Lindsey said, "if there's any chance even that Stevie were to have pulled out after 40 dates, I couldn't take the chance and do that."
It's very possible that she did threaten to do that, but we don't know with certainty that she did. Lindsey was definitely worried that she might, though. His scenario -- tour, do another album, tour -- in order to recoup his losses on releasing a double album, sure did require quite a gamble. It also placed a lot of expectations on his band-mates.
I need to re-watch parts of 'Destiny Rules' again, because I remember some of that argument differently.

Although, certainly that may be all that matters in the end.

While I don't at all believe she's needed right now, that's not to say I believe it's the reason she's not there. My only argument is that there's no reason to stress about that fact, or to jump to the conclusion that Stevie's not "on board" with an album.
