Appreciate your positive post. I'm chill with it!

If they could brag about this new "profound" music in ROLING STONE 1.5 years ago and sell the then upcoming tour as a prelude to this compelling next chapter, then they can at least give an official press release with a timeline. We've waited, we've supported their greatest hits reunion, we've agonized over whether Stevie will or will not participate in the new album, we've wondered if there will be a new album, we've watched the release date of this supposed new album change from the end of 2015 to possibly 2016 to possibly 2017. I'm really disgusted by it. So many ardent fans have waited decades for new music by these five people. I don't see why they can't collectively come up with a reasonable timeline, stick to it, and let us know right away. If they could whet our appetites with news of the McVie-Buckingham collaborations, they can certainly respect us enough to follow through on something more concrete. I'm tired of hearing that the new album will come out in a year or two, when we don't event know for sure it will come out, what the progress is, what the plan is, etc. Whatever their plans, they owe--and I believe owe is the right word--their fans some real information.

Yes, we've exaggerated the completeness of these songs. Not only would Christine and Stevie need to add to the Mitchell Froom tracks, Stevie and John need to add to the Lindsey/Christine collaborations.

Yes, we may have exaggerated the completeness of the material. Thus underscoring the need for the band to release clear information about where they are in the process. We deserve concrete information. We've been teased by the prospect of the new songs, which aren't all that new anymore. The teasing may have been a good PR strategy for selling tickets to the upcoming tour, but now that the tour is over and they've made their millions on us, they should give us a clear timeline.

Yep.

They've just done a mega tour and deserve a little bit of a break (but not too long). The spanner in the works that has stopped an album appearing before now is Stevie. Its her fault.
They have lots of songs part-finished and Mick said they'd be going into the studio in the Spring. Last we heard they still weren't sure Stevie would be on board. However, she doesn't seem to be doing anything...no evidence of a SN tour or album in the near future so my guess is she'll join them in May to add vocals to the songs already recorded and add a few of her own (which she's tucked away writing right at this very minute).
Mick with soon be with his band down under for a while.
Chris is back in the UK- probably tying up loose ends. I'm still not sure her house has sold yet. I think it had some sort of open viewing day recently.

My guess is they'll all reconvene soon to sort out an album that will be released later this year. Big shabang tour in 2017 to mark 50 yrs (plus 40 yrs since Rumours, 30 yrs since Tango, 20 yrs since the Dance).

The album will happen... have faith.
(but they're all big grown ups that owe everyone absolutely diddly-squat)

Yes .You have good points here.They dont owe us nothing.I dont have it in writing here saying that FM owes Skip a album.

I never take those magazine articles to seriously as what any artist said about whats coming up for them .They dont know what the future holds and things come up.

The same as they say at the end of their concert as they say"We will see you here next year".

Give it time guys like I've been saying.We might turn blue like the Blue Man Group but it will be worth the wait.

After its been said and done.We be fussing about it on how its so great or some say it sucks for months on end.Also God willing .I.m not counting them out to close up shop after 2017.

They can slack of these long tours and do small shows.They dont need the cash.

I'd like to draw everyone's attention to a new Christine interview as posted in the 'Christine McVie forum' (many thanks Danielle)

(selected exceprts)


Since McVie’s return, the band has completed a world tour taking in 120 shows. Now Fleetwood Mac is in the process of recording a new album.

“I started sending demos to Lindsey and he worked on them, then we got together to start making a record – we’re talking two years ago now. We only got it half-finished; we’ve got seven or eight songs at the moment, and we’re very, very thrilled with them.”

Fans will have to be patient – getting each band member in the same room is not as easy as it once was. “I’m waiting to hear when we’re going to finish it, which I suspect will be April. Everybody has different things going on. But my feet are firmly planted in this record at the moment, because quite a lot of the songs are mine!

“The songs are fantastic, they have a whiff of Rumours about them. I think people could do with a new Mac album from the five of us.” Once the album is ready, McVie says the band will embark on another tour. “Depending on how decrepit we feel, it may not be the last. We’re all fit, so we think we can do another tour and put a record out – and people seem to love us, so we appreciate that.”

For now, McVie is back in London, and enjoying what Mayfair has to offer. “I love it around Bond Street – now I’m back in the city, that’s top of my list: burning some plastic!” As for Fleetwood Mac, she is content just seeing where the music will take her. “It’s a rebirth, in a sense – and it’s fantastic because we’re way over 60. I’m having a ball.”

Thanks for posting this. I love how enthusiastic Chris is to music and touring again. I also love how many of the songs are Christine songs. Its sort of spooky because last week I posted my dream about Christine and what she said about the new album. Its almost identical to what she actually said here that once Fleetwood Mac members go their own way its always hard to get them together again

[James89]

WOOHOO!!! I've been waiting for news like this on this thread for ages!

Anything we get at this point is just gravy.

That's kind of the way I see it, too. And the fact that she's so gung-ho after a long tour... I'm so pleased...

[lilyfee]

"And people seem to love us"

...Ya think??

[aleuzzi]

Thanks for the post Fuzzy Plum. I checked both Christine's Facebook page and the FM website last night and there was nothing. I guess this is as recent as recent news gets! I am excited to read that she has at least a month in mind (April) when the band will begin working on the new matieral. And I'm glad she has a personal investment in it. This kind of information is what I was looking for. It's still somewhat iffy but at least now we know something....
