Yeah, we’re planning to go out a little later than I would have liked. I think we’re going to have to work on young Stevie. But we’re going, we’re planning to be on the road in October of ’17. We need that to be a little sooner. Uh, I think it’s crazy touring in the winter… Well, we normally go all over the world, y’know, and I think that will - in our mind - be the last tour. It will be a massive commitment that will last about two years on and off like the Stones when they go out. And I think the girls will have had enough. Although, Christine, who re-joined Fleetwood Mac, and she’s an elder stateswoman - I won’t mention how old but she’s like a spring chicken. She phones me every week now and goes like, “We’re going back out, right?”

thanks for sharing, Nicole. sorry you didn't get to ask your question, and can't believe nobody asked about the album!! hopefully one of the remaining m&gs someone will, and we get to hear about what the response is.


from all this, i can see as the best case scenario (taking into account people we are dealing with and their [no] sense of time):

• they may all go into studio apr-may 2016 to finish the album - with Stevie (yes? no? that's the question someone should ask - whether they are really going into studio to finish the album in the next few months, like Chris said, and if they are, is Stevie going to be there too, or they still don't have her commitment).
• they'll put that album out fall of 2017 the earliest
• they'll tour one last massive, 2-years long tour starting probably spring 2018 (because in these people math that will be close enough to 50 years of rumours and Stevie doesn't want to tour with FM before fall 2017 which takes them for a winter tour start and will probably not happen)
