Yeah, I'm sure that things that happened 30 years ago are coming NOW to put a strain on his heart.

Of course the fact that Stevie fired him last year has nothing to do with it.

respect to Neil for saying the right thing at the right time and obviously being a decent guy. i'm happy he did that and good for him. and it just makes the stark contrast and puts in perspective the other 4.

i think what Mick said was sincere and ok. he should have said much more, and he should have said it at the point in the show when most of the people weren't already on their way out. but what he did say was ok.

Christine and Stevie - no comment.

John never says anything.

I hope his vocal chords recover, but mostly I'm grateful he's alive and recovering and is there for his family. What a year they've had. Brightest blessings to all.
Now this is much more helpful than the thinking that being fired caused stress and heart trouble. Too many people- Joondalar for one- are using this for political point scoring, which is disgusting and low.

First, I would like to wish Lindsey good health and a full recovery. Emergency heart surgery is quick and scary.

Second, Mick, John, Christine, and Stevie are aware of Lindsey's health situation. If they are all in contact with Lindsey for well wishes and such, that is great and could be kept to them.

if they were that would be great. Sadly, based on their recent behaviors and the sterility of the official band statement, it would seem quite likely they are not.

Fleetwood Mac members may disagree with you.

Billy, Rick or Bekka are more likely to send Lindsey well wishes than any of the current incarnation.

I desperately hope Stevie especially realizes life is too short not to reach out to Lindsey at this time. Even if she doesn't want to work with him again, she should care enough about him to do that. Hopefully dancing around your apartment rejoicing in your own happiness doesn't preclude caring when someone who was once "like a husband" to you almost dies.

The others should reach out to him, too... but she bears a greater responsibility because of the interweaving of their lives for the past 50+ years.

Prayers for Lindsey's recovery.

If they're in contact with him, then why was he fired with a phone call by Azoff?

Should be interesting to see Goat Breath dancing around on stage tomorrow night like nothing has happened. Hope she's happy now. Did she cause this? No Does stress and heartbreak have a HUGE impact on your heart health? YES
