They walk out when she leaves the stage almost like a fire alarm went off. In 1987 when I was waiting in the line to buy concert tickets for the 1987 tour, I was there very early with the rabid "fans." All I heard was "no one goes to see Christine, she is ugly." This ugliness is a reality that gave Stevie the power she has when she gave her ultimatum. She has the power to fill the arena and Mick and the band took profit over legacy. That is their choice but we are free to write and talk about it. You may disagree but I would never want her on stage at a Chris solo concert unless it was a surprise and no one knew she was coming. Its the same reason Stevie did not take the stage on the last night of Chris's short solo tour in1984. It would have been disrespectful. Even Stevie knew that. It was Chris's night and she was not going to upstage her.
If you call that Stevie bashing for talking about the elephant in the room, I plead guilty!

We’re talking an Albert Hall type all-star tribute show dedicated to the music of Christine McVie. Do you seriously think significant numbers of chiffonheads would pay thousands to fly to London, hundreds on hotel rooms, and hundreds or thousands for tickets just to see Stevie singing on maybe a handful of songs?

However, when it’s an all-star type show and the vast majority of the set is going to be Fleetwood Mac songs, it would be much weirder in that context for Stevie to not be a part of it. Same for Lindsey, which would make for an interesting night.
