Yes that is sad. But if you remember it was Billy's tweet that we discovered of Lindsey's firing. We were all in shock and thought Billy had been drinking too much when he announced Fleetwood Mac was auditioning new guitarists. It was not until days later until we found out what he wrote was true.
Its my belief he was probably on the shortlist. It would make sense to bring Rick and Billy back. However Stevie already promised the position to Mike. So I believe they did not want to screw one of them over deciding Rick or Billy? I have no proof but that is my gut. With the lead guitarist hired already, they needed a singer and guitar player. They mystery guy did not work out and then Mick threw out Neil since he worked with them.
