Christine visiting Mick and John in Feb?

[Phil]

There is no chance of Christine touring with or without Fleetwood Mac in the future, but this doesn't necessarily rule out involvement in the next Mac studio recording. Despite Lindsey's reluctance to give up stage time to another performer, if Christine was to contribute to a potential future album, then Stevie only has to submit three or four songs and hey presto, he gets his wish! Lindsey has expressed concern about Stevie not having any material, but I dare say that if she knew Christine was on board, she'd readily rise to the occasion.
If Mick were wise, he would entice Christine to record with them one last time for what surely would be the final Mac album. It would be pointless rehashing the tour request, but she just may concede to a final studio recording. Trotters crossed...

If that i the case it would be enough gift to me. but I doubt they will record an entire album in HI. Anyway, anything is possible.

Christine basically told Fleetwood Mac "We are never ever ever getting back together." (In the words of Stevie Nicks). BUT imagine if she performed like one song with them, I would DIE. I don't think I'd be able to handle it.

She was probably just visiting them, jamming with them a little bit and relaxin'.

I think this is right, and as you said she is just relaxing and visiting her friends.

But, there are lot of "never ever"s that just lasted some years, in music history, politics, nations, humanity history in general.

So.. though unlikely... let's hope!!

I think it's certainly possible; we know Mick & John have lived in Hawaii full time for several years now. Lindsey was looking to buy in Hawaii a year or two ago (not sure if he ever completed a purchase), and Stevie vacations on Maui in the same house pretty often to hear her tell it. So every single one of them have strong ties to Hawaii. Getting out of LA might just be exactly what it takes to get these folks to record again. Stevie has mentioned in a recent interview how discontent she is with her LA homes, and how she rents places outside of LA to get away. And her pessimism is the factor preventing a new Mac album... if she were to become happier, she might just become ready to go into the studio. Let's not forget Fleetwood Mac (the Rumours crew) hasn't recorded all of it's albums in LA anyway- we know Rumours was recorded in Sausalito and Mirage in a rented French Chateau.

Knowing Mick if this was going to happen, he'd have said so already... "THE MAC IS BACK WITH CHRISTINE!"

That said... maybe they are using Christine to get Stevie onboard with a new album... or maybe they are trying to get her involved in a record...? God knows.

It is unusual that she's traveling to see them, considering she hates to do so. We could guess about it all day... but the fact that Mick even mentioned it to begin with surely says something.

my thoughts exactly, it could be a publicity stunt. Not that I think Mick is lying. I don't. It's not odd that Chris would want to visit them....but if the convo went something like this....

Mick: sure you can come out and jam with the band, advise vocals to S/L (on one of your songs) and mb record a new tune with us....No, no, Chris you will not be pressured....we love you and value your privacy. For old times sake...let me show you around the Vineyard and Fleetwoods.......

I think Mick has an Ace up his sleeve and could persuade Chris into doing just one show!

I think you all might have missed a recent interview.

Nope. Seen it. It's just that some of us choose to be insanely hopeful.

Also, aren't they going to be in rehearsal in February anyway. It's not like she will just be with John and Mick. Around that time, John and Mick will have to be with Stevie and Lindsey at least part of the time. I don't think they can get away from Mac preparations for more than a weekend, so close to the tour. So, the five of them would have to be together, whether it's Hawaii or Los Angeles. Also, why would Mick say that? Why tell us? He is . . . he is creating a buzz for some reason.

And remember Mick already gave an interview a few weeks ago in which he daydreamed aloud about Christine singing on one of Stevie's new songs -- that Stevie hasn't given the band yet. Why would he say that? He was planning something with Christine even a month ago. It may never pan out, but that wasn't random musing on his part.

Here's another quote I know nothing about but don't worry. I believe you. You don't have to stay up all night finding a link to back this up. Anyway this is really great news from Mick. There must be a reason he'd publicly announce Christine's upcoming visit. Christine is coming in person to collect her 5 million dollars from Stevie.

I think there has to be something in it. I mean, from all accounts we've heard, Chris packed up her stuff and high tailed it back to England in 1998 and has only met with the band perhaps twice since; both times in London. Since 1998 we've heard from Chris & the band about how she hated spending all her time touring, how she had a problem with stage fright & fear of flying after giving up alcohol; but never anything about her not being interested in recording with Fleetwood Mac ever again. If you ask me, Mick is trying to plant a seed for one last Mac album & he wants Chris involved. Of course, there's no telling if the seed will germinate... but at least Chris is flying out. That says a heck of a lot to me. I could be reading way, way too much into it. But why else would Chris fly out to see the boys after all this time? Why not just wait for the band to hit London later this year for a visit. Something's brewing, folks.

But this is not an old interview. It's a recent one. What is happening to you, Viv? You are falling apart before my eyes. Anyway, I now think that Mick planned something during this Hawaiian visit when he made this comment below.

Earlier this year Mick Fleetwood spoke of McVie to VH1 Classic Radio:

"She’s done. She’s out of the music business, sadly. But I always leave the door slightly open because there maybe a situation where – hey – she may write a song with Stevie and Stevie will sing it, and she’ll do a little bit of vocalizing on it."

While McVie’s presence on the successful long list of FM songs will be missed, we are all looking forward to the rest of the band, and their new songs…

Oh wow.Thats nice to hear.Maybe some magic might happen.
