KB has alluded on Twitter that the band is attempting to settle rather than go to court. While not surprising it does go against the strong talk initially made by the band.

right, people were discussing in the other thread what KB's tweet may mean, and seems the consensus is that the band offered to settle.

here's that tweet again, to have it all contained in a single thread:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">So it seems they weren’t looking forward to their day in court...duh

Oh my goodness. Big lies, little love. That's beautiful.

Listen, I had endless fun mocking Kristen's pear display in the past, but she has really gained my admiration.

I realize that a settlement with BOTH sides agreeing not to disparage the other is good for everyone involved. They should negotiate this and keep everything confidential. That is the logical thing to do, BUT I can't deny that I will feel a tad of disappointment when that happens. I wanted a cathartic airing.

I agree. I get why someone in his position would want to sue. Not only were you done dirty by people you've known for decades, but you were denied a huge chunk of cash that I'm sure would've been very helpful for a family with a bunch of college-age kids.
But I still kinda wish it hadn't happened.

My main hope is that a settlement would at least lift the ban on communication between Lindsey and the others.....I'm sure all the bridges with Mick, Stevie and, maybe, John have been burned, but I'm hoping both the silence and lawsuit were things that had to include everyone, more likely not by choice, and that Lindsey and Christine can renew their musical friend/partnership.

No surprise. I predicted this on the board day one. Most of these cases settle. We probably will never know the amount but I will guess. My hunch is 7-8 million range. After lawyers Lindsey will walk away with about 5-7 million.
I do expect everyone to go silent during the settlement talks. On Lindsey's tour, after the lawsuit was announced, Lindsey did not even say the words Fleetwood Mac on stage.

Are we sure a settlement is what that rather cryptic tweet was a reference to? Could potentially be a lot of things: motion to dismiss, continuance, rescheduling a court date etc. Perhaps someone around here knows the ins and outs of the CA court system and could let us know if there is any updated information on where the suit stands currently.

Yes. Like I said is the case still on the docket? If so then this is nothing more than hot air right now.

And of course just because there may or may not be an offer on the table doesn't mean it's a good one. I have to imagine they would try to low-ball him at first. My guess is this thing is probably still far from settled, but hopefully we're on the right track.

yes, it seems like it would be a stretch to think her tweet indicates everything is fully and finally settled, but rather that the process itself is going on in a manner that is contradictory to what the band had publicly declared, i.e. that it's not coming down to a day (figuratively) in court but rather ongoing negotiations between the parties. "Can't we settled this outside of court?"

I haven't commented too much on this whole fiasco, as I've lost a fair bit of respect for the band's management skills. I wish beyond hope that they would somehow put all this aside, hug one another, and truly apologise and forgive each other... and welcome Lindsey back into the fray. I don't see how that could be (I mean hey, Chris came back and it always seemed somewhat possible for her to do so)… but this scenario feels like it's gone too far and that Lindsey would never return to the ranks. :(

The band of my life is nearing the end, so how much longer did we have, anyway? Well, maybe a (very) few years? But someone f*cked that up. It's going to be too late, now.

"Can't we settled this outside of court?"

I see the motivation behind the tweet as being a deserved response to the obnoxious "We look forward to our day in court" statement, a statement that (even though it was most certainly contrived by the lawyers with zero input from actual band members) implied a clear subtext of not only "We are in the right and he is in the wrong" but also "Lindsey is a liar." Even if the statement was a standard flourish for litigation tactics, the message it sent to the world served as yet another misrepresentation and denegration of Lindsey's position (just like Stevie's fake news broadcast on national TV in saying that "one of us wanted to wait a year" to go on the road).

