Just wondering if this ever was confirmed or how you know this? Not doubting just wanting to clarify. Because honestly, I always loved Chris and was so glad she came back and I could see them in 2014, but he carried a ton of the heavy lift on the keys. I'd have to think they would need to find someone new to do the same on this tour.

kbchrush ... how stars only align once in a blue moon...and they did for this band. ...

Perfectly put. WHY?

The truth always comes out. I could see the truth on $tevie's face. You better clutch someone's hand. Hang on to someone else while you lie.

I am going to put the main blame on Stevie. She wanted to help out her friend Mike Campbell, and she didn't want to work with Lindsey anymore. The man who told FM he wouldn't join the band without Stevie. She sucks.

So I am not the only one who noticed her gripping John’s arm and clutching Mike’s hand while speaking of how bittersweet it all is???

Nope.

She was doing that throughout the whole thing. My take was that she is so not used to this level of criticism against her, she was really uncomfortable about this interview, and what to say.

I thought it was curious that she was actually quite quiet. She really let Mick do all the talking which she usually doesn't. Having fans mad at her to this extent is new for her and I think it threw her off a bit. Once the tour starts and if the tickets sell, she'll be her old self again.

It's a long 5 months until that opening night, though...

Does this person surrounded by hangers on and sycophants even know about the anger? Or is she told by her people how great everything is? I bet the latter. She is in her own fairy dust bubble.

so Karen or someone must have a lovely job
reading all the FB comments and IG comments slamming her ass to the ground ... some of them are ... ferral. i doubt Stevie is reading them herself and someone wouldn't just say "well, there's been a bit of a backlash..." they would be all like ... there are a few people who are not happy but ... it's mostly very supportive **massive side eye**

but you know what, you have this fanbase ... and some of you have been in it since the beginning with this band (some, like myself much much later) you just can't pull this kind of bull $#it and not expect NO repercussions or people to be like, yeah ok Stevie we still love you (i do but i want to smash her head in too).

and KB, well I'm sure she likes her lifestyle and building giant barnyards and whatnot but I think even if they had no money she would be supportive because it is like anyone losing their job who has a family and loved ones and it impacts all of them she knows we're all mad. she's been reading the FB comments and they're not exactly glowy

i think she was holding onto john's arm so he didn't bolt or punch her in the balls

There was me thinking she was giving John moral support. He looked half asleep through the whole thing and didn't say a word. He never seems to do any music away from the group unlike Mick.

I would be interested to hear any of the facts KB has to offer...

Obviously don't know her so I don't mean to imply she wouldn't but we've all been on the receiving end of a bad situation and the knee jerk response is to lash out (at least for me it is)---she/LeeLee aren't. Much kudos there. There posts are thoughtful and heartfelt.
I've said in other posts--there are NO winners in this situation. It's just bad all around. Not to poke the bear either, but yesterday's interview didn't help the band at all. Sad Situation!

yup!

kbchrush I happened to see a tweet on Mick Fleetwood’s Twitter today that asked ...”what is the secret to Fleetwood Mac’s success?” This question struck a chord with me and compelled me to answer.
But because I am getting old I don’t know how to use Twitter, I’ll just post my thoughts here...maybe someone out there can put it up on Twitter for me lol. So....“what is the secret of FM success Mick?” My opinion/answer is. ..”The heady chemistry and artistry of these 5 members together - John, Christine, Mick, Stevie, and Lindsey. That iconic sound by those 5 coupled with romantic tension and the worlds love of drama made a undeniable cocktail. Each personality and their creativity defined the band and it’s success.” Therefore honors such as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grammys, MusiCares Person of the Year to name a few were earned by this group. It is beyond a shame what has come to pass over recent days. I have lots of thoughts, feelings and facts that I will spare you from at this point. It is my husbands place to speak in his own words when the time is right for him. All I can say is thank you to all the loyal fans that supported FM over the years and for recognizing how stars only align once in a blue moon...and they did for this band. @mickfleetwoodofficial @stevienicks #whoareyoupeople

She edited her post and added Christine and John. That's odd.

I think people should also remember that something like this is probably hard on a family. There's likely a big emotional toll in seeing your loved one get kicked out by the group he's been a part of and devoted so much of his life to for 40 years. And then just the fact that as long as the Buckingham family has existed, they've known their father/husband as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Having to adjust to the fact that he's NOT that anymore and that it happened in such a sad way is probably very difficult.

On top of which, having his credibility and work ethic called into question....Sad situation all around.

And having all the Washington Post articles etc coming out, bringing up all the domestic abuse details again decades after it happened....how does he explain all that to his teenage daughters?
