Rumours of Lindsey leaving the band?

[mottabam]

I'm very skeptical of all the rumors surrounding Buckingham either leaving the band or possibly being fired, or the ultimatum from Stevie. At this stage of the game it just doesn't make sense. I personally hope it is all just made up nonsense.
I've seen the band on every tour since 1982 through all the line ups including the short lived "Time" era band. When Christine returned to the band I couldn't be happier, sort of felt like the Dance era again. This is the way I want to remember the band should they decide to call it a day and hang up the instruments. End it on a high note. For your last tour, or farewell tour, to be with a replacement guitarist makes no sense to me and I would prefer to stay home rather than dish out cash to see a new band member taking a legends spot, no matter if they are well known or not.
I was so looking forward to this 2018 tour but feel uncomfortable should any of the speculation end up being true.