I do not want them to ever re unite. It's getting to be a joke. Christine's voice is more then shot now, sorry to say. Stevie and Lindsey can still hold their own on stage but after this tour is over it would be another few years (if they were to reconcile and I don't see that happening) and they would be in their 80's.

i think John's email response to him was actually a respectable thing to do. he answered, and basically gave him a heads up. so LB and John i don't think will have a real problem. and it sounds like he and Chris won't either.

with Mick and Stevie, seems like it will depend on them. i will probably never understand how forgiving LB can be towards them. i guess therapy, meditation, etc help a lot. i'll stay angry for him! :lol:

I think John is less guilty in all this mess than Christine. At least he answered Lindsey's calls. She should have answered too and told him she wasn't allowed to talk instead of playing innocent on that CBS interview saying: "I didn't know what was going on. I was in England".

Tough to deny when they are stepping in it every time they opened their mouths. But you are so right Elle. I think I am in the minority, but I do hold Christine as accountable as the rest of them. Although LB's comment that she was fragile is interesting, she's a big girl, playing in the big leagues, she needs to own this. John doesn't speak so it is what it is. Stevie and Mick will own it. Oh they will spin a tale that GPS and The Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz collectively couldn't help you follow, but they will own it. This is the band of my life. If it wasn't so sad, I'd be lapping the drama up. But I can't. It really is disgusting.

Okay, where did I miss that John had communicated with Lindsey and that Lindsey called Christine fragile? Like Brandon, I’ve been severely limiting my Mac news these days.

I know it’s my hopeless romantic nature, but I see a crack of hope in these developments. Stevie has shown her dominance, Lindsey has gotten his break from the cash grab, and undeniably all have experienced a paradigm shift. Certainly could make for one blowout farewell tour... almost so perfect as to be planned. Certainly shakes off the staleness that had set in!

I'm still unclear just what LB meant when he described Christine as "fragile"...

Stuff with her hands and the erosion of her voice make the idea that he means physically fragile seem like a real possiblility... Also Stevie telling her she needs to get a trainer and all that if she really wanted to come back is a bit more interesting in light of the word "fragile"... but stamina-wise it would seem Chris has been holding up, I mean she did a whole tour with LB and now again with FM.... which brings it back to being reference to her voice and ability to play onstage (which is different to playing in a studio)...:shrug:

If he means something else, like emotionally fragile.... I haven't seen any real signs of that in interviews and things... and she wrote a bunch of songs and seems relatively productive which again doesn't seem to indicate mental decline....:shrug:

I just took it as him trying to let her off the hook for what happened, and as a way to let her know that he's still good with her. The term "fragile" might actually be a word that was used by Mick or management and LB was throwing it back at them almost mockingly.

I'm sure when he was talking to Azoff he asked if Chris was onboard with this decision, it wouldn't be shocking if Azoff said something to that effect as to why Chris wasn't consulted on the matter.

John was the only one who responded to his e-mails (out of the people he did send an e-mail to, not sure how many of them it was), and John's response was something on the lines of "I'm not supposed to talk to you". Presumably for legal reasons. That was pretty much the extent of John's communication.

Christine's voice is more then shot now, sorry to say.

Sometimes it is, other times it's still quite tuneful and tonally warm. On a number of performances (in October) of "All Over Again" she sounded fantastic and, when duetting with Nicks, far more tuneful (though with less volume and theatrical effects).

However, her vocals in the recent Canadian shows were awful. But then this back-and-forth with her live voice has been fairly consistent with her throughout her career.

She remains the only one of the three who still sounds fantastic and authentic in the studio. Whatever machinery is helping her, she manages to sound like she used to. Not so with Nicks or Buckingham.

I'd prefer Christine spend her remaining time doing studio albums.

11-20-2018, 12:46 PM

I think she’s psychologically fragile. I think those years living in isolation took a toll on her. Since coming back, she’s sold the mansion, sold her condo, and moved into a busy London neighborhood and has made a point of staying in situations where she’s working or amongst people.

Legal fees would cost the band just as much if not more than their likely settlement amount. I'm not pretending to know the settlement amount, I just know lawyer/"attorneys" are mighty expensive, especially in the USofA.

