Chris quit, Bekka and Billy were very country and even moved to Nashville to do a country duo album, and Lindsey asked Mick to play on and co-produce Gift Of Screws. That's when the pressure was on for the Rumours band to do their Hell Freezes Over, and Mick and Lindsey working together was a great place to start. I verified with Mason's people that the band was over in March, 1996. The official announcement came later. It's not like it was given a fair shot, but that's the industry.

As for the rest, I thought it was pretty clear we were talking about the post-BTM, pre-Dance era, which relegates your other comments to the Straw Man. Bottom line NOBODY in Fleetwood Mac was doing well apart.

OOTC bombed.
Street Angel bombed.
Time bombed.

ALL FIVE of them NEEDED the reunion.
