Obviously since Stevie's solo career was then in full swing, she didn't want to do a long Fleetwood Mac road binge in the midst of becoming one of the biggest stars in the business, according to Mick's book, but that was the tour. I have not found any source about not collaborating enough in Mirage recording sessions, as I did about Tango sessions.

There was an interview in the summer of 1981 when she was on tour with Tom. This was months before her own solo dates. Stevie said in the summer of 1981 that the new Mac album was halfway done. So I imagine she did spend early time on it at least giving her songs for it to be half finished. She was busy jetting around with Tom, flying to France, back to the states for her solo dates then back to France.
BTW, I posted that interview here several months ago.
