So if Stevie didn't do the OWTS Tour in 2014, Fleetwood Mac (Mick, John, Christine, Lindsey) would not have played arenas?

She was being a team player to Irving Azoff and Mick. OWTS was their idea. But again, it's all about money and playing the hits with FM. Not about being artists like Bon Jovi or U2 and making albums.

Christine did not commit to returning to FM when she was in Maui. It was in the summer or fall of 2013. I'd love to think she would have done an album in 2013 but she only contributed one song to the EP.

She’s a megastar outside of band while the others are/were barely viable. So, no, the rules don’t apply to Stevie and it’s incredibly naive to expect otherwise.

But it's moral for her to lie like Trump and say "This is a team." "I'm not the boss in Fleetwood Mac"?
We have different visions for FM anyway. You don't want to hear new music. You want to hear pre-1975 music.
I want to hear new music (I hoped for a new album from the 2018 lineup) and songs from 1975-2013 including Behind The Mask but honestly, I'm not into Time but for the opening track and Nights In Estoril.
