I do think there is a difference between an outsider to the band making announcements about the band as opposed to the "announcements" which are really just band members trying to get the others to join in on something one or more of them want to do. Like Mick saying that the FM album was waiting for Stevie, when it turned out to be BuckVie. Or any of them making pronouncements about touring that never came to pass.
As for future FM projects, I can't say I have a lot of interest in whatever regurgitated version of history they put out as this documentary, but I'm willing to hope that the documentarian somehow gets access to old footage that will be worthwhile. Even though Rumours has been done to death, I think that the first go at the Rumours documentaries were pretty good, and I have always liked the Tusk documentary and Destiny Rules.
As for Lindsey believing that the universe will somehow bring more than this documentary to FM, he's been hoping for closure and for them to record/perform together from the moment they kicked him out and honestly even before then. I don't think Stevie will ever agree. She doesn't need to for her career, and she has made it clear she does not want to work with Lindsey again. I would be surprised if they are even interviewed in the same room for this documentary (if it ever comes out).
I don't think anyone who lived through all of the "healing" from The Dance has an appetite for that dog and pony show again. I don't know if any other oldie fans remember this article from Q Magazine during The Dance tour (
https://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/arti...rt_arc009.html) -- but I've always remembered the skepticism about the healing and them basically calling out S/L for leading people on about their reconciliation/romance/whatever. IN 1997. That was at the peak of their reconciliation, and it was probably not even genuine then. Them playing that out 30 years after The Dance and 50 years since the broke up is so distasteful to me that I don't even think I could stomach it.
