She doesn't have to tour to be with the band. Mick knows this. Stop saying that's the reason. I'd rather he just said she hates them (or some of them) and at least then I'd feel I could get on with my life.

As for Stevie, she said she and Lindsey fought through the entire SYW production, so she doesn't want to commit, not because she doesn't have the time (hours, days, months), but because she doesn't have the time for that kind of stress.

It's also the stage fright with Chris, though. I remember a radio interview she did in 2004 where she said if anyone asked her to play live in front of an audience now she'd "have a heart attack". It's the touring/flying, to be sure, but it's also the nerves and the build-up. I certainly don't think she hates any of them, but she left them behind and changed her life because she knew that if she stayed in LA, around the same people all her life, she'd constantly be sucked back into a life she was tired of.
