What's been going on? Catch up

[ViscountViktor]

I've been off this boaed for a long time and haven't followed Stevie or Fleetwood Mac for ages (still listen to their music mind.) Some of you may recognize my username. You probably won't.

Anyway, could someone just explain to me what's been going on recently with Stevie, I see she's touring: what's it been like, what's happening in the future, what happened recently etc.

I've been catching up on some videos of the tour on youtube and it's made me feel so nostalgic, I remember being on this board when 24 Karat was released and the post of the album tracklist from Australia! It's kind of reminded me why I love Stevie so much and I want to get back into all that she's doing, so some help would be nice.

Shame she's not coming to the UK!

Thanks.

Oh man, you couldn't choose a busier moment to catch up...but I guess it's the most interesting moment.
I remember your name though, welcome back!
Basically after wrapping up the tour with Fleetwood Mac Stevie was asked by the band to go in the studio to record the new album with them and probably tour it after it was finished but she instead chose to tour for her solo career. It seems that the band chose to wait for her and in the meantime they are working on their part for the album and/or their other projects (Mick's touring with his blues band that comprehends Joe Walsh)
If you go to the Rumours forum you will see the many complaints about the situation.
If you stay here you will see the many praises of those who are happy about the solo tour and the recent deluxe re-releases of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.
Here is the Masterpost about the tour (Danielle even made a blog all about it): http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=56528

The solo setlist is awesome, she's doing classics, deepcuts and newer songs.

About the future, she said nothing precise for now but I think she'll record 24K Gold part 2, she'll contribute something to the album last minute and she'll return to tour with the Mac but I don't know in which order.

Thanks for that! Congrats on becoming a moderator by the way, last time I was on here you weren't.

I think it's amazing she's performing Wild Heart and Bella Donna, what I would do to see that live!

The FM album doesn't really bother me that much, if Stevie is doing what she loves, ie touring, and she is making everyone happy through her music, then I think that's great!

Thank you!
Yes, I agree with you, after all it was the last and only chance she had to tour 24 K gold and I loved that album.
Don't forget to see Danielle's blog then, in the masterpost she put links to browse for song titles.
