Yes, Mick is stirring the pot because Stevie hasn't committed to an album. If she'd committed, he wouldn't have to keep saying they are hoping and praying. He's definitely trying to put her on the defensive, get the media to question her non-participation and spur a result. It's the same thing he did with the Playboy Interview, when he claimed he thought the band was over. He never thought that, but he did think that Stevie was failing to commit to a tour. He took steps to make her commit and now he's taking steps to, hopefully, make her commit to an album.
