Now I know Rusty would like to
inform on the Mirage Deluxe Set.
Specifically on the CD that is the
Mirage Concert. On whether or
not Sister Of The Moon has
the same edit as the video. But
I told my pal to keep it to himself.
For right now.

What a character that Rusty is.

Just to clarify, does "in the can" mean complete with all songs by all members, including Stevie?

Thanks!

No. This is iamnotafraid just poking fun at the situation. There is zero corroborated evidence that Fleetwood Mac has done any recording in the past two years.

"In The Can" could mean garbage can...Could be when they went and listened to what was recorded 2 years ago they realized it really was not that good and decided to scrap the whole project.

Ooooo.....I think you may have something there, that's why we haven't heard a peep from them about a new album!!!!
Well not for ages, anyway.

I doubt this. The music is probably quite good. We know the reason why the music is not finished. It's sad sad sad sad. The whole affair is just sad.

And another thing: the promise of new music was the one thing that excited me about the reunion. Now, without any clear prospects of it coming out, I just want Christine to do another solo album, like she'd planned to do before rejoining. It would have been out by now.

And the reason is...Their bank accounts are more important than their artistic integrity...
If the (new) music was more important than $$$$ and it was really that good (as LB said profound) they would have finished the album and released it and then toured in support of it. Did they do that? No they did not.
Personally I wonder just how good the new songs are...
Because...
It doesn't sound like they have any faith in them (new songs) because if they did the band would be willing to stand behind them (new songs) and take whatever steps are required to get them out even if that means NO STEVIE!

Have you heard anything lately about a new FM album coming out? No you have not.
The latest we have heard about FM's future plans are (Another) NEW (cash grab oldies ) TOUR THE END OF 2017 and not "The new album will be out shortly...

In her most recent interview Christine has said she has investment in that new music because so many of the songs are hers. I imagine those songs are at least on par with her work on ITM, which, for me, is more than enough. I just want to hear that. I don't even care anymore if there's a damn Fleetwood Mac album. Just release the LB/CM collaborations.

Did they say the tour will *start late* 2017? If so, i wonder what will happen early 2017.

Thanks to all for your insight!

Mick says October 2017....it's on the Fleetwood Mac UK site. Doesn't mean even THAT will happen. But he's at least talking about a touring schedule. But if there's no new music, I won't support it.

Then i guess the US tour could start early 2017. Yes, new music is imperative.

John and Christine are in their 70s, the others are not far behind them. It could be your last chance to see them. To say "I won't support it without a new album" kinda sounds like a spoiled brat thing to say.

I am starting to worry the new material will see the light next year as part of a mega-box set like The Chain. On the one hand, I just want new material to come out. On the other, it would be really quite sad if it didn't come out as a stand-alone album of its own accord.

It will happen. They just want to release it with the final tour. That's really all it is.
