I was just wondering who represents Christine in a management capacity now that John Courage has passed away? A little digging suggests Christine is now represented by the same company as Mick; Suretone Entertainment. This is the management company run by Carl Stubner who managed Mick through Say You Will. Moreover, the Suretone client roster lists Fleetwood Mac as a seperate entity to Chris and Mick. This is a bit confusing as I was under the impression Fleetwood Mac had been collectively managed by Irving Azoff for the last couple of years- hence the private gig earlier this year. I guess Lindsey is still represented by Tony Domitriades. Stevie used to be managed by Howard Kaufman/Frontline but I dont know whether she is also now personally represented by Irving Azoff.
Anyway, with Chris and Mick represented by the same people and John seemingly not represented by anyone I was thinking this (hopefully) forthcoming record would be the easiest one to put out for a long time once its ready.
Any thoughts?
Lindsey is represented by Azoff and has been since at least 2011 if not before.

I see. So the negotiations for a Mick, Chris, John and Lindsey album would be Suretone, Suretone, Azoff. I don't know whether John would fall into line with Mick and Chris or represent himself. I wonder how it would work from a negotiation position if Stevie wasn't involved- I suppose she just simply wouldn't involved.

My guess I John will go with the flow. Only a couple times n Mac history did he, according to Mick, potentially stall the recording process: once was during the recording of Penguin, when he wanted to go to Paris as they were recording it and then lay down his bass parts later; the other was Tango in the Night, where he wasn't "feeling" the record at first. In both cases, Mick persuaded him to come around.
I'm not surprised at all that Christine has chosen Mick's manager. She doesn't see herself as a star and tends to act with a low profile.
I am hoping hoping hoping that progress towards the new music is actually happening.

I thought Christine was managed by Martin Wyatt. Or, was he just managing her affairs while she was retired?

I believe it was when her 2004 solo album came out.
