I'm prepared to change my views should good arguments be posted. E.g. at present there is more doubt than I previously thought about whether the deal-breaker was due to Lindsey asking for a delay, or other factors.
I care very little about what others believe. But, I care about what they base those beliefs on. Because, if after investigation they do have strong verifiable evidence, then that could make me change my mind.
Note that I came into this thread with a question, not a statement. I did post initially what I thought the answer is, but it's a clear invitation to 'prove me wrong'. I've seen quite a few posts, and I think the evidence against my belief is weak and the evidence for my belief is strong. So, I don't believe that the reasons for both beliefs are well documented. There is an awful lot of straw down at the bottom.
I'm not demanding that people do anything. But, I would like to see if people can back up their claims, particularly the extreme claims. People don't have to back up their claims. It's a free world. But, if people make claims and don't back them up, then that's a bit of a giveaway by omission.

You keep saying "evidence." There's no evidence of any kind to support either interpretation. It's just the band's word vs Lindsey's, and by extension his wife's. You can't prove any of it. News stories that just repeat the band's story aren't corroborating evidence.
I think we all have to read between the lines to figure out what happened. Considering the history of SnL, it's not exactly going out on a limb to say things reached a head. Both are to blame for their relationship, but only one person got fired. So, yes, Lindsey is the victim if he got fired for the reasons the band is saying. If it's something bigger than that, they should have said from the get go.
Some fans are angry because Stevie has been allowed to keep the band from touring and recording, simply because she's the biggest draw. But the band is bowing to money if that is the primary consideration. And while understandable, it's not right.
Lindsey is touring for 2 months, and FM is starting at about the same time. They could have waited, even if the band's story is true. Clearly the November 2019 date from Stevie makes no sense. I wonder if it was November this year, and everything got pushed back after Lindsey got fired. They waited for Stevie for years, so what's 2 or 3 months?
