Fleetwood Mac kicked off their North American tour with band members Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie – and they have revealed their thoughts about returning to play live shows.

However, original member Christine McVie decided not to join her old buddies. McVie's choice came as a big blow for Nicks.

Nicks said that she really misses McVie, who has not toured with the band since 1998.

"I just actually got a note from her and I sat down night before last and wrote her a two-page letter," she said. "You know, I think I ended the letter with: 'I wish you would come back and save me, but I know you can't and I understand why.'

“You know, I miss her every day because she was my best friend. I had a great BFF in the band, I had her to talk to and I had her to hang out with. She was my best gal, you know?"

The group is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the best-selling "Rumours" album, which has moved some 20 million units in the United States.

Mick Fleetwood explained why he thinks fans are still so interested in the band after all these years.

"I think we have the ingredients of say, when you talk about someone like Neil Young, for instance, where he still loves to do what he does, he's still very vested in his art form and what he does, the musicality and he tours and he stops. He has a career," Fleetwood said.

"He's still really good. And it becomes something, like Stevie mentioned in another interview, this is what we do and it's all of that that makes this work, you know, and makes it really possible with the possibilities that can unfold out of it, you know.

“We have a safe harbour and it's the thing we created, which is Fleetwood Mac and all the lovely music that is being celebrated in a way where you sit there and say, 'Oh my God,' you've been brought up around it and so forth. All of these things are really unfolding now for us to cogitate on and still be able to go out there and do what we're doing now – which is exciting and revealing for us in personal ways."
