We will probably get the threatened Fleetwood Mac stage musical before a film bio. Using the same blueprint as Mamma Mia (music of Abba), Movin' Out (music of Billy Joel, Tonight's the Night (music of Rod Stewart), an original book/story is developed to act as a vehicle for a highly-recognizable songbook from an iconic performer(s).
There are other similar shows in development. It's all about licensing & acquisitions, rights & clearances, etc. etc. Not sure if Lindsey would to see his music retro-fitted for Broadway.
I'd still prefer a movie that tells their story from a unique perspective. Like through the eye of Stevie's dog and Christine's pet parakeet, who overcome initial animosity and cultural differences to become friends and then witnesses to rock & roll hi-jinks during FM's Rumors tour.
