I think it was just an excuse for not putting out more than one solo album between the years of 1985-2005. Thankfully he no longer needs any excuses.

What's the problem? The name in the album. Tango is remembered as a Fleetwood Mac album, not Lindsey's. Who knows about him being the creative key? Just people involved and the extreme fans. (I remember somebody posted that at the Tango shows some people even didn't realize there were 2 guys replacing a former member).
Mick also mentioned about Lindsey's being upset, during that August 7, 1987 episode:
Lindsey apologised. "Look, I'm sorry. I just can't do any more. I've given twelve years of my life to this band! I've done it all arranged, produced, played guitar, sang. I just can't... hack it... and do it all anymore." Christine spoke now. "What do you mean, Lindsey, do it all?" Her tone was withering. It was her singles, after all, that got played on the radio, not Lindsey's. This was a sore spot, because in interviews Lindsey had been describing his role in the band as the grand interpreter of Chris's and Stevie's music to the world as if he felt he had carried the rest of the band. Nobody liked this, especially now. Lindsey was silent. No one knew what to say. Lindsey had given his answer.
A bit unfair from Mick anyway, cause Big Love was played on radios too (at least peruvian radios
). But I do believe these words express Lindsey's thoughts at that time.
