Yes, I think Lindsey probably heard rumors from the road crew soon after the affair happened, I doubt it came as a surprise. Carol Ann said he knew all along, because it was very obvious but then again she might have gone out of her way to make sure he knew, because I got an instigator vibe from her where the Jenny vs. Stevie altercation is concerned. Carol probably made sure
everyone knew about Mick and Stevie.
Lindsey said he had other issues with Stevie aside from her sleeping with Mick. Which doesn't mean he didn't still feel emotionally connected to her. I think he did. But by the time Mick confronted him, the news was probably quite anticlimatic. Plus, Mick said that when he was high Lindsey confessed that he thought there was something between Stevie and Mick since they joined the band in 1975. He apparently suspected they had already been together.
So, when they actually said they had been, Stevie and Lindsey had both been with other people. He'd probably heard about the affair at least a year earlier and gotten through it. I don't think there was immense shock and hurt left, when the boom officially fell.
And I doubt they broke up because of Lindsey. It probably had more to do with Mick's feelings for Sara.
