she said - he said why Lindsey Left

[Andrew Smith]

I've always thought that this was the worst thing to happen in Fleetwood Mac's history. They had just produced this great album which Lindsey had put alot of effort into and played a big part in, but then pulled out of the tour to support this album. I have nothing against Billy Burnette and Rick Vito. They were good players, but Lindsey should've been on that tour and played a big part in it, just like he had done on the Tango In The Night album. It wouldn't of been so bad if he had left at the end of the tour and then made way for Billy Burnette and Rick Vito to join the band to work on the follow-up album (which turned out to be Behind The Mask), plus the two new tracks on the 1988 Greatest Hits album.
