No.
In 1985 Stevie was still trying to scrap together bits and pieces of a fragmented RAL. She went on tour the next spring and summer of 1986 while the Mac went into the studio. Stevie was late to join them in the studio because after the tour she went to rehab. She sent them demos before and during the tour. Tango was almost finished in late 1986 and Stevie was not happy she was barely on the album. She threatened to go to Rolling Stone with an exclusive interview to tell them she had nothing to do with the album. Christine had a few glasses of wine in her and went after Stevie "I wanted you to sing back up on Everywhere but you were not here!" Christine was having none of it. (Source: Mick's book)
