New interview with Christine McVie

[Storms123]

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.

Normally I would agree with that, but I would think she would want to benefit from the momentum of the induction. Also, when all of the "lies" were being spewed from the band when LB was initially fired, Stevie alluded to not being able to change the dynamics of the FM tour (ie Lindsey wanting a delay) because she had other commitments in the back half of 2019.
And I am with you on the dubiousness of a new album.

It's all lining up perfectly. She'll use the RRHOF thing as a reason to do a small solo tour which gives her yet another "out" for not recording with the mac. She will then take a year off after that tour. By the end of that year off, by that point it will be about time for Mick to start up the oldies jukebox tour one more time, with nothing new from the mac or her. It's a new band though!!

But hey, Christine just said she is perfectly happy putting aside her songwriting and new music ideas, so they should all be thrilled as punch.

This crap is beyond predictable at this point.

I've got a great title for the solo tour:

An Evening With Stevie Nicks - Shouting The Hits 2019

I mean, the Australia tour dates run through Sept. 21. To get her solo band together for rehearsals and hit the road again, she's going to need at least three weeks. Accounting for zero days of rest, which would be unprecedented for her, the earliest she could be out on the road would be November. And even at that, it's a solid 6+ months after the induction. I just can't imagine it, but then again, crazier things have occurred within this band in the past year.

I do think she has a solo tour lined up, though. That's been the thought from the beginning, right? LB may have asked about pushing FM2018-19 dates back a few months, and she used her commitments in 2020 as leverage.

Precisely--so--new album drops in 2022-2023?

[BigAl84]

Having a strange deja vu moment. Remember all that heated debate about 2017-18 being the year of the new Mac album at the very latest because surely stevie would eventually come around.

TOTALLY
-Stevie said on the red carpet at "School of Rock" in December of 2015 FM was going back into the studio. One of them says something, someone else concurs and then someone else refutes it. Fleetwood Mac in a nutshell
