People change their minds all the time in life and especially the retirement/breakup world of Rock. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I quite agree and would love it if Christine were to come back to perform live or record. But read that Mojo interview which she gave late last year. There is no trace there of any desire whatsoever to return to the fray.

I agree that the timing of this visit seems 'fishy', but if she does fly over (and we've only Mick's word that she might plan to do so and, with respect, he's said stuff before that has turned out to have been rather pre-emptive or just plain confused) I can only imagine it would be to catch up with old friends. She has made it so clear she doesn't want to be pulled back into touring, which I think she would fear if she even did so much as lay down some backing vocals on a new track.

My instinct tells me that (a) she may not even fly over, and (b) if she does, it will be strictly as a non-band member who wants to see her friends. All that said, I would be delighted to hear that she helped with a track or two.
