I hope his health issues didn't prevent him from going to the show. He may just be emotionally exhausted from the experience and it might take him a little bit to process it. I think this is the most time he's spent with them in a while.
Someone suggested he give Out of the Cradle a listen and his response was a bit sad. He misses his friendship with Lindsey a great deal.
It's impossible to guess how he feels after seeing the show and them, if he even made it. And then of course there is the possibility that it didn't go well. I pray that didn't happen.

Am i the only one that thinks it is a little odd that richard disappears right before the las vegas show and he nor stacy say anything about his lack of communication? Its just weird.... It kind of makes him lose credibility in my book....to just leave people hanging ... It seems like he is looking for attention, then he isn't. Turned on, turned off.... Its disappointing because he seemed so geniune, and then he disappears without a trace. The least he could have done was have his friend Stacy post something like...." stand by, processing the experience". Anything. But nothing is odd.

At this point I'm kind of fearing the worst whatever that might be in regards to this particular situation.

Its all very strange isn't it? Nothing from Richard at all.
Even Stacey B seems to be rather inactive now. She used to tweet regularly but it looks like she's only tweeted a small handful of random messages since the date of the Vegas show. Strange.

I just sent a hope you're okay message.

I've never seen anything from Richard to make me doubt his motives- quite the opposite. However, something is definitely going on here. Either he's overwhelmed following his first encounter with the band in decades; or he's been silenced by them. Given the fact the band wouldn't even speak with Ken Caillat for his very technical book on the production of Rumours, I'd have to think it might be the latter.

Then again, Richard is a very sentimental, sensitive guy. He might just be taking some personal time to digest the situation. I don't think any of us can imagine the emotions he must be going through if he recently spent some time with FM. Maybe they approached him with some sort of offer he's mulling over. Who knows.

In any event, I give Richard the full benefit of the doubt. He's been the single most generous Mac insider that's ever reached out to the fan base. He's most certainly earned my respect & trust. Even if he has walked away from his blog without notice, it's way more than we've ever gotten from anyone else. He'd still have my gratitude.

Stacy posted on April 6 about going to the FM show, so...seems like they were planning to go. It is kinda weird not a peep since.

This. I think Richard is an upstanding gentleman, without any intention whatsoever to intentionally dishearten any of us in any way. I think he is working on some different things right now, keeping it all very hush hush for positive reasons. If he were ill, surely Stacy would mention that, and if FM wanted to shut him down, surely he would have addressed the situation. Either way, what you said is absolutely true and I have the utmost respect for Richard.

I agree with every word written here 100%. You are right on the mark.

This is how I feel about him.

I bet they made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

A good hypothesis, and they sure have the funds to back it up.

Me too.

"Richard, would you accept $50K, to stop posting about us?"

"Yes, I need the money!"

He's done. I'd put money on it. I'm just thankful for the cool photos and memories he posted.
