Haha, I thought the same thing. Wasn't that VH1 interview in NY in 2004?

Yep! And she appeared on another show, I think, as well as a few US radio programmes.

I'm also glad she is getting out and getting together with her old friends.

I hope she will do something with the band for good ole time sake.

If it has to do with her fear of flying.My problem is air sickness and motion sickness.I rather drive and see our beautiful country but I'll fly if I have too.

I don't know; don't think so. I remember hearing one of the US radio shows via a link in 04. They played the iTunes exclusive acoustic version of Friend and Chris said she hadn't heard it before!

Me too. I'm terrified of flying. I CAN do it if I have to, but I HATE it. My rule is, if it's 1000 miles or less, my happy ass is driving it!

I love to go out west to see it and taking in some Stevie/FM shows like some of you Ledgies have done.It would take me ages to get there if I drive out there because I probably be stopping every hour on the way.

Yes for the last 25 plus years is getting stale traveling in my 300 plus miles radius to the same venues.I like to see some place new.

In the meantime I hope something will come up for us with Christine and rest of the FM family.

Mick Fleetwood: 'Rumours is who we are’

Quote:

McVie retired in 1998, and though relationships remain strong she has made it clear she does not wish to be involved any more.

“I’ve had to agree to stop asking her,” notes Fleetwood, with a guilty smile.

There’s bands out there, usually a bunch of guys, who don’t give a ---- about each other. They just come to an arrangement. We can’t do that! We’re all ex-lovers, so we don’t have that corporate, guy thing where it’s just 'get the job done’. I think it bodes in our favour that, in a funny, shaky way, there is some integrity. We do actually love each other, for real. Unfortunately. ’Cause it’s tough.”


Eagles, anyone?

Here in the UK a lot of big name artists often appear on ITV doing a 1 hour 'special' of their greatest hits. Rod Stewart, The Bee Gees, Neil Diamond and many more have done it in recent years.

I'd love it if Fleetwood Mac did one with Christine returning as a one off (although obviously would love her to do some shows with them too) - I could see this show doing really well and having a similar impact to The Dance reunion. She wouldn't have to travel far either:D

Oh, Mick and Stevie will make sure she and Lindsey meet. They just don't want to say anything.

seems like Mick is dialing it back on the whole Christine thing. This was posted in another thread

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/m...cle3680264.ece

Only Christine McVie, who left the band in 1998, is staying away. She’s been leading a reclusive, distinctly non-rock’n’roll life in a Kent farmhouse ever since, having no involvement with Fleetwood Mac and never giving interviews — until now.

“We were very hedonistic,” says McVie, recalling the band’s reputation for excess in the fond manner of someone remembering high jinks at school. “But it was always fun because we never got into heroin or anything like that. If you got too high you had a drink, and if you got too drunk you had another line of coke. We did that every night until three or four in the morning. It was different back then. Once you made it you were completely nurtured in this little world.”

Why did she leave the band? “After I took my 95,000th flight something snapped. I became terrified of flying and I couldn’t face living out of a suitcase any more.”

So it comes as a further surprise to hear that, two days after our interview, she’s flying to Fleetwood’s house in Maui, Hawaii, before traveling to Los Angeles to meet the rest of the band as they rehearse for a world tour.

“No, no, no,” says Mick Fleetwood, the band’s genial, pony-tailed giant of a drummer, when I ask him if McVie will actually return to complete Rumour’s two-warring-couples dynamic that, in Buckingham’s words, “brought out the voyeur in everyone”. “We love her, we miss her, but no. She’s left. Still, she’s a huge part of our story and I certainly hope that when we tour in September and October she makes one little excursion to a gig.”

Okay. But give up the tour idea and just ask her to record with you!!!!!

I'd love that, but feel the rest of the band burned that bridge when they excluded her from SYW because she didn't want to tour. Which was pathetic, really. She couldn't be on the album because she wouldn't be on the tour to play her new material. Because FM plays new material. :laugh:

Eagles, anyone?

This is pretty much exactly what Lindsey said a few weeks ago about the Eagles, so it seems to be a safe bet that's who Mick has in mind although he's wise enough to avoid naming names. Smart move considering they share the same management now.

I'm glad Mick is backing away from the assertion that Christine could very well join them on tour if he worked on her a bit. He was getting a lot of people's hopes up prematurely.
