Mick Fleetwood wants the LB/SN rift to heal

[BigAl84]

What I find sketchy is I get a sense that they approached Mike and Neil with grand illusions. We're a new band, we want to start a new chapter, make new music. When in reality, the only thing thats even remotely worked out in stone is a tour and nothing else.

Had Mick been upfront and said "Hey we need to replace Lindsey for this tour, I can't speak for anything else in the future, will you do it?" I'm not so sure either of them would have taken the deal. Yeah, Mike has said many times he was looking for something to do, but a one-off tour with a weird reconfiguration of Fleetwood Mac? I don't know, I'm not convinced. Mick can express all the dreams he had envisioned, but had that tour been such a success, you would think they would have had another leg for spring of 2020 on the books (which Covid would have cancelled) But that tour ended in November rather quietly. They made up for some of the losses they hit early on in the tour, licked their wounds and called it a day.

At least Rick and Billy did get to record an album and tour.
