If tickets were refunded, I see no reason why they couldn't go on as a quintet.

I'm not so sure Fleetwood Mac could go straight back into the markets they've just toured in, and get good ticket sales, though. Even with Christine's return, it's probably just too soon.

I think it all depends on how the announcement is handled. I think if they did something like Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits, and some of the late night shows, people could actually see she was back.

So I'm guessing touring with Christine in 2014 is not a likely scenario. Hopefully Fleetwood Mac will spend 2014 working on an album... but I have my doubts. We'll see.

The ideal would be for them to spend three months (more than enough time) in the studio recording Stevie and Christine's songs and adding the girls to the songs the boys did last year, hit the road in the summer, and have the album come out while they're on the road.
