If "24 Karat Gold" is a major success will Stevie regret touring with FM

I agree that Christine's return will be mutually beneficial to both the band and Stevie's album. Yet there are sacrifices and a price to pay.

Another cash-grab Fleetwood Mac tour distracts them from finishing an album, and it delays Stevie from touring to promote her new album. But I think it will be a huge success, even though she'll be on the road with Fleetwood Mac.

"Still The Same Old Story...What Price Glory"

There's no point in touring 24K almost 2 years after it was released...I would prefer Stevie working on another new record in 2016 and release another album in 2017 with a proper tour...

Stevie can tour and promote 24 Karat between the first and second legs of the FM tour.

I don't know how long their break is, but the tour may not start up again until it's time for Glastonbury, so she could have 4-5 months in between. The album won't even be a year old.

I'd prefer if she took 3 weeks each year to record 16 songs, and gave us an album a year until she decides to retire from recording.

That option moves to the top of the list if 24K sounds really good...

If Stevie tours shortly after the FM tour (and I hope she does) will she have time for the FM album???

Mark my words, there WILL be a new Fleetwood Mac album released. I cannot speculate on the release date, because these people's recording process takes forever, but the record WILL see the light of day. There is no way that all of the new material that Chris, Lindsey, John and Mick have already worked on is just going to be scrapped. As far as generating record label interest to release the new music, I'm quite sure Warner Bros. will step up to the plate and sign them to at least a one album deal. If not, there will be plenty of other labels willing to release a record with the RUMOURS LINEUP. This will be the FIRST PROPER STUDIO ALBUM from the RUMOURS lineup in over 27 years. No record label would pass up the chance to release it.

I'm sure Stevie has already sent THE MAC at least 4 tracks that were held back from "24 Karat Gold" specifically for the new project. Basically, all the band has to do is re-record them and add Stevie's vocals at a later time. Stevie could basically spend about 15 days in the studio with MAC and have her parts to the record completed in no time at all. The record WILL happen.

This is basically my feeling too, though I expect at least one of Stevie's contributions to the album will be new - I don't think FM are trying to make a "vault" record too.

Yes, I think she'll write at least one new one for the record. I REALLY don't think FM will go the "double album" route this time out. I'm expecting about 4 of Stevie's songs to make the record. "Smile At You", "Running Through The Garden", "Goodbye Baby" made the last record and those demos had been floating around for years. These so called vault songs end up on just about every record.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that "Space Needle", and "My Sanctuary" will be on the new MAC record. I know everyone says it's a solo song, but I have this gut feeling that Fleetwood Mac may try to record "Julia" and see how it turns out with Chris, Lindsey and Stevie singing harmony vocals. I'm just speculating, but nothing is written in stone with The High Priestess. Don't listen to her, listen through her.

Of course she won't. She only chose to do another tour (remember the three year rule) because Chris is back and I'm sure she's thrilled.

I've always hoped Stevie would be capable of recording massive amounts of songs like Linda Ronstadt, or Joan Baez, or even Dusty Springfield lol. I personally love this option.
