Exactly. We aren’t talking about a family squabble or a disagreement among old buddies. This is business. Lindsey said in his statement “Over the last eight months, our many efforts to come to an agreement have unfortunately proved elusive.” Meaning he has been trying since the start to either get back into the band or receive some sort of payout. The band, and their management, knew this and were fully expecting this lawsuit to materialize. So of course no band members were going to converse with him. That’s why John replied by saying he’s not supposed to speak to him. They aren’t kids in a clubhouse deciding Lindsey wasn’t their friend anymore and isn’t allowed to come around. It’s all about the impending legal dispute and all the technicalities on the business end. This is, as Lindsey would say, a “big machine”. FM is responsible for the livelihood of (now) 6 actual band members, a plethora of backing musicians and singers, roadies, security guards, managers, assistants, promoters, sound techs, etc etc. It ain’t about feelings anymore. It’s business. They’re doing what they’re told to do by their management & legal team.
