Not without Stevie.

She was being a team player to Irving Azoff and Mick. OWTS was their idea.
How much thought do you think went into hitting the road again after Christine McVie made it very obvious she wanted back in?

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.
The whole genesis for Christine going to Hawaii was rediscovering her passion for the music after reading Ken’s book. He’s the one who told everyone she was on a flight to Hawaii with Mick and then that she was going to make a cameo at the Blues Band show. By the time the picture of Christine eating dinner with Mick and John in Hawaii was posted to the internet, her return seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

We have different visions for FM anyway. You don't want to hear new music. You want to hear pre-1975 music.
I enjoyed LBCM and I would have loved an album with Neil and Mike, so I don’t know where you’re getting that. However, I have zero enthusiasm for new Stevie Nicks music. New vs. pre-1975 is a false narrative. They (classic lineup) had like 12 songs they had to play, which means they could have played as many as eleven more songs (8 new, 3 pre-1975).
