A book I read 2 years ago about infighting among famous bands pretty much said just what you wrote, Tusky- that the recording of Say You Will planted the seeds for dissension for John, Mick, Stevie, and Lindsey. The author mentioned a couple of other things that happened before they fired Lindsey, but the gist was Lindsey should have seen it coming and that the big surprise was that he was surprised. Note he didn’t say the firing was justified, just that Lindsey missed some obvious signs they were unhappy, to various degrees.
