It seems to me that Stevie is deliberately being coy to the media about specifics regarding any FM plans. There must be a reason behind this because she's usually effusive about any upcoming projects!?! And with Liz's official announcement that Christine is definitely back in the group (this being all Stevie ever wanted) you'd think she'd be drooling to the press about it.
Something is definitely up, be it contract's still being ironed out, record company, & band politics playing out behind the scenes (which is the most likely scenerio.) If there is a FM record being planned, Stevie would be straight up stupid not to be involved, because it would draw a lot of unattractive & unwanted attention about why she would not participate in the press (casting a stark dark shadow over any FM record and their upcoming tour.) So I think she ultimately will contribute one way or another. But behind the scenes right now there must be a battle underway!
And no way do I believe Stevie will embark on a solo tour this year (unless it's corporate shows & perhaps casino one-offs) They're (concert promoters) not going to want Stevie to saturate any markets that FM may potentially play, so I'm not reading too much into her one off comment about 2 tours happening in 2014 to that interviewer at the Grammy's, unless she's referring to two FM legs before years end, which makes sense if they're not hitting the road until late summer, early fall.
