The extra year off gave LB some time to work on new music with Mick and John, and he had fun doing it, so maybe we should thank Stevie for that. But after Stevie and Lindsey spent 2012 doing the solo thing, there's no way they could do a new album without postponing this tour a bit longer. It's convenient to blame Stevie for the lack of new music

didn't Lindsey say in that RS how much they had to keep under wraps and how it is all coming out now all of the sudden once Stevie started talking about it? so if we didn't know about it, does that mean they were not talking about it?

and didn't SN say in one of the interviews over the last 2 days (or was it Mick in that audio interview?) that LB wanted to do an album and then a tour in 2012?

the extra year gave Lindsey a chance to:

• put together 60 dates of his One Man Show tour lasting from May through November;
• record 3 new songs for Judd Apatow soundtrack;
• record these 8 new FM songs; and
• release a newly recorded live album.

so you are right, for that we are extremely grateful to SN. hope she says no to some more FM or BN projects.

and yes, they can do a new album before the tour no problem, if they just decide to put an effort to it.
