This band has been through Hell and back and I think a lot of these assumptions and misguided low blows to Stevie & Mick are unjustifiable as we have no idea as fans what had went down behind the scenes. As it stands, they are less likely to pull in the crazy money with one of the main three songwriters on board.

It is actually immaterial what went on behind the scenes, curious as I am about what transpired. What they are doing in
public by firing Lindsey is disgraceful and an insult to the fans who have longed for a final Rumours 5 lineup farewell tour. Since Mick fired Lindsey then it is his responsibility, pure and simple. They didn't even give Lindsey the courtesy of making it appear as if it was his decision to resign from the band--he was fired, ostensibly for wanting to do a solo record! Did they threaten to fire Stevie for recording IYD, 24KG, TISL, etc.?
