Looks like she's doing the FM album next year instead!

Awesome news!

Now all the "grumpies" on this forum (who were CERTAIN Stevie wasn't going to participate) can shut the hell up now.

Thank you...thank you. You took the words right out of my mouth. I knew she would do the new album....but now that the news is out, all those naysayers and folks who were wishing she would leave FM seem to be silent.

Due to Stevie's long-standing silence on the FM album subject, and her wrapping up a 3 year dedication to FM, I really didn't think we had a snowball's chance in hell of her doing a FM album anytime soon. I'm personally delighted she has proven that wrong, though. It's been nearly 3 decades since the last FM album with all 5 Fireflies; over a dozen since Say You Will- I'm desperately ready for a FM studio album. I realize we all enjoy Stevie in different ways, and for different reasons; but for me personally, I will always chose Stevie in FM versus solo.

Not so fast. This is Fleetwood Mac we're talking about.

I wonder what Barry thinks?

Yeah i know, but its different now they need to move fast before God forbid something happens to one of them during this decade. I think with Johns health scare was the turning point, to get a move on & crank this last album out asap.

Of course Barry would be keen as

Well, looks like the solo fans might be getting their wish after all. The website was just updated:

I don't know that I believe anything from that page anymore, though.

Right??? Haha! And considering Roger Friedman, who is responsible for this website, got his start (and is still very much apart of) Fox News, misinformation or "spinning" wouldn't surprise me.

HOWEVER, If this info is indeed true, I'm glad we're getting both a new Mac record and another solo venture. Now the question is exactly WHAT are these solo "projects"? Another album? A tour?

I have a strong feeling that regardless of when the new album is complete, Fleetwood Mac will still wait to release it in 2017 to coincide with the Rumours anniversary. So that's a year, or year and a half away. Plenty of time for Stevie to join the band for a month (or less) to work on her songs and do back up vocals on the other songwriter's songs.

If solo project(s) means a new album and tour, there's plenty of time to do that as well. Considering that it took five months from the day Stevie flew to Nashville, up until the release of 24KG, I'd say another SFTV project is do-able. Not so sure another collaboration of new material with Dave Stewart (a la "IYD") would fit inside that time frame, but anything is possible if demos of new material already exist, so I wouldn't count that out.

Then of course she also said she wanted to tour behind 24KG, so there's a good three months dedicated to that. Also plausible within the next year or year and a half.

If I were to hypothetically guess a timeline for the next year, I'd say

2016
Jan-Feb ~ vacation and rest from the past year of touring
Mar ~ Studio with Fleetwood Mac
April ~ Nashville for new album sessions?
April thru Sept ~ overdubs and finishing touches on both solo and Fleetwood projects
Oct ~ release 9th solo album
Oct-Dec ~ 3 month tour to promote both 24KG and new solo album?

2017
Jan-April ~ rest
May ~ new Fleetwood Mac album released. Rumours is repackaged, remastered and rereleased for the millionth time with yet more rare crap we didn't know about.
May til the next year - HUGE tour (maybe even Farewell Tour?) to promote new album and Rumours.

Of course, as always, ALL of this is just wishful thinking on my part.

Plausible.
I'm not sure I like the idea of a FM album being released more than a year after it was recorded though (athough many of the tracks would be several years after they were first recorded).

Her finally mentioning they'll do a new album at some indefinite point in the future does nothing to appease the frustration of her fence straddling for YEARS and YEARS.

I never thought she wouldn't do an album, just like I never thought I would die. The question is WHEN will it happen. I wanted a new album two years ago and I don't blame Stevie for it not happening. I blame the other four for putting up with her nonsense and not just recording without her, without regard to the commercial impact. I always said that they could do an album as a foursome and then do ANOTHER album with Stevie whenever Stevie decided she was ready. That way we would have had two albums instead of the one we might be getting when they start hitting the age of 75.

Her finally discussing the possibility of a new album doesn't erase or refute the complaints that have been made for years. And it's not as if her unflailing supporters have been proven right about anything. I don't recall that many people saying she wouldn't do an album. I think the complaints were about the TIME it was taking for her to say yes or no and keeping everyone hanging. This vague announcement doesn't change any of that.

I always knew she would do an album, too. But my thought was leave her alone and she'll come home wagging her tail behind her. if the others had just proceeded to record without her -- or if they do that even NOW that would hasten her decision to finally record with them. She's only holding out as long as they keep waiting and begging.

They made all of their tour money, so they don't have anything to lose by recording without her. And it won't be the band's swan song, because they can record WITH her in the future and even get more attention for the album of five, BECAUSE they had done one in her absence.

I'm sure Barry could fill their shoes if need be. Who's
more dexterous than he?

Is this a new Seinfeld episode I don't know about?

That last post was about as rankled as I've read from you.

Old Stephanie seems to be getting under everyone's skin.

But, alas, Stevie has done stranger things, so let's see.

Well it only fizzled out because she couldn't promote it.

And this might not mean anything either, but he changed his cover photo to a shot of him and Stevie on stage. He does that periodically, but still...
