BREAKING: Christine McVie to rejoin Fleetwood Mac for 2013 tour

[Villavic]

Even though in Peru today is not Fool's day, but December 28th (and we call it Innocents day), I didn't believe it any time. I would have believe it if it says "for some special dates", but not the whole tour.

[Gene]

Not that funny, was it?

[HomerMcvie]

Not That Funny, given how much it would mean, to so many of us, for that scenario to be true...

[jbrownsjr]

This was already done and it was cruel the first time.

Relax people. It's only music. It's not as if he said "A cure for Cancer was found!!! APRIL FOOL'S!!!"

Amen. I sometimes feel I'm living in an era where humour is being rationed. Maybe it's because of the Recession...

[shackin'up]

i thought it was funny, although tasteless and very obviously an april foolsjoke. I chuckled.

[Nathan]

Stupid. Waste of space.

[jcalzaretta]

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy sheet .This thread title shocked me. Is this true or a April fools joke they are pulling in front of FM fans.

I tell you all one thing .They will clean house on ticket sales if Christine rejoins the Mac on this tour.

[Eugene]

Skip, RELAX. It's a joke by the original poster.

I thought it was a funny AF joke - I fell for it for a few seconds. No harm, no foul.

But if I read you right, and you're saying that tickets for this tour would suddenly sell out if Christine did come back into the fold... I gotta disagree. It's not like it's been that long since Chris toured with them, and she's just not as vital to the band - to casual fans - as Stevie or Lindsey... IMO

We're not talking Mike Nesmith rejoining the Monkees here!

Disagree. If you asked the casual fan to name the FM songs they know and might want to hear at a concert, at least half would be hers.

At both shows I saw in 03 and 09 people were wondering aloud why a lot of the "80s hits" eg Little Lies and Everywhere had been left out. They may not know her name or face as well as they might know Stevie's, but they know her songs and tend to expect them. Stevie admitted as much before Unleashed when explaining why they were attempting Say You Love Me.

Not true, I will never go see them live again without the whole band. Just not the same for me. It's not like I just like CM, it's that I like ALL of them together. Magic is GONE for me...but I'll still buy the new stuff they record. If this thread was true...I'd buy a ticket in a second.

Is this response the real April Fools joke?! If Christine came back, there'd be WAY more audience enthusiasm from the general public--not to mention the fans.

Thank god we're not talking about the Monkees. The Mac with Christine is someting way bigger.
