What happens if Christine exits?

Hence why I said “If.”

It’s really just the difference between Crosby, Stills, & Nash vs. Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. No arenas, but still viable. And, because they wouldn’t be playing arenas, they would have significantly less overhead. So it could be a break even to slightly less profit for them.

Wow ... we agree. Fleetwood Mac without Stevie is a 2500ish seat band. Still viable but more of mid-level classic rock outfit rather than an arena band that can highlight a festival.

No doubt the exact reasoning Mi¢k had in his head when faced with a $tevie vs. Lindsey ultimatum.

plus, they are NOT selling out arenas now, even though they are trying really hard, and i guess will probably will be mostly successful by the show time. with a few convenient cancellations and closings of the arena top levels (something that never happened on their last 3 tours).

and BuckVie were selling sheds, not theaters.

so promoters' and Mick's calculations misfired so far.
