The Dance was a reunion. Any new tour could clearly be billed as a farewell tour - a last dance if you will. So there wouldn't be the pressure to do another one after it.
Personally I'd love to see the band reform. But I'm not sure why they would other than for money.
The Dance worked because i think there was a genuine desire to see whether they still had the magic after all the addictions and problems. They clearly did and so the Dance was a huge success.
A major part of that success was LB and SN who I think also had a genuine need to see whether BuckinghamNicks still worked. They clearly did too, both musically and emotionally.
However rote the performances became, I believe the emotions they reignited were genuine and audiences picked up on that, hence the success of the event not to mention the creation of many new fans who liked the back story.
But what is there now?
Christine bowed out at the top - would she want to risk another tour which may not have that same magic and end up going out with a whimper this time?
With the best will in the world would Stevie want to be confronted with Mrs B and the kids for months on end.
Would Lindsey want the spectre of Stevie to arise again?
But who knows. Never say never with this band!
