I think it's a matter of practicality for Stevie to tour in Europe solo again. Logistically, it's so expensive (the cost of petrol alone) for her to pack it up and trek over to Europe, unless she has a huge incentive that masses of people will show up (as in Australia). Its one thing if it's Fleetwood Mac, but Stevie's solo career was dead on arrival in Europe. Her 1st 3 solo releases were virtually ignored. She finally had a modest success after TITN with OSOTM. But since then, other than a well spring of adoration from the likes of Bats For Lashes or Florence & The Machine etc., Stevie - the solo artist, is flying under the radar in Europe.
Please correct me (European Ledgie's) if my observations are wrong. But unless IYD is a success (having Dave Stewart attached may generate some attention) in Europe, your best chances of seeing Stevie will be if Rod and her extend the Heart & Soul gig and she tours with Rod over there sometime this year.
