I wasn’t going to mention Christine when she was retired. The band had every right to continue without her. There’s no reason to begrudge anyone.
Just as there wouldn’t have been a reason to begrudge the band for doing the Oceania leg without John (provided it was with his blessing, of course). Lots of bands have to fill out dates with a substitute while a member is recovering. Were Christine, John, Stevie, and Lindsey being disloyal to Mick when they had Steve play drums on GYOW after Mick got too sick to finish the show?
It was no grand act of loyalty decided against going to Oceania without John considering Christine was coming back and they’d be going there in a couple of years with the full lineup.
