Which is kind of sad, I think they should have let her do whatever she was comfortable with of she expressed a desire to do so. It made no sense to me because john ALSO said he thought her In the Meantime album had some good stuff on there but said it could have been better if he and mick and lindsey could have added to it. So.. why didn't he push for her to be more involved in Say You Will??! 😞

Yes, now I remember that. I am recalling also that what I understood that year was that she not only wanted to tour, but she didn't even want to leave England to record in USA; I don't remember her saying that, or if it was some journalist's conclusion, but in any case, I wondered at that time (and wished) if it would have been possible for the band to travel to UK to record there, like when they went to France.
Yes, I know it would have sounded selfish of Christine, but as a fan, I would have wanted SYW to have the Rumours lineup, regardless of whether she went on tour or not. After all, something similar happened with Tango, although of course for more dramatic and bitter reasons. And I loved the Tango album anyway, which it was a great success.
It would be an interesting poll to ask ourselves if we prefer the SYW we got, or an album with Christine even if she didn't tour. I already answered that.
