New interview with Christine McVie

I don't think the comment is that deep. People being "difficult to work with" has been the issue of literally every recording session FMac has had. Stevie, Lindsey, Danny, Bob, Mick, John, Christine, and their crew have always had strife. When she makes that comment it's probably out of relief that she might be working with someone that isn't super dramatic for a change .

It's also possible to give someone a compliment without it being a backhanded insult to someone else. Decent people do that all the time.

There's been a lot of talk of new Fleetwood Mac material over the last few years, and obviously you had your joint album with Lindsay a couple of years ago - are you guys working on fresh material?

With the new band? No not yet.

That almost suggests to me that she might be/have been also working with Lindsey.

There are a couple of songs we've had in mind with Neil, and he seems like he'll be easy to work with

I didn’t read anything into this other than Neil seems like he’ll be easy to work with. I don’t think it’s in relation to anyone else.

This world tour is going to take most of the year. Maybe next year. Nobody's made any decisions about that yet.

The tour will go into next year or they’ll do an album next year?

I kind of love the vagueness.

Realistically, though, Stevie almost has to do a solo tour, with the RRHOF induction.

There's really no way for this to be true. Lindsey said he hadn't heard from Christine since he was fired, then Christine was in rehearsals and then the tour while Lindsey was on his solo tour, followed by the holidays and then Lindsey's surgery. Lindsey did confirm he got an email from Christine after the settlement, but really, there's no way they've had time to work together. I'm not saying they won't collaborate later, just that there's no way it's happened since they toured together for Buck/Vie. There just hasn't been time.

Good to see you back. Your positivity is missed around here.

I have to think Stevie is going to solo tour on the back of the RRHOF induction. This will potentially hamper any new album.

Stevie can't solo tour until September or October, right? Won't she want a little time off after Fleetwood Mac's tour?

If there's a Mac album in the works (I'm perhaps a little dubious), I think it highly unlikely that Stevie will spend much time in the studio with the rest of the gang. Historically, even when Lindsey isn't around, Stevie doesn't hang out in the studio with Fleetwood Mac. She would have the same problem she's always had: Unless the band is tracking her song, she has nothing to do that takes longer than a day or two. She just doesn't hang around a studio if there's no work on her own songs.
