It sounds like he's not exactly serious about the 18 months off...

After a pretty busy period, Fleetwood Mac have been quiet lately, but we caught up with drummer Mick Fleetwood who filled us in on the band’s future plans.

“We’ve been working like dogs for about a year and a half nearly. So that ended just before Christmas in Australia and we had a fantastic tour, went all over the world, and a happy one, a happy tour. So I would say knowing us bunch, we’ll probably take about 18 months off. And then there is definitely the want to do more work and hopefully we’ll do more recording. I don’t know whether that’s really gonna happen or not.”

In the meantime, Mick is working with his Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, setting up an American tour. Keep up to date on all things Mick at MickFleetwood.com.

He's really taking a bet figuring they'll all be alive in 18 months.

So glad for him to say it was a happy, happy tour. Of course, I doubt I'll hear those words out of Stevie's mouth, but I'll take what I can get.

This at least suggests the Eagles co-tour won't be happening any time soon! I would love one more Mac album, but in the meantime (Ha!) I could go for solo albums from Mr. Buckingham and Ms. Nicks.

Actually was kind of sad to read this (about taking 18 months off). Yes, I can see the need for a break, but that long? The momentum and energy is not there anymore, but then again, that is the historic formula over the years. I am sure even though it was a happy tour, they want a break from each other to regroup and re-energize.

With that said, am happy because it would give Stevie time to really work on what she is doing with Dave in the studio. It does sound like she is ready to make something happen. I really can not see Stevie sitting around not doing anything for 18 months. She is too restless for that.

Now would be a perfect time to rerelease Buckingham Nicks....just sayin

Maybe by having an 18 month timeline, it will force Stevie to get a new album out and hit the damn road! Seeing as 18 months off from Dec 2009 would end up being June of 2011, she could do a new album and tour by then, but she needs to ****in hurry!

I hate to say this, but this is what I was thinking when I read it. Hall & Oates just lost their long time bass player/musical director & he was only 58. You never know. Why 18 months? Well, now is the time for a Stevie and/or Lindsey solo album. I'd like some new music from somebody while Mick tours with his other band.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Their time is limited. If anything, they should be taking less time off. I was terribly saddened to hear of (Hall and Oates' bass player) T-Bone's sudden passing. Like you said, you never know.

If memory serves, they known he had heart problems, for some time. As far as we know, the Maccers are all healthy. I've always wondered about Lindsey's family's heart attack history....if he's in danger?
