Anyway, I recall the fan mentioning that Stevie told them that she wouldn't be shaking hands with the audience, etc., during the tour, because she didn't want to take any chances of doing something that would in some way upset Lindsey or Christine.
She said that the upcoming tour was about Fleetwood Mac, and not her, and that she wanted it to be a happy experience for everyone in the band.
On the current tour, perhaps her hip-troubles and the menopause are contributing to it in some way, but I really think the biggest reason that Stevie isn't interacting with the audience in any major way, is that she wants Lindsey to have "equal time"... given that Lindsey hasn't toured since 1997, and Stevie has toured twice since then.
She's probably also enjoying the fact that she can step back a little, and let him work the crowd the way she typically does.

I think you're right man! If Stevie were afraid of getting sick from touching people she sure as hell wouldn't be getting close to people in FM's photo shoots that she does with backstage fans or at radio station contests. She's always the one who's hugging or pressing her cheek up against someone else. One thing she's not afraid of is getting close to people. Actually I think she rather enjoys it! On the other hand there's a ****load of ego still going on in FM. That's something she would be worried about upsetting. She's doing the right thing and not hamming it up like we all know she is so capable of. I love her either way!
