If you are a Mac fan and went to the concert in Lincoln, Nebraska.... ask yourself this question. Would it be better for the show to have been cancelled all together if Mick decided not to play? Or was it better to get 65 minutes of Fleetwood Mac live?
If I was at the show of course I would be disappointed. But I would be thankful I got to see half a show. It would have been easy to just cancel and move on. Fleetwood Mac did the unthinkable and perform 2 songs while their drummer and founding member was incapacitated backstage. Its really amazing. No band wants to look amateurish or foolish with spontaneously playing songs without key members. But they did it for one song.
I think Stevie's remarks were meant as an apology. I think it would be standard language for any situation like this.
Fleetwood Mac is famous for starting tours in the Midwest. I would not be surprised to see Lincoln in the next tour early on.
