Stevie Talks About Recording New Fleetwood Mac Album..Iffy

[olive]

I can not speak for them or speculate ,they have contracts and timelines etc I can wait for a new record they just came off a tour record or not no one is going to rudh to see them ... But I will safely ASS U ME there is one person in this photograph happy he doesn't have to drag his ass all over the world right now

This interview pretty much sets it out- she'll tour at some unspecified distant point with FM but she couldn't give a sh!t about an album.
So, with this in mind...would it really be beyond the realms of possibility they could release a Fleetwood Mac album sans Stevie and then leave the door open to her returning for a tour at some point in the future?
Personally I don't think they should- they should just boot her out and get on with it. But, as they are seemingly reluctant to do that it could be a workable compromise.

John looks horrific...I think they should just announce the bands retirement...With John being such integral part of the band I wonder if he feels like he's on a ride and there's no way off...

Are there other pics of JM from the July show other than the two that have circulated on Twitter? I'm hoping this was just a particularly bad shot of him.

An earlier pic of the band (before the tour?)

Either he's just having a bad day or he's not doing well...Hopefully it's not the later...

Thanks, he looks at least a bit better there. I think he might have been yawning in the prior pic, which is why he looks so out of it.

I agree with what everyone is saying in that it isn't fair to speculate too terribly much about what any member's current health status is, but that said, it's hard not to at least notice that John has lost a ton of weight and appears very different than he did even a year ago.

It's because some of the pictures are huge and take more horizontal space than you have on your screen.

i don't know, i think people are overreacting. i think he just looks his age. people should think of their grandparents or parents that are FM members age. how do they look?

not every musician or entertainer has a need to get work done in order to look younger. Johnny Mac was never the guy who built his success on the basis of his looks.

This is what I'm thinking. I remember a few years ago (before Christine rejoined the band), a tabloid picture of her walking her dogs was circulating, and people were freaking out abut how she looked. And I was thinking, "it's a 70-year-old woman without makeup."

sh&t I look at myself in the mirror some days in the morning and think, "who is that 70 year old woman without makeup?" And I'm several decades younger than that!!!

true. but even with that, he clearly has the appearance of someone who has had some health issues which have taken some toll, even if they are currently resolved.
he definitely looks like he's lost some weight, which could be due to his treatments or to his doctor's recommendations for staying healthy and probably both. he looks a bit gaunt.

Not from the July show, but two from May of smiling John (car shopping).