To the contrary, I’m guessing no one in the band is involved in settlement talks and that it’s only lawyers communicating with each other. The lawyers might consult the parties they represent for authority purposes but I doubt anyone in the band is meeting face to face. The band would be more likely to run into each other if they did take this to court but that would be both expensive and time-consuming. Settling is the quickest, easiest way to cut ties with Lindsey, sadly. And whatever they would pay him would be a fraction of defense costs if they chose to defend themselves in court.

I don’t like KB tweeting or instagramming about this case. It feels tacky and even though the band probably could not even name the main social media sites collectively, it makes me respect them more for not stooping to that level. This post makes her seem greedy to me, as though all she hoped for out of this lawsuit is money.

You can see online they have been served, which is amusing to me. I like to imagine them being personally served with process and humiliated while at dinner, but their lawyers probably accepted service for them.

Normally, they would have to answer within 30 days of service. That can be extended. But if we don’t see an answer filed we will probably see some sort of stipulation filed by both parties and that would suggest they are putting a stay on litigation pending settlement negotiations.

The relevant part of this article:


Buckingham also revealed that he hasn't spoken to any member of the band since his firing almost a year ago.

"I have had, only in the last couple of weeks, I have gotten an email, which I expected to get, from Christine McVie," he said. Buckingham and McVie recorded an album together last year and went on tour.

"She wrote me an email and basically said, 'Dearest Lindsey, just know that I had nothing to do with any of this. Know that I miss you so much.' She said, 'I believe deep in Stevie's heart that she would like you to come home,'" Buckingham said.

He believes it could mean Nicks may have already gotten over what happened earlier this year.

"That maybe, underneath everything, Stevie would like to see me back already, that maybe she feels ambivalent about what's going on. This could just be Christine expressing wishful thinking or expressing something she thinks will make me feel better," he said.

Buckingham said he's open to getting back with Fleetwood Mac but isn't expecting a reunion.


Personally, I don't care about a reunion with Lindsey and the rest of the Rumours 5. I have no interest in anything Stevie might be doing, musically or otherwise. I do, however, strongly wish for a Buckingham McVie II. The email Christine sent to Lindsey, reaching out to him, bodes well for such a reunion.

he told us at multiple meet and greets that we have to forgive them. most of the fans arfe telling him that he's way too nice and "don't you dare go back to wasting your time with them!" and "i'll hold the grudge for ya!" :nod: he told us it was never about the money for him and that he would never take them to the cleaners.

good for him though, it is way healthier to forgive and be at peace. as long as he doesn't go back to FM. BuckVie 2? sure. Christine is still forward thinking and creative and they have such nice rapport. him almost crying when talking about FM as a home? awwww :xoxo:

The $$$$$ Mick will move the majority towards a reunion tour, LB would agree, John will agree, Chris will agree, Azoff will talk sense into Stevie. She’ll be over Toms death and me too by then. And Azoff won’t let it go because it’ll mean a several million for him if he pulls it off.

Not only a live album but a mega tour....with $1,000 front row packages available.

Absolutely that's the standard FM dinosaur rock band MO. However, one small issue, their voices bar Lindsey's are shot. It would almost be sad to watch. Imagine them headlining Glasto or Coachella and Chris hitting bung notes. A Dance style produced album will tidy all that up and preserve their genius.

Would draw inevitable, and quite unfavorable, comparisons to The Dance, which took three months of post-production (no budget for that in today's market).

When would that happen? 3 years from now? So a mega tour starting in 2021 that goes to 2023? Chris will be 80 when it’s over. Not happening. They are all too old to pull this off in another 3 years. THAT would be really sad—-to try and salvage a legacy when you are limping to the stage. C’mon.

If they 'd want him back i'd hope that if he considers it a condition might be some new music, else, no thank you.

An imagining of a "reunion tour" and the five of them on stage ( not counting the back up orchestra and choir here :p ) with, oh shudder, stevie nicks reaching out a hand to him and quipping on and on about how old loves never die etcetera ad nauseum, oooh man, gag-worthy. Please no. :eek::eek::eek:

Let's face it, this was an uncorrectable mistake. Lindsey tried to stop them. I don't think anyone can fix it now.
