Nicks says she doesn't know whether she'll ever be on board with new FM album

This is a business first and foremost. If she CHOOSES to be a member of Fleetwood Mac, she has to tour and record with them. It's her JOB that she has VOLUNTARILY CHOSEN to do, for which she gets paid handsomely. I'd like to know of ANY other job where people can refuse to do certain aspects of their job description and not be fired.

This raises a point. Nicks said around the time of SYW that Christine had indicated a willingness to record with the band but not tour, and that this couldn't work because "what if one of her songs is a hit"? At the time I remember thinking, "y'all could use a hit, so I wouldn't look askance at that whether McVie is touring or not!" but I got the point of it.

So if Nicks felt then that being in the band required touring, I don't see how she can feel now that being in the band doesn't also require recording. Her only out is that "albums don't sell" but heck, that hasn't stopped her from putting out solo albums, thankfully.

So I don't think this is about Nicks not wanting to record with Mac ever again, I think its all about timing: She wants to tour to support 24KG, and doing an album with Mac will kill that idea.
