Count me in for group therapy!
When it became known that Christine had rejoined, and they were working on new songs, I reasonably assumed they would spend about six months or so to make and release an album, then do a tour. Perhaps Stevie would be more amiable to the album if she was given a window of time to promote her own album. Also, it would allow to assimilate into a lifestyle that she had not lived for a very long time.
Instead, in a very crass financially-motivated move, they booked a massive, two year world-wide tour, not very long after their last cash-grab tour. I wonder who championed this idea; Perhaps their management? Maybe Mick?
Great shows, but fleeting moments compared to the lasting impact of a final album of new music. I have faith that the album will happen. But if doesn't, I think that's the last hurrah for the band. The only thing fans may have to look forward to is a CD/DVD package of the tour, which would be welcome, but nothing other than the same old same old. Perhaps yet another Rumours release! Yawn.
