Tributes to Christine

people have posted videos and had them taken down (apparently by the Grammys)

here's one still up

Not a fan of the piano intro... sounds like half of it is missing

[cbBen]

He left them several outs (you never know, stranger things, etc) but really interesting to hear Mick be that definitive about the band no longer carrying on. The perpetual FM cheerleader knows that it would be a hard sell to push Fleetwood Mac without any Mac in it.

Also amusing that he mentioned Lindsey second. And disconcerting that he didn’t mention John at all - I really hope John is healthy and just living out his days on his boat enjoying life.

It was nothing to do with lack of rehearsal. Bonnie is just a more emotionally evocative singer than is Sheryl (and I like Sheryl). It was lovely as it was, but would have been better with Bruce Hornsby on piano and Bonnie singing the whole song herself.

[SteveMacD]

Where does he mention Lindsey and say the band is over? Not in the two interview clips above, right? Is it somewhere else?

Or, just have Bonnie on piano. She’s a piano player, too. That’s her on “Nick of Time” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”

Bonnie is another white woman who was just at home singing and playing the blues as she was AOR pop. I could see them being friends.

She might not have sang it as well if she had to play it too.

I found the YT interview where Mick announces the end of the band. Surprising he would announce as much so straightforwardly, but he must know John is retired – and without a McVie you can't have Fleetwood Mac.

Thanks for posting this. He says Fleetwood Mac is DONE. Chris said it years ago yet she got taken to the wood shed for those comments.

[John Run]

When I hear Mick’s we’re done statement, while sad, I agree with it. Then I hear the “well never say never” equivocation, I am reminded of this Don Henley quote from late 2016. Likely even more salient for individuals and entities who have a history of miscalculating their debt to income ratio.

Yeah, somewhere Irving Azoff was smirking when he saw that comment from Mick last night. The question Would be, can FM be considered viable with just Mick and Stevie (and add in whomever else for the hypothetical)? Eagles still had Henley, Walsh, and Schmidt…and the bonus of Frey’s son being added to soften things. Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey, John, and Christine is a tougher sell IMO even with Finn and Campbell again. Not to mention, it’s 7 years later. That’s a long time when the principles are mid-70’s.

Thank you for sharing this, I would have never found that. Errrr....not sure what to think. I'm sure they all had good intentions but not a fan of the drum, or the Sheryl/ Bonnie combo. I think Bonnie alone at the piano playing Songbird by herself would have been more effective. BUT...at least Christine got the spotlight while they did that "in memoriam" section so that's cool. JMHO

[jbrownsjr]

I will say Bonnie was incredible. I would have loved to see just Ms. Raitt and the piano.

Extremely grateful Christine was on that screen ... The music world realizes we lost Fleetwood Mac, and Thank the stars above that she was the face of Fleetwood Mac. I'm proud that Mick put that together.

I think they learned on some level in 2018 it was a tougher sell, even then.

[BigAl84]

I thought they all did a great job. Sheryl's vocal didn't strike me as off, but it sorta sounded like she may have fumbled her piano arrangement in the beginning. It all clicked a little bit better when Bonnie came in and the piano part was a bit closer to the original.

#throwup emoji - and unfortunately, we know that's probably the case. hope Mick's money holds up and he doesn't succumb to yet another monstrosity, like Eagles cannot resist, apparently.

with all the scandals of TM/LN monopoly that Azoff had a major hand in creating.....

Fleetwood Mac died 11/30/22. Let FM rest in peace.

[HomerMcvie]

Fleetwood Mac died 11/30/22. Let FM rest in peace.

It actually died when the old goat got Lindsey fired. But as of 11/30, there IS NOW NO RETURN.

[BombaySapphire3]

Fleetwood Mac died 11/30/22. Let FM rest in peace.

Absolutely..however and sadly it all depends on how financially solvent Mick is .We have already seen that he will do almost anything for $$ when the chips are down. He left an opening in his spiel yesterday that could lead one to believe he may try to milk Fleetwood Mac to it's last drop.

