More Christine McVie Rumours

[Gailh]

the last time John did a Q&A I asked him if there was ever a possibility of Christine playing with them onstage (this would have been for the SYW tour) and he said there never was a chance of her doing so

I can't imagine she would want to play live. she hasn't done that for nearly 14 years

Be nice but I can't see it myself

sadly, you're probably right. This is all probably Mick's idea to generate tour buzz. But again, people do change over the years. Maybe Chris is just plain bored and needs to sing and play again, if only for a night or two.

That's true too. Though common sense makes me think that nowadays, Christine almost 70, has less intentions to sing in public than in the past.

But also episodes like the one happened on august 7, 1987, made me think (while I was reading Mick's book during early 90s) that Lindsey would never rejoin Fleetwood Mac:

Lindsey then came back into the house, very distraught. He shouted, "Get that woman (Stevie) out of my life that schizophrenic bitch!" Christine was furious. "Lindsey, look at yourself, screaming like a madman." There was a silence. And John McVie quietly said to Lindsey Buckingham, "I think you'd better leave now."
"You're a bunch of selfish bastards," Lindsey said, and walked out. He sat in his car in the driveway for fifteen minutes, obviously distraught, but nobody wanted to go to him. Eventually, we heard him start his motor and leave.

And now 4 pieces of that lineup looked so happy on stage. So.. anything can happen.

Sure, but in '87 Lindsey left because of personal differences with the others and a desire to do solo records. Christine left because the thought of going up on stage again and travelling stressed the hell out of her.

It's been 15 years. As you say, she's nearly 70. She won't do it.

I'll go with my official policy when it comes to any band really.....I'll believe it when I see It.

I'm not holding my breath on this becausev I believe that Chris is retired permenantly. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Lindsey quit FM because he thought Stevie was going to die.

There's a reason I've never seen Fleetwood Mac live, and probably never will. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the classic Rumours line-up hasn't toured Britain (Hi, remember us?) since 1980. Yes I know there was that all-too-brief 1998 Brit Awards appearance, but would you give a starving dog a rubber bone?

Christine is, for me, the heart and soul of the band and I just can't get too excited about the four-piece line-up cranking out another very predictable set list. If Chris does appear, maybe it will be an unannounced cameo at the end of the set at a London show. I really don't think she'd want the stress of performing a full set over several nights. Although I'd crawl across broken glass for a ticket if she changed her mind.

It's just Mick's pipe dream. He publicly expresses his thoughts and the press and fans go nuts with overblown reactions. It's not going to happen. Sure, Christine might socially meet with her former band members, but she is retired from the music entertainment business. People - get over it! The title of this thread is dubious and very misleading.
