She can glide right through a bullsh*t story. She believes she is so good at playing the role and selling her version of things.....because, well, she is.

I will not be surprised if we learn that Lindsey made some sort of ultimatum, whether it was first or in response to something/someone else. I'm trying to imagine what was going on in rehearsals to where she said "that's it I can't work with him anymore"? He wanted a set schedule for rehearsals, not all night hanging out parties? Did he criticize her performance/singing? Did he object to bringing in more people from her solo band (singers/musicians?) People forget it takes TWO to make a relationship dysfunctional.

I still don't understand why everyone is so sure that it all came from Stevie since it surely takes at least five to fire someone from the band; however I meant a scenario where, for example, Lindsey wants to postpone the tour because he wants some time off to work on his next solo album and tour (like Stevie did), but the band doesn't comply because partial preparations have already been made (which I suppose would lead to contractual -both financial and legal- problems), so Lindsey puts his foot down and give an ultimatum like "give me my free time or I'm out". The band members think he's bluffing so they don't yield and he goes out the door; everyone has to find a last minute substitution(s) for Lindsey on this goddamn tour and the rest is history.
Of course this is just a possible scenario, but it's consistent with the band's power play dynamics. I should write fanfictions.
