By comparison, she spent 2002-2005 recording & touring behind Say You Will. 2009 was the Unleashed tour. 2013-2015 were the nonstop oldies tours.
So in reality, she's had 2007, 2012, & 2016 off. And big chunks of those other years were also spent fallow as she was doing only summer tours. Yes, for a senior woman she's kept busy. But it's not like she's sacrificed this century to Fleetwood Mac, either.

2012 was an eventful stevie year in my eyes. Probably best stevie,solo concert. I 've ever seen and I've been to 5 all on different tours. So I personally wouldn't have wanted her to spend that year any differently. And she was touring behind her very good new album. And she played 7 new songs a the highlights of the show plus probably the best edge of 17 I've ever seen. Definitely feel that was a worthwhile year. In fact I'd say stevie made great use of 2010 til 2012 ESPECIALLY since if those Rumpus were true of that proposed summer 2010 Eagles F Mac tour were what was being pushed for. (Does anyone else remember that?)
Now the biggest ever waste of a year was 2013! Why couldn't christine had come back a year earlier. There wasn't one thing about that 2013 tour that will make it even remotely significant as a fleetwood Mac tour. What I mean by that is and im strictly talking about just me, in literally every other tour you could point to something unique from at least one song that made that tour worthwhile. Even the almost equally as pointless 2009 Unleashed tour had the best Lindsey version of oh well, and Storms which I know might seem crazy to some but storms was performed well enouh to make that whole tour seem worth it. 2013s tour only selling point was the return of sisters of the moon, which was done much better one year later with the big christine is back tour.without you was never a favorite as a buckinghamnicks song so it sure as he'll sucked live to years later as the same song I always disliked but in their older voices! I huées the argument some people could say is "at least that year gave us new songs" well they were a sad excuse for new songs, especially considering how great I cosider all the songs on both stevie and Lindseys last 2 solo albums. I'm so glad christine is involved in this next project .,stevie and Lindsey alone do not bring out the best on each other any more. And I will proactively add in case some are thinking"what do you expect, stevie just lazily recorded a 40 year old song and she didn't spend enough time working on the song" well on the following year she recorded 16 old songs in about 6 weeks and for the most part I think those turned out incredible. 4 or 5 of my favorite stevie songs now.
