Rumours 5 Event 2023?
 

My spidey sense is telling me that something is brewing for 2023. A Rumours 5 event or shows.

I have nothing to go on but my gut. Anyone else getting that tingling sensation that something is gonna happen?

Sister,
honey, ....... Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
John checked out, Chris said FM was done and has back and health issues, Stevie does not need FM money. Chris pretty much lost her voice

Are you Mick posting in disguise? No no no, you cant disguise. Is all this rubbish just to make Little Lies a hit?

Take another hit undercover music lover

But doesn't it always feel like this? There's no possible way XXXX can happen? Then it does,...

As she gets close to finishing her round of shows, Stevie might say something onstage, like “See you next year with Mac.” But I think she’d vastly prefer to do her own thing from now on, and she’s the linchpin, as we all know.

I'm with Stinky, here. John and Chris are just too old. That's the bottom line.

I was watching the 2018 tour on YouTube last night(the whole concert is on there), and man, Chris is looking so old....and that's 4 years ago. I think they've just aged out of the band. With no Chris, they'd HAVE to bring Lindsey back, and I seriously don't think that will happen. I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN. It's time to call it another lonely day...

If they were all 10 years younger I would say most definitely they would reunite for one last cash grab tour. Chris could not do it. She could not sit and play keyboards and her voice is pretty much gone :( Women lose their voices before men in old age. We saw her struggle with vocals and practically not play keyboards during the last tour and with BuckVie. John was dragged through the last tour. I know Mick and Lindsey would do it without question though.
Getting old sucks. We must appreciate Chris overcoming her fear and coming back to the band for a few more years. Although we all had high hopes for a new album and tour. But we did get Buck/Vie which was a real treat.

At this point, just bill it as “Stevie Nicks featuring Mick Fleetwood” and leave the McVies alone.

They're only reuniting at one of their memorial services. (*)
The best we can hope for is that the four members other than Stevie have an embargo in place against her giving any long speeches. Perhaps a booby-trapped lectern that shoots a tranquilizer at anyone speaking over 10 minutes at a time.


(* Just kidding. John didn't even attend the Peter Green memorial show.)

There's part of me that thinks a Buckingham Nicks tour is still possible. The media would love the drama.

TEN MINUTES??? I think anything over a minute is excessive!

HEY STEVIE, SHUT.THE.F*CK.UP AND PLAY YOUR F*CKING SONGS. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOU BLATHERING ON LIKE AN IDIOT.

Mick did post the other day that he's getting ready for something or getting ready to start talking.

I think they will do 5 shows maybe with the Eagles next year but they'll be with Neil and Mike.

If Lindsey was brought back, I think it would have to be the actual farewell. But I think Stevie would rather have their SalesForce concert be her last gig with FM and she'd once again fire herself before share a stage with Lindsey.

It certainly feels like something is in the works. Mick, Chris, Stevie and Lindsey have all been active on SM with Chris and Mick posting photos of the Rumours 5. I'm predicting 5 stadium gigs and headlining Glasto. Their voices are all shot but Lindsey will sample the **** out of it to at least make it sound like our band. Mike and Neil can stay with their bands and **** right off.

It wouldn't surprise me.

Obviously, never say never with Fleetwood Mac, but I seriously doubt Lindsey will be back. Christine and Mick might want it, but I think Lindsey burned his bridges with Stevie and Irving. After that interview, I can’t see there being any realistic chance of him coming back.

I'm afraid I must agree with this. Mick would be for it of course, and John and Chris would come back for limited shows and big cash, but Stevie won't.

I think if she really, really thought she wanted to do it (and could get them to give her at least 50% of the money -- seriously) she *might* do it... and I think azoff would probably back her on that... recall he said he was 100% aligned with Stevie and always had been. (Which is why I never, ever, ever understood why LB made him his manager.) But that's just playing "what if". It won't go. Not after the response she issued to his comments, where she tiptoed right up to the line of revealing the dirty laundry she'd publicly glossed over for years (her bit about since 1968 and multiple specific incidents)...

