DID MOTHERHOOD COST CROW A ROLE IN FLEETWOOD MAC?2009-01-07 03:12:02 -

SHERYL CROW's role as a single mum may have cost her the chance to join FLEETWOOD MAC.

The supergroup's main man Mick Fleetwood has spoken out about reports suggesting Crow was considered as Christine McVie's replacement in the band for 2009 tour dates, and admits motherhood may have ruined her chances.
Crow prematurely announced her Mac hopes last year (08), but Fleetwood and his bandmates have since insisted she isn't a part of their plans.

And now Fleetwood says, "Sheryl's an incredible talent, but she's started a family as a single mother and is still promoting her own album.

"Going off into the sunset with Fleetwood Mac for a couple of years just wouldn't have worked."

Oh, marlarkey. Can't they come up with anything else?

I really wish they'd stop the whole Sheryl talk.
They all just end up looking stupid.

Yes, they do, Regina.

The idea of Mick Fleetwood lecturing anyone else about "going off into the sunset with Fleetwood Mac for a couple of years" is a paralyzing laugh.

I wish people would stop asking them about Sheryl Crow. Who cares! I'm just so glad she's not part of the band.

As for this new excuse, it's interesting it comes from Stevie and Mick who Lindsey had previously id'd as the two who were particularly upset about Sheryl spilling the beans. So I think they're just trying to be nice to Sheryl -- and that's fine. Say all the nicest things about her you want, Stevie and Mick; just do not let her in the band!

Just think, at least it takes up some time between the typical questions "What was it like recording Rumours and breaking up at the same time?" and "Do you (Stevie or Lindsey) and (opposite of who the previous "you" refers to) get along now? Is it still weird!?"

Let's hope they will not be asked about that **** anymore,too.

Why can't they (and by "they" I mean Stevie, Lindsey and Mick) just shut up full stop? I am wholly exhausted by their constant jabbering. Sorry, but just take a leaf out of John's book and keep your thoughts to yourself. My respect for that man grows greater day by day. You do not have to court these questions, nor do you have to court the publicity; learn to say no, or to say little.

that is crazy cause everyone else in fleetwood mac has spouses and children except for Stevie so to say Sheryl can't join fleetwood mac on tour because she is starting a family and that is news to me that she is pregnant and good and congrats to Sheryl Crow on being a mother. But I would have loved to see Sheryl be in fleetwood mac I do miss Christine McVie wish she would consider about regrouping with everyone for one time big tour and would be nice if they all did a whole new cd as well. I am listening to the fleetwood mac catalog all the way from the begining with peter green i do love every part of fleetwood mac i do have to get the time cd which i dont have and reason i didnt get it at first was that stevie was not on it.But will be buying that cd and and few others to my collection. I have been a big fan of fleetwood mac since I was 9 years old back in 1979 and got my first fleetwood mac album thru columbia house records and got to order Tusk my parents asked me if i want to get a record i said yes and ordered Tusk

Exactly. The others have SPOUSES who are able to care for the kids when the band is off playing rock star. Sheryl is a single mom, which means the kids would have to be on tour. It's just not a good situation.

BTW, I agree. They just need to shut-up about Sheryl Crow.
