“John and Christine and Lindsay, the four of us, are going to be finishing up some great music we’ve been working at,” Fleetwood said. “The music is really vibrant and really cool, and it’s Fleetwood Mac, basically.”

The only drawback: Stevie Nicks, who’s currently on a solo tour with the Pretenders, likely won’t be involved.

“Unlike anyone else in the band, she really does have a complete career on her own, you know?” Fleetwood said. “She doesn’t want to spend time in the studio, and she’s doing her own thing. You wish for something else, but that’s not fair after 30, 40 years of doing what we do. Everyone’s got to do what they feel they need at this point.

“But never say never. Down the road, we’re in a good position that we could add her songs and integrate her into some of the music we’ve been working on for four years. So that’s the state of Fleetwood Mac Nation.”

Very interesting. I wouldn't be too disappointed to see/hear a new album without Stevie. In fact, I'd much prefer a real, properly made, organic album of new material rather than an exciting set of new material with a couple of rehashed old songs tagged on just for the sake of it. Bring on the new album.
'Carnival Begin'

I sincerely hope a new album sans Stevie is a success. Cant wait to see how she handles the interview questions later next year when they ask about the album;
Interviewer: 'So, Stevie, you recently had another number one album and now you have this big world tour. When you were all making this album, did you think it would be so successful'
Stevie 'Er, well, er, with this band you never really know. When we were doing songs all those years ago like Landslide...blah blah blah'