$he would probably do it, IF $he could get 50%. JUST. FOR. SPITE. And dictate that the rest split the other 50% equally.

Can you imagine how $he'd stick it to Lindsey? "So how does that 12.5% feel, Lindsey?"

And the saddest part is, he'd probably do it for 12.5%. He's given up his manhood, as far as FM is concerned.

I'm sitting this one out and waiting for the 2027 50th anniversary tour

I think they should …(whether they will is a different matter.).
Play 2 big farewell concerts ..out of respect for their music and their huge legacy.

As far as Mick goes, he’ll earn some readies.
Lindsey can hold onto their place in music history. And close the circle..
Chris and John can get together on a stage one last time.
And Stevie can wear something other than black….. and can sing some of her fabulous songs with her backing group that made them ..

Stop back pedaling. You've been around long enough to know these people are toxic, dis-functional and love MONEY AND FAME. That "never say Never" is what they live for.

Even if none of them can sing, they'll find a way. Incidentally, I was listening to Stevie's current live songs and wow, so bad.

She's sounded like that for awhile now. IMHO she's actually doing pretty good for her age but I fear age is going to change things for her shortly. Jon Bon Jovi and Don Dokken literally cant tour anymore because they cant sing period anymore. Bon Jovi pipes in lead vocals to save Jon and boy is he rough otherwise. I give Stevie props for never piping in vocals (at least no one has ever alleged that). Her concerts are 100% live which is a very rare thing these days.

I am friends with a goat lover and even she cringed at the show. And she's fought me for saying goat isn't the second coming. Maybe goat should sweeten the sound. Plus, she (friend) said the set list was the same ole' same ole... And to make it worse, she added Crying the show after. :lol:

Whose funeral will you be attending before then? You seem to think they're going to live forever....

Thunder.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz only happens....


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz when zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz it's rainin

The question there though is, is there really dirty laundry that hasn't been put outside already?

What would sink Lindsey is if she said he was a beater in her most recent years working with him.
I think all she has on him is he probably told her her writing sucks, which everybody can see in Destiny Rules.

I keep forgetting people from the Midwest don't have much of a sense of humor. That's what we call a joke ;)

I have a fantastic sense of humor. You'll see, when I post your nude selfies!:D

I am choking from laughing so hard, primarily because it's true. I can't believe I am saying this, and I have thought about it in forever but this thread has made the wheels start spinning. I actually could envision a scenario where Stevie caves here. Whether she likes it or not, of all the younger generation artists she hitches her wagon to, the only one who is really out there on a global scale is Harry. She's doing the insufferable Vanessa Carlton ( I am sorry but she is TERRIBLE) a favor by letting her open for Stevie. And Haim--they are pretty niche. Chris Isaak? I like him, but not sure what he's up to. Harry is out there on his own, has a dueling residency at MSG with Billy Joel. He doesn't need Stevie--but she may need him to stay relevant, Unless of course the Rhiannon musical/movie/miniseries is really coming. I know Lindsey is the one always talking about their legacy, but I do think it matters to Stevie too. She just has a bigger platform......right now. She and Lindsey probably have more money than the rest of them, so it's not a money thing. It's a legacy and ego thing for her. And won't she love to be the bigger person and let Lindsey back after firing herself! Azoff would totally cave. He's a money grubbing w---e second only to Mick "the barista" Fleetwood. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2 of them sleep in beds made of benjamins. And an FM tour--the final farewell with the rumours 5 would probably take in more money than the Classic East and West.
All this said, I think the chances are low--Christine, gotta love her, sounds awful and John--I don't think he cares! God bless him. If it were to happen, probably a bunch of stadium tours in US and Europe and they fade away.
Until then, I will be seeing Lindsey at the Paramount and trying to figure out where to see Stevie.

Assuming they get over it and reunite. It would be for spring 2023. Not before, I suppose. Even if it was in the first quarter, those guys... already 70+... and those voices, I don't expect it to be a great show.

