Maybe for the first year or two. However, they clearly got past it.

Also, there were those videos of Chris in her house for the ITM sessions, where there were pics, probably from the "Rumours" photo shoot, of Mick and John on her walls.

What are the odds that Stevie and Lindsey have pictures of each other on their walls? They've always they kept any issues they may have had between them in the public eye.

As for any issues around "The Dance", I don't recall John ever saying that he was drinking because of Christine (I suspect he fell off the wagon around BTM), only that she told him to "***ban worthy word, which happens around here*** off" before they got to the bar during one stop of the tour.

Stevie had a blown-up print from the BN photoshoot displayed on her piano. There's a picture from a magazine floating around somewhere.

John didn't say he fell off of the wagon because of Christine. Uncut (not Rolling Stone, as I'd said) said that they he was seen drunk in a bar during the 1997 tour and was mumbling about Christine. Clearly, he still had a flame for her. This prompted Stevie to say that John and Christine would still be together if he could have stopped drinking.

John and Christine's . . . well, John's baggage over losing Christine lasted for at least 20 years after the break up. I gather that Christine didn't have a problem with him and moved on, relatively quickly.

I don't know if Lindsey hangs any pictures of FM on his walls. But seeing as how he put pictures of the whole band -- and LOTS of Stevie (including a shot where his eyes blended into hers) -- in the SYH video that he made himself (with a handheld camera) for his solo album, I think he doesn't have a particular problem looking at her picture.

He did have that big framed pic of himself, Mick, & John in his studio at the old house.

Awww. I was reading the long Rolling Stone article, in thinking of Steve's comments, but then I saw a shorter "catching up" article from 1997 in Rolling Stone and Christine said,

"Just to hear your voice with mine and Stevie's," says Christine McVie to Buckingham. "It just blows me away. I get goose bumps the size of chickens' eggs."

I love that. I know she said it about Lindsey when they did that Disney Coming Home special, but I forgot she said it to him in an interview. Dying here.
