan is not a Stevie fan.

Benmont joining the Mac tour.....could happen. She and he are good friends.

I think Stevie would think she is doing a good thing for her friend Mike in his time of need and won't ever see it how many fans are seeing all this. Same if she got Benmont involved. She'd see herself as a kind of savior.

I'm sure she sees herself as a saint. She's delusional, and surrounded by people who do nothing but tell her how wonderful she is.

That kind of isolation reminds me of Wacko Jacko... is it just me?

[Macfan4life]

Many Heartbreaker fans are upset with Mike for joining the Mac. Now he is committed to a very long world tour. Any Heartbreaker tribute is not going to wait.

[button-lip]

Benmont already confirmed is bullsh*t, but who knows.

[TheWildHeart67]

This is not going to happen. Pure speculation