Well the Stones are on tour, and I saw some Paris videos, it was great, so everything is possible for Fleetwood Mac even at that age, but I really don't think I would enjoy it. I didn't like those voices in their latest gigs. Plus all the ugly drama we saw in 2018... Again together? Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

If I have a choice, I would suggest the ones with the streamers on the tambourine if you can edit out the tape.

I agree that Christine and Stevie sound bad. Lindsey sounds better, but nothing like he used to.

But here’s the thing- when I saw FM in 2018 or whenever it was, and Isn’t It Midnight came on, I didn’t give a f*** that Christine’s voice was shot! It was awesome hearing one of my favorite songs live. So yeah, their voices are shot and you know what? I don’t care and I would see them again anyway, knowing this would have to be the last time I’d have the chance.

It makes me sad to see them like this. Knockin' on death's door, with no voices left. I'll pass.

I don't even want another BuckVie tour. I'd love an album, but it's rocking chair time for everyone but Lindsey.

This Tour is Stevie's worst setlist. At least when she was touring after TISL w.o. a new album, she was singing great songs like Sorcerer, Beauty and the Beast, How Still My Love, Fall From Grace, Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You, and not singing a diluted version of Moonlight, two minutes of Wild Heart and the boring Lindsey produced Soldier's Angel.

Granny Christine > No Christine

I agree. HOWEVER, am I the only one that it makes REALLY SAD, to see them up there, when our grandparents were in nursing homes at their ages? Looking all tired, with no voices left. THAT, is the definition of sad, to me.


I have no idea why anyone would still want to do it after 70, unless you can't afford not to(yeah, I'm talking to you, Mick).

You might be the only one here who feels sad, but that’s ok! Your feelings are valid :xoxo:

Why do it? Because it feels great to be applauded by folks who are happy to see you? Because people can live productive lives after they turn 70? Because they enjoy singing? Because for two+ hours they (and the fans) can forget about the crap going on in the world?

I’m sure you’re right about Jon Bon Jovi”s voice, but if I were a big fan, and I had an attachment to his songs- for example, instead of Landslide striking a chord in my heart, it was Living on a Prayer LOL then yes, I would want to see him live. Especially if it seemed like it could be the last chance to see him live.

I haven’t met anyone here in person or communicated with anyone outside of this board, with the exception of Hawkeye, who sadly doesn’t post here anymore. We were going to see Lindsey live in 2019 but unfortunately he wasn’t able to make it due to the weather (but he generously gave me his ticket which was in the 2nd row and I had the best time, as my ticket was in literally the very back- thank you so much Hawkeye, if you happen to see this)! However, I think it would be fun to see FM with some of you folks, especially since this truly would be the last opportunity we had. Unfortunately, I agree if they did tour, it would be a very limited tour, and I’m not really interested in driving more than 4 hours to see them. Homer, your commentary during the show would be worth the price of admission alone!

His commentary during the show may be ok but how the hell could you hear it with him shaking that tambourine constantly.

My mom was just over a week shy of a year older than Christine. She’d had a massive stroke and a few TIAs by 2014, the last time she saw Fleetwood Mac. The $h!t-eating grin on her face when she saw Christine up there rocking out made me feel just the opposite. It’s a small moment of victory that they’re still alive and better than most their age.

I've always been afraid of death. It makes me really sad to watch them, especially Christine, looking so old and fragile up there, knowing what's coming for them. And wondering if they're wondering about that, too.

I'd be much more at peace, knowing that they're living on a lake, doing next to nothing, other than hanging with friends every evening. That sounds peaceful. Trying to croak your songs at 80, in front of 20K people, sounds like you're rushing the process of exit.

Why ya gotta have it out for me? ALL THE TIME? Are you in love with me?:laugh:

Of course they can be productive, but when your gift is seriously fading...there's a gracious time as a performer, to leave the stage. I just don't want it to become more sad than it already is. At BuckVie, realizing that Christine(nor Brett) was playing the karaoke keyboard parts, made me realize that the end IS here. It's time for watching the sun set with your friends. I hope they live 25 more years, enjoying their golden years.
