Planet Rock can exclusively reveal that Mick Fleetwood is trying to persuade Christine McVie to re-join Fleetwood Mac.

McVie retired from the band in the late 1990’s and hasn’t performed with them since.

He also confirmed that Fleetwood Mac will announce the European leg of their forthcoming world tour in the coming weeks.

Mick told Planet Rock’s Darren Redick, "I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with my sister, Christine McVie, and that’s sort of a lovely, nice thing to be doing. Getting her out of the English cold there for a few weeks ...and me and Chris will be flying back [to Mick’s home in Hawaii] after my work in London”.

Darren asked Mick if Christine would be with them for their shows in the UK and Mick went on to say, "I would love that and I would welcome that as we all would and I truly hope that happens. And it might just be the case and I will take that to the fore and be reminded that a lot of people would love to see that happen. It would be an emotionally charged moment that would be lovely to have happen. And I know everyone in the band would welcome that. So you never know!”.

As far as the world tour goes, Fleetwood Mac look likely to be in England by the autumn. Mick said, "We’re going to be touring in September and October in England and in Europe, we’re going on a massive world tour, which is getting more massive by the second, and those shows will be announced in the next few days”.

If Mick pulls that off he will deserve a Nobel Prize.

Well, as Stevie once put it, "Mick can be pretty magic sometimes..." I don't think he's quite that magic but who knows. I would love to see Chris perform with them again...

I would beg, steal, or borrow to go see Fleetwood Mac this year if Christine returned. Fleetwood Mac cancelled their Raleigh, NC date for the Dance Tour (which I had tickets for!), and so I was never able to see the full Rumours lineup. I would vastly prefer a new Mac album with Christine, but I wouldn't mind a tour... I've never seen her live. I saw the Time lineup before the Time album was released, and she didn't go out on that tour either.

Since Christine is meeting the band in LA, then travelling back to Mick's home in Hawaii, I am being cautiously optimistic that he'll be able to wrangle something out of her.

I hope so! I do find it intriguing that after two tours and many years she's suddenly in the mood to "visit" her former bandmates. Time will tell...

I just read through this thread and I was struck by how much everyone loves Christine. We all just love her, don't we? Even for those fans whose favorite members are Stevie or Lindsey, there's just so much love for Chris. It made me feel good, to read about all that love for Chris.

There is so much longing in this thread for Christine to rejoin the band. We fans have never stopped hoping in our hearts that she would work with the other four again, even if we believed with our good sense that she was done with music for good.

I'm hoping at the very least he can get her to lay down some vocals and keys or something on some of the tracks they did with Lindsey.

But I'd love for her to reunite with them even for one night. Maybe if the last stop of the tour is in the UK she could be persuaded to join them.

Well, for me Chris is the Heart if not the heart and soul(vocally) for the band. I'm sure many agree. Although she was never the "lead" she was very much the lead singer for many years, imo.

Yes, Stevie drew me to the band as she did many others....but I would bet it was Chris' sweet, catchy and tender songs that made many fall in love with the whole band.

The longer Chris is gone the longer I miss her contributions to the band: her songwriting, her beautiful voice, her keyboard stylings and her grace. She was the perfect balance between Stevie and Lindsey.
