More Christine McVie Rumours

**jbrownsjr** · #1 02-04-2013, 10:54 PM

Since leaving Fleetwood Mac in 1998, Christine McVie has stayed close with the band, but refused all attempts to rejoin the group, largely due to her fear of flying. However, that might be changing. In a new interview, titular drummer Mick Fleetwood said that he is doing his best to lure her back into the fold for their upcoming tour.

“I’m seeing Chris here in London before I leave,” he told the English tabloid the Sun. “And even though she loathes flying and she’s never been back to the United States since the day she left, she is getting on a plane and flying to Hawaii with me. I’m going to hold her hand all the way, even if I have to handcuff it.”

This contradicts McVie’s own words from last month, where the keyboardist/singer said she was content to be out of the spotlight. And both Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, independently of each other, admitted that her return was unlikely, but Fleetwood is hoping that being around her old bandmates will rekindle the desire to get back on stage with them.

“She’s going to come and stay for three weeks in Maui,” he continued. “I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it. John’s going to come over from Honolulu to see her and then she’s going to L.A. to see Stevie, who misses her terribly and is really excited to see her. But it’ll be her decision. But we’d make her very welcome if she wanted to creep on that stage again.”

Even if McVie decides against a return to the road, she will have the opportunity to see them. The band announced five shows today (Feb. 4) in the U.K. and Ireland in September and October, with tickets going on sale Saturday (Feb. 8).

I'm glad she's getting out of the house. It makes me sad to think of her shutting herself off from the world and letting her choices be driven by fear. This visit is definitely a step in the right direction.

Will it lead to her rejoining the group? I highly doubt it, although I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong.

So, did Christine just not tell the others that she was in New York to promote her solo album in 2004?!

Yep! And she appeared on another show, I think, as well as a few US radio programmes.

I'm also glad she is getting out and getting together with her old friends.

I hope she will do something with the band for good ole time sake.

If it has to do with her fear of flying.My problem is air sickness and motion sickness.I rather drive and see our beautiful country but I'll fly if I have too.

Me too. I'm terrified of flying. I CAN do it if I have to, but I HATE it. My rule is, if it's 1000 miles or less, my happy ass is driving it!

I don't know; don't think so. I remember hearing one of the US radio shows via a link in 04. They played the iTunes exclusive acoustic version of Friend and Chris said she hadn't heard it before!
