It's amazing to me that as Ledgies, we can be bigger drama queens than the band themselves.
Mick needs more studio time than Stevie, and he's booking Blues Band shows, showing up at a Dollar Loan corporate event, and working on a TV show. Why no thread where we can all lose our sh*t over that?
Seriously though, my personal opinion is that
no one in the band ever had any intention of getting an album out
before the tour, so no one feels the need to rush to get everything done in the next couple months. They're taking their time, and that's probably a good thing. For one thing, I think John needs all the recovery time he can get.
