I'm reminded of the Mirage scenario where Stevie threatened she could go to RollingStone and tell everyone how she thought the album sucked if they didn't give her her way. I don't see her being above threatening similar now if they were to put out something without her. That's the biggest issue-- they all know the media sh$tstorm she could and would cause if they didn't do things on her timetable.

I can see the stories now: "It is so sad that the band had to end like this", says Nicks, wiping away a tear. "The band that I gave up my whole life to, just turned its back on me. I have always, always made Fleetwood Mac my first priority. When I did Bella Donna, my first ever solo album, it was a very big deal for me, but I only went on tour for 6 weeks because of my commitment to Fleetwood Mac. My band and I could have kept touring for that record for months and months but it was important to me to let Fleetwood Mac know that they were still everything to me. And now, after everything we've been through together, this will be our sad legacy, to be left out of what is probably their last album ever" etc etc
