Nice to see LB would be pleased. If they announced that CM was going to tour with them I'm sure the ticket prices would go up. The fab 5 would be a huge marketing lure.
I'm not sure how Christine takes aways Linsdey's ability to be a guy. He acts a bit fem all on his own. Maybe she sucks the masculinity out of the room.
I do see how he gets to do more of his tunes. With her gone it goes from 33% to 50%. And he only has to gripe about doing Stevie's tunes and not Stevie and Christine's tunes.
As far as keyboards are concerned, the keys are there anyway. Plus, she wasn't much of a spotlight grabber to begin with. And even further, they have back up guitars, drums, backing vocals etc. They haven't been a true 5 piece since the Mirage tour.
Perhaps he misses her and was really sad and expressed it in his own Buckingham way.
Having said all that, there's no way in hell she would tour with them. She wants to hang out and see the gang. Wishing she would tho.
