Wish we'd get some news...

yup, i'd speculate the same. especially hearing all the stories about how long and uncertain recuperating the voice went for other singers in similar situiations.

my further speculation is - KB can't tell us what they don't know, no matter how much they and us would love to know. all along she's been transmitting what they knew. i liked knowing all along instead of wondering now why he's not back yet. because she mentioned the voice damage, we all know why he's not back - and that he's working on it.

man y'all are demanding!

I wish he'd do something creative just to get back out there. A completely instrumental album would be to die for given his talent.

He's already got a solo album in the can. The one he was going to release and support when FM was going to start their last world tour. But yeah, bring it Lindsey, we are eagerly awaiting.

Glad he's doing well!

The fact that the album has not been released could be a sign that LB is still recovering and that he is holding off releasing it until he is well enough to tour behind it.

Because we love him. For me, his health and family's happiness is all that matters.

BUT, it would also be nice to know how his VOICE is progressing.

I NEED TO KNOW if he can yell at that old goat to kiss his ass.

And besides, it's not like they're gonna tell us anything just because we're a bunch of demanding people.

We all clearly love him and I honestly would be fine if he decides to call it quits. BUT I'd love to know, that's all.

I wouldn't say we are 'demanding', I would say we are 'invested'. We are invested in him and his career, both emotionally and to be honest, financially. All great artists have had patrons whose financial support enabled them to pursue their art. I see us as LB's patrons. We have supported and promoted him and his art for decades. And people don't make that kind of commitment to just anybody; they do it only for those artists they truly believe in and whose art touches them in some way. Which is the emotional element. So we care about him and what happens to him not just as an artist but as a person.

That said, I agree that neither he nor his family owes us anything regarding his personal life. But people are curious about how this will impact his artistic career. Like others have speculated, I also think at this point in time they likely still just don't know how it will turn out. Why say anything until all the data is in? Whatever they say will be picked up and splashed all over the press. Let's face it, Lindsey is competitive, and I just don't see him wanting the whole sh*tshow last couple years of everything with FM to end with him knocked out of the game altogether, unable to say whatever he wants/needs to say for himself via his music.

She can tell us if he can speak or not. I don’t care if he can sing, because he couldn’t sing before either. I don’t expect the heart attack worked a miracle and gave him his singing voice back, because that was lost 10 years ago. RIP.

CAN HE TALK??

When I saw him in Canton last year i thought his voice was the strongest I've heard it in years

[michelej1]

Sometimes it was hard for me to tell how much of his range was gone and how much was just lack of discipline. He honestly is just as happy whisper croaking or screaming as he is carrying a note.

But now I would accept the whisper croaking without complaint. In the past, I have complained bitterly.

Speaking with zero knowledge, so read with heavy skepticism.

Trying to use some logic here.

LB has not released the anticipated album. That should be at a minimum encouraging news if you desire (of course you do) him to tour again. He's saving it to tour behind.

Now that doesn't mean he'll get to that point.

I think the lack of information shows a few things. 1, they just don't have clarity on the outcome and can't report 2) they desire (and deserve) privacy 3) he doesn't want to mislead anyone 4) they don't want to have to routinely answer give updates, share the rollercoaster with us.


Now the recent tweet after months of silence is not accidental. (Unless Kristen was drinking too much that day) You'd have assume, that some milestone in this process.
Now that's obviously good news, but it may not be "great" news. This could mean he's getting very close to where he needs to be, or it could mean he's made his first progress and it'll be slow going.

If we get a notice the album is coming with no good medical news, or no news of playing live, we can surmise he's not going to recover or, if he is the timeline is so far out and uncertain they've likely decided to give up playing live again.

I'm also thinking this means good news but not the ones we were hoping to hear. And yeah, maybe this is the first step of a long road, who knows. I'm more inclined to think he's closer to the beginning than to the end of his total recovery. I mean, if he were mostly recovered he would somehow communicate it, and instead, his wife's still speaking on his behalf.

But if he can't play live again, I don't think he will release that album. What's the point if he can't tour behind it?

I think he will release the album regardless if he can tour behind it. The PR behind the release can be about his recovery and Post Fleetwood Mac.
