If they had gone out in 2011 it would have seem rushed and as if it was thrown together simply because there was a slight blip on the popularity radar.
Rumours is still selling in large amounts (which is even more impressive than in 2011, because there's not some pop culture phenomenon that's pushing it to the general public. PLUS the box sets that are selling are a lot more expensive than the $9 or so it would cost to buy the regular album).
Not to mention that Fleetwood Mac was the soundtrack to the most popular Superbowl commercial this year. That's pretty damn good publicity right there. We have the hype of there being at least a few new songs, as well, which we wouldn't have had in 2011.
Their UK tour sold out the day tickets went on sale, did it not? I don't think they're suffering from having waited until 2013 to tour. At all.

I never said they were suffering. If anything, the 2013 presale is already doing better than the 2009 tour.
What I meant was, I had never seen so much popularity for them than I did in 2011. Lots of my friends (20 year olds) and younger were totally into it and it felt like a great time for them to be in the spotlight.
