Lindsey was fired. RIP Fleetwood Mac.

[Missy]

I don't think she cared they did an album without her. Stevie seemed relieved to have Christine back in the group and lobbied for it. The Buckingham McVie album was quite forgettable. But kept Christine and Lindsey busy for awhile.

There is so much tension between Stevie and Lindsey nowadays, it led to an increased partnership between Christine and Lindsey onstage which found its way into the studio. Was probably convenient for Stevie.

Things between Stevie and Lindsey have obviously deteriorated very badly. Christine coming back to the group probably increased the distance between them rather than mended fences. But Stevie was probably just glad to have him off her hands.

As well as this trouble, I think that Mick has started having his own issues with Lindsey and is trying to reclaim back the broader legacy of this group, as the original founder and overseer. That's what got the vote kick against him.

John McVie has been through serious illness. Tom Petty's death and loss of a few others has reminded them of their mortality and at this point they don't need all the tension and drama with them anymore. It got to point where they couldn't find a happy, balanced compromise.

I think there are multiple reasons here and it's a shame it came to this. Lindsey is such an awesome talent but he can be difficult and focused on himself.

There's been manipulation all sides. If all the others are so terrible though and useless without Lindsey, just don't go see them? Get Lindsey's next solo album and go to his show. That's where he should take everything. He can do an entire album on this theme portraying himself as victim at all points. Cry me a river. He brought this on himself.

Really more serious problems in world today than handful of divas in twilight of glittering career who can't get along...
