He would earn performer royalties on all Mac records, and, because the band lists the entire band as producer on many of their records (Rumours for one) he also earns producer royalties on all records sold where that is the case. Yes, they split that 5 ways among the band and with whoever the outside producer(s) were but he's still getting royalty checks when the band isn't doing new work. Not the same money as when you can add in songwriting royalties and publishing royalties as well but it's not bad at all. It's only a problem if your lifestyle exceeds that income and whatever income you arranged through investments.
