Will Sharon Celani join the band this tour?
 

I guess so, she has been on the road with Stevie since when.. mid 80s?
who else will be with them as backup singers?

Jana and Lori I would guess.

I was wondering about Lori. She wasn't on the SYW tour. I know they said that it was too long a commitment for her to be away from her daughter and that's not a factor now. But I wondered if that was the reason she wasn't on the SYW tour anyway.

Michele

Maybe there was too much drama going on with she and Chris? Anyway, since she's been back out with Stevie since SYW, I'm guessing she'll be there for this tour.

'81.
My guess is Sharon and Lori will both be present and probably Jana.

I would love to see Sharon and Lori come out with them, like the old days. Jana can stay home. Not to be mean, but she's never been my "cup of tea"...

Yeah I bet Sharon will be there. Along with many others. I wonder if Taku will be there? He wasn't with Lindsey on the GOS tour.

I would say Stevie doesn´t go far from Sharon at any time. Certainly, Sharon will be there is my guess. Taku should be there. He rocked! Don´t you think

Lori, Sharon, & Jana.

Taku won't be touring, as he is still performing with Bette Midler in Vegas.

oh, so sad.. Taku Hirano really rocks. He ruled in the Stand Back performance of the Boston dvd

I think it's amazing when I watch Sharon Celani on stage now, how polished she looks. She's got it all down to a science. Compare it to how nervous she looked on the 'White Winged Dove Tour' video. I think her voice has always added a special something to Stevie's sound, and I think if the day ever came that Stevie did a solo recording and Sharon wasn't on it, I would be missing her very much and feel like something essential was gone.

FOR REAL! What is the name of the guy who does the percussion pit for Stevie on her solo shows and on the Dance? Cause he was great and looked really cool in those old school Ray-Bans... LOL

That's Lenny Castro.

I think he is with Bette Midler

She did a little gig with the Osmonds last year. It is on there DVD.
She does a little dancing with Marie.

?

Lori's never been in Fleetwood Mac.

:shrug: Lori & Sharon have toured with Fleetwood Mac since 1987. Elisecia Wright, too.

The Tango tour was the only Fleetwood Mac tour that Lori was in.

Personally, I'd love to see Lori and Sharon with them -- with one 60-year-old and one 59-year-old doing all the singing, some vocal support could be helpful, especially as they get into the homestretch of the tour.

Chris, on the other hand, was still sounding strong when she decided to call it quits as far as touring. More's the pity....:(

That reminds me of Lindsey on DR saying that towards the end of the show (think he was talking bout Come) he'd just push a button and have a machine insert the high notes for him.

Michele

Well, Lori, Sharon and Chris aren't exactly spring chickens either...

I think he was joking when he said that ... or wasn't he?

He was joking when he said that. Which was cute, because Stevie thought it was funny and she said, "Lindseeeeeee . . ."

But fast forward 5 years down the line and maybe not so much.

Michele

That's true.

Really...he certainly used tracks on the GOS tour...

I would sing back up for Stevie Any Day
 

I would sing back up for Stevie any day. She is probably one of the only people I would even consider singing back up for!

I am right there with you. I figure, the night of my show, I am gonna show up with a tambourine and be like- "Where do ya want me?" LOL

Information regarding Jana Anderson

She just released a solo album not too long ago and she has tour dates this summer - so I think it is safe to say she will NOT be joining FM

However - I looked at Jana's dates - and some of them are at the same date and place that FM will be there - so maybe Jana will be an opener? There are some shows where she is by herself so I dunno - I can't see her singing backup with FM - maybe it'll just be Lori and Sharon this time around.

taku is not going to be on this tour he told me on facebook that they are not having a percussionists on this tour thats what he said my guess if they do maybe lenny castro but according to him no percussionists on this tour which is weird.:blob1: and Sharon and Lori have been with Stevie since 1980 recording with stevie and touring with stevie except for lori on some tours after she had jessica she missed a few tours but I am sure it will be Sharon and Lori and Jana on this tour.

I had a chance to send a message to Lori Nicks and she responded very quickly, like a half hour later! I couldn't believe it but she said thank you for all the compliments and that she was happy to have been able to tour with Stevie all these years and was looking forward to the upcoming tour with Mac.. so I think its safe to say she WILL be there!:blob1:
:D I also dropped a hint that us fans would loooove to hear a BN song thrown in... I wonder if she'll pay any attention to that????

Oh, that's great news! (to me, anyway...) If Lori's there, I think there's a good chance Sharon will be there, too. At the risk of sounding sacreligious, I'd like to see Lori & Sharon on stage right, on the hallowed ground where Chris used to be. :eek: Yes, seriously. Okay, maybe a bit further back. And I'd love to have them come up to Stevie's microphone and have the 3 women sing the soft version of "Leather & Lace" that's floating around youtube somewhere. (With Lindsey on the accoustic guitar). I know it's not a Mac song, but I think some liberties will have to be taken. :rolleyes:
