Chris is not replaceable. Some bands can get away with replacing a musician when a band member dies or leaves. The Who did it with their bassist and the Stones did it with their drummer to finish a tour. However Chris was also a major singer in the band. Its one thing to hire someone for keyboards but its a whole different thing to hire someone to not only play her parts but sing her parts. I don't agree with this at all. I could stomach Billy singing Go Your Own Way because its sort of an anthem and was always the Mac closer. But Neil singing Second Hand News and Monday morning was cover band material.
I admire Led Zeppelin. They lost their drummer and called it a day. The magic was gone and would not go on without their member. Mick already destroyed the legacy of the band (sorry bwboy). Just when you think Mick cant go any lower he surprises you. All this to keep Mick out of bankruptcy? Call me bitter but I could not stand to hear the constant tributes for Chris by Stevie while her pal Sheryl is singing her songs. Go on the road with Neil and Mike. At least there would be some consistency there. Mick threw Lindsey out a window for 8 million dollars. Now he's willing to pretend that never happened for another 8 million dollars.
Enough. Legends don't get replaced. I love how easy Mick feels with replacing Lindsey and Chris yet Stevie is off limits. Its insane now Chris had to sit down with Bekka to explain the rules. Bekka you are wonderful but a little bit of advice. Its not wise to perform any Stevie songs. Reminds me of that 1970s commercial: "It's not nice to fool mother nature"
Its not nice to perform Stevie Nicks songs.
