But she owes a lot of her solo career success to the band.
Her ambivalence to a new Fleetwood Mac album, knowing that Lindsey and Christine have already done extensive work on it is very disconcerting and insulting. Now I'm beginning to think that Lindsey and Christine go forward and release the album without Stevie, unless they get a commitment from her. They shouldn't have to wait for her beck and call. I bet their album will have more market appeal than her recent album.
All the excuses that Stevie doesn't trust that Lindsey is going to produce them the way she wants is just bull****. He produced her songs in Fleetwood Mac that made it possible for her to establish her solo career. She may have not liked the approach he took with songs on Say You Will, but that shouldn't warrant a complete dismissal of his abilities.
As others have said, if Stevie becomes the roadblock that stymies the last album the Rumours era band could have made, it will be a big blemish on her reputation. After all, she isn't even doing the heavy work the rest of the band is doing; most that falls on Lindsey, and the other musicians. Yet, Stevie gets to wear the crown.

Stevie didn't ask Lindsey and Christine to start working on a new record so u can't hold that over her head. The blemish of the successfulness is on Lindsey and Chris. They broke up the group.
