If Mick convinced him, it could be just for a couple of shows. But as I said before, I am not interested in seeing that partial reunion, actually I would not like it to happen. Fleetwood Mac was over to me since 2018.

John was most likely thinking he was done even then, in 2022, before chris died and before the auction. from what i heard he sold pretty much everything, and he was there at the auction for one day answering technical questions about all the gear. and i know folks say he could always buy another bass but he had sooo many different ones for different songs that were tuned differently etc, so i don't think it would be as simple as just buying a new bass.
john was always frugal ...tighter than a crab's *ss , as my dad would say. he didn't need the money, he's got a sweet net worth. as long as he and his daughter/son in law are pretty much set for life, that's prob all he cares about.
But even chris had said he was "feeling a little bit frail" and didn't have the heart for it anymore in one of her final interviews. If he was frail *then*, imagine how he is now. and esp after all that's happened.. my opinion is that he's definitely done.
