she is ego driven, always has been.
So she would have made it.
Maybe in a slightly different genre, not the rock chick she thinks she is.

Getting back to now.
Fleetwood Mac don’t exist anymore, sorry Mick.
But she remains as a huge star….
I don’t live in the USA so I don’t get it really, how can she tour and tour with the same old songs ??

But she does. And to large crowds too.

if you look at the timeline before they joined Fleetwood Mac she was very close to packing it in and resuming her education .She was going into her late twenties and had to have a skilled musical collaborator to put her songs across as her own musical skill would remain very basic to put it kindly. She was in no way someone like Joni Mitchell or later Kate Bush who could have and did record masterpieces with very little help .So no guarantee that she would have made it going forward. She was very lucky. What she did do right was once she started to become famous she crafted an image and personae that fit well with her music .This is one reason that she is still a big concert draw along with having great PR people. I would compare her now to someone like Elizabeth Taylor who had not appeared in a hit film since the 1960s but remained a huge star for decades after. She really does not have to do anything new or creative now to remain famous and therefore almost certainly will not.
