More Christine McVie Rumours

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'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.

I see what you're saying, however, this is really a strange coincidence that she is traveling to the United States after all of this time just to "visit" Mick and the gang. If it were any other time, I would agree, but people do change over time. Why is she coming to the U.S. now? Anything is possible.. fingers crossed.

Retirement or not, I don't think at least a guest appearance is out of the question. Now if they could talk her into participating in a new album, that would be truly something to look forward to. A new album with her full participation, I think would actually sell, and sell quite well.

She's probably bored out of her gored.