[sleepless child]

It really was. "Put to bed" as he said. Interesting that he mentioned Stevie, Lindsey, Neil, and Mike continuing to perform but not John:distress:

I also focused in on that quote. I wonder if the demise of FM isn't more to do with John being done. Stevie, Lindsey and the rest could come and go, but not John. I think him saying he's finished would really be the end.

[GypsySorcerer]

Sheryl posted that there were some technical difficulties with the piano:

Bonnie's part was lovely. Sheryl not so much, but I think the piano threw her off.

Now that I think about it, Christine would have done a lovely cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me."

thanks for sharing - glad she posted this - exactly how it sounded "At one point, the piano in our ears was in a different key than what I was playing!" - like they both were off-key with the piano and trying to figure out how to get back on key.

[John Run]

Well if you believe the Lindsey centric view of Fleetwood Mac, the band was ready to carry on without John when he got sick, so a substitute bass player would be no big deal to Mick if that scenario has validity.

I wonder if deep down Mick resents Lindsey for suing the band? That suit took $3 million, plus fees, out of the pockets of each John, Stevie, Christine, and Mick. (I doubt it impacted Neil and Mike and their agreed upon wage) So despite all the warm words between the two, money is money and that hit Mick where it hurts.

I don' think there will ever be a massive tour, but could Azoff convince them for goodbye stadium dates in LA, Chicago, NYC, London? Maybe?

As for the viability of Fleetwood Mac with just Stevie and Mick, as long Stevie fronts the band they could play with cardboard cutouts supported by the ghosts of Lindsey's 2015 wall of samplers and tracks playing all the other sounds and all would be fine with the majority of fandom. Would Azoff, be motivated by forcing the money higher, by the reunion of Stevie and Lindsey, well that is a wildcard...

Never doubt greed and gluttony.

[nicepace]

Is the actual "Songbird" performance on line? I'd like to take a look at it, if anyone has a link they can share.

I was wondering where you you got the $3 million each figure from. I believe Lindsey sued for $14 million, saying that’s what he expected to have earned if he had toured with FM. I figure he got something close to what you said, I was just curious if you saw that number somewhere.

I don’t think Mick resents Lindsey for suing. I suspect none of the members really lost anything, per se, if the settlement was just taken from the tour, as opposed to each one having to withdraw money to give to him. I believe Lindsey has forgiven Mick, which in turn hopefully had an impact on Mick.

I also don’t think Stevie would have any interest in touring with a new version of FM, or even one with Lindsey returning. Stevie can still sing her FM songs solo, and no longer have to deal with FM, especially with Christine gone. Mick clearly loves being on the road, as evident by his (jokingly?) asking if anyone needed a drummer, and I hope something comes his way.

Maybe Mick and Keith might give him a ring, and they could ask for John as well.

I would love everything about that collaboration! Mick has a totally different approach than Charlie and I’m not sure how it would all gel…and I think the Stones are pretty well set with Steve Jordan playing with them until they stop…but I would pay to see it!

I thought Kenny Jones would’ve been a good choice given his Faces connection with Ron Wood and because he was the drummer on “It’s Only Rock & Roll.”

As with most civil cases there is a settlement. You aim big and then settle. If he sued and alleged 14 million in damages, I bet the settlement was definitely over 4 million but under 9 million. I have no personal knowledge of this particular settlement just going off a typical civil case.
I believe John was referring the cost to the band. The band had to defend themselves in court and hired big gun attorneys and work out a settlement not including the payout. Lindsey was definitely paid a good amount which hurt the profits of the rest of the members.

That sounds reasonable. It was mentioned here that a few months ago Lindsey purchased a house for his wife to remodel, so that makes me think he got closer to $9 million than $4 million, but it’s still big bucks, whatever the final amount was. He deserved it, he was expecting that income. And settling was cheaper in the long run for the band because if they’d gone to trial, that would have cost them tons more PLUS they would have lost anyway, and probably paid even more in damages.

[dougl]

And Bonnie worked with Christine, so there was presumably a lot of respect and sympathy between them.

[DownOnRodeo]

I loved this bit from Sheryl regarding the technical issues. So true and easy to visualize.

