New LA Times interview with Mick

[UnwindedDreams]

“I don’t look at it like that,” says Fleetwood, the band’s cheerful diplomat. “Stevie was very unhappy. It was not an ultimatum — it was about taking a breath. Two people have walked away from each other, like Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. I understand both people. Lindsey would say, ‘You’re piggy in the middle, Mick.’”

Interesting that he didn't say "We were unhappy" like he did in 2018 and 2019.
Shrewd.
