Her nagging over the last years, her diva behaviour often unprofessional, sometimes harmful to FMs legacy, while Lindsey played his ass off. I feel that FM without Stevie would still be an integer band, whereas FM without Lindsey is just, well, nothing but a cover band/Stevie background band.

You're right, Fleetwood Mac with Lindsey and without Stevie would have kept their artistic integrity intact, even at the cost of sales. Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey is just a bloated and hideously expensive karaoke act. Even the tribute bands would probably be more fun to watch.

Did Mick threaten to fire Stevie for making 24 KG and touring on it while refusing to participate in the last Fleetwood Mac album? No. But Lindsey wanting to make his own solo record? Goodbye and "best wishes" (not even a thank you by the way).