Needless to say, I was disappointed but Mick and I decided after the performance that perhaps Christine might be up there sipping champaign and giggling, having been a keyboard player herself. ❤️

If he did sue for around $14 million, divide that by the 4 of them that's a little over $3million each of them didn't get to keep from the tour but instead had to payout to him.

[bombaysaffires]

yes it totally sounded like half the piano (ie one hand) was not there...

The rumour I heard swirling around is that he got 7 million. Pure rumor and speculation. We probably will never know. Regardless, thats a big chunk of coin. It's still probably less than he would have made on the tour. His lawyer had to get paid too. The irony of greed and wanting to maximize profit with keeping Stevie in the band is confusing in that they did not consider breach of contract before such a move. Besides the legacy issue no one had the guts to confront the band, Stevie and her management to tell her.......the band will be in breach of contract for such a move and Lindsey will be paid anyway.

[SteveMacD]

I am 99.999999% certain that they knew Lindsey was going to sue them. Irving and Mick have been defendants before many times. That’s also why I’m convinced legal was telling them what to say early on in the interviews.

I liked Sheryl and Bonnie version of Songbird. Of course I can't compare with Christine's versions.
I didn't find Mick's percussion part necessary, but he looked very sad and it was very touching.

Jeff Beck was once asked in an interview, who his favorite singer was.

When Rod sings his pop songs now, they don't sound that great. But when he sings this song, he really soars.

James Brown called Rod the best white soul singer. Springsteen said he wished he was blessed with Rod and Bob Seger's voice. I like Bob's voice but I find Rod has an elegance factor too on stuff like Downtown Train, Reason To Believe, Handbags and Gladrags, and This Old Heart of Mine

[aleuzzi]

One of my favorite Rod vocals is on a song from the Jeff Beck Group’s album TRUTH, called “Let Me Love You.” It’s an absolute banger, kind of like a brother tune to Christine Perfect’s “I Want You”—

I think about that a lot, too. even though she was almost 80, it felt like she was ageless to us, i guess. i still feel peace knowing john was with her. but sometimes i still cry hearing certain songs or hearing her voice in interviews or seeing certain pictures. i liked knowing she was in the world.

I was on a gay cruise ship and they played nothing but current hits. All of the sudden at one of the pool parties on the top deck, LITTLE LIES comes on. It was extremely loud so I couldn't avoid it. Everyone else's voice became muted and Christine was all I could hear. Of course, I was getting tears behind my sunglasses. But also, I've never heard that song in such a way before. Hard to explain. But, it was the best I've ever taken in LITTLE LIES and the meaning behind her words.

[Karlie]

Last week I went to a Fleetmac Wood rave and they did a beautiful Christine tribute with "Why" and a slideshow of photos of her. Imagine a huge room filled with hundreds of rolling club kids suddenly quieting down and coming together to collectively mourn their beloved songbird. It was truly magical, and it was also comforting to see that so many others miss her too.


Side note: If you haven't experienced Fleetmac Wood before and they come to your area, GO! It was so fun and the happiest I've felt since November. Nothing but dance remixes of FM and Mac-adjacent songs all night - and between the expected hits they throw in a good number of deeper cuts for the diehards (a few I remember from this one: "Got A Hold On Me," "I Don't Mind," John Stewart's "Gold," a couple Peter Green songs that weren't the 3 that most people know.)

That's because $he can phony up whatever emotions $he needs to.

After all, they were best friends. :lol:

I have no interest in defending Stevie, we all know her weak points, to say the least. but I think this time her tears are real.

I have a friend that I consider my best friend, since the 90s (both he and his wife are my best friends). They have not lived in Peru for 2 decades, and although we don't keep in touch so frequently, I still consider them my best friends. Each time they come to Peru or I go to Chile, it's like time hasn't passed.

I hope Stevie, now that Fleetwood Mac is definitely over, she realizes what Claire Foy said in "Dear Mrs. Kennedy" The Crown episode: That's the thing about unhappiness. All it takes is for something worse to come along and you realize it was actually happiness after all.
