After all, she's the one who will either allow this project to move forward or shut it down permanently.

Maybe she is enjoying her new house in Malibu. I think she said she has had it a while. But, never got to enjoy it.

Hanging out in a trailer park definitely takes precedence over making new music with one of the most legendary bands of all time!

Now you leave her alone. Only I'm allowed to be mean to Shhtevie...

You know, it never occurred to me until now that maybe she's just not ready to say goodbye (see what I did there?) to the band. Recording a new album + touring means the end would be in sight, and despite her age, she might not be prepared or willing to deal with that yet.

Or at least is in no rush to do so?

I agree with this 100%. As someone who has extensively studied emotional/mental states and psychology, what I've observed from Stevie is the intense aversion to change (clothes, setlists, albums, etc). Besides that, her attempts at escapism are telling. She sold her house in Phoenix (a city she's lived in for over 30 years!) after her mum passed away, thereby abolishing those memories, and choosing to retreat to her solitude by the sea. She released 24KG, a contemplative, retrospective album that was entirely based on the past... Of course there's so much more to these decisions than what I've mentioned, but I still believe they say something.

My very favourite historical figure, Marie Antoinette, I believed suffered from a very similar state of mind. As France was plunged into turmoil, she retreated to her gardens, creating a world of bizarre simplicity to remove herself entirely from reality, and continued on as if nothing was wrong. She became oblivious to her surroundings, refusing to give in to the demands made upon her, because she honestly couldn't handle it anymore. High expectations and horrific circumstances throughout her whole life led her to dissociate from reality, and I think Stevie has done this, in a slightly different way obviously.

I don't personally know her, but her actions over the last 20+ years are so indicative of her "state of mind".

There will be no new album.

But isn't this whole thread, "FM Will Record New Album, Says Stevie" based on her most recent public remarks? If she gave a lengthy new interview to someone without saying anything about Fleetwood Mac, that would be alarming, but the last thing she said to the press is completely in line with what Christine said just a few weeks ago.

Precisely. She just got Christine back after 15 years without her. I'm sure issues of the heart are just as much at work here besides the business side of things, as it always has been with this band.

I would think this is the opposite of being totally silent.

I could not resist. Hahahahahaha.Why not .Vinyl is back. Maybe it would be release only on 8track tape.Most of the older fans might still have their players in their attic,garage,basement or storage bin.

I have a fleet of players here and I could rent them out who needs it.

I don't place any stock in that article, especially considering it was amended to say that Stevie was going to do "several" solo projects before she'd commit to a new FM album. So to me, that's still very far from a firm confirmation or commitment from Stevie. This whole thing will be real to me when Stevie makes some sort of grand, bold, official proclamation which is picked up by multiple trusted news outlets.

^ I respect that, but no other FM member has talked about the new album this year either. There hasn't been talk about a Stevie solo album/tour either so....
