I highly doubt her ego could take the blow.

It will happen come Hell or high water.

i agree this is all band politics: the band is trying to get Stevie to work with them and she doesn't want to yet wants to stay in the band (and not get blamed for no album). i see her RS cover story fitting nicely into her agenda and against the band's.

if you read some of the fan comments, the backlash to RS story is against the band not wanting to do a new album, cause it was presented as SN speaking for the band. story is nicely crafted so that it perpetuates the picture of them still having childish or inconsequential fights of ex-lovers, not that they are actually disagreeing about something substantial and artistic, like a direction the band should take (didn't they really disagree about that since Tusk????? guess that story is not nearly as sexy as ex-lovers fighting!).
