My first instinct is to say that the demand wouldn't be there and the band would cease to be, but when it comes to the current configuration of the band, Stevie has ALWAYS been the one who's most in it for the money (if you doubt me- why does she continue to stick around year after year, despite the fact she has nothing but a constant stream of complaints? Its because she likes the attention/making ~$200K per show. No problem with that. She has her cake and eats it too, and everyone seems to be fine with it.)
Lindsey's fine with losing money on his ridiculously self-indulgent solo tours, and (in this alternate universe) Chris is there for the music. Mick & John have always been along for the ride, and their pay wouldn't be all that different from a tour that Stevie was involved with.
