I don't know- this all smacks of Mick's flair for drama. We all know how he told the world several years back that Stevie was preventing the band from ever touring again! And they've been touring the world nonstop ever since.

Stevie has gotten everything she has demanded for this new Mac album- Christine's return, her request for an outside producer seems to not be an issue, and it seems like Lindsey has ceased using FM as a playground for sound experimentation.

What I think is going on here is classic Stevie Nicks. She only ever promotes one project at a time. Right now she's promoting this giant FM tour. She doesn't promote future projects; she never has. When the time comes she'll be on board with this last FM album. If for no other reason, than to close the book once & for all.
