I think he would have told Bob too, but that's debatable.

And it was more likely that he wouldn't leave John like that. I know it's Mick, and I could be wrong, but that's my first thought. Even if it wasn't out of friendship, Mick would be interested in at least bringing John along because he was the original Mac, and it gave more legitimacy to the new band. Anyway we will never know the whole story.

John might have been in one of his "I'm done with the band" phases. He had gone to hawaii because his marriage was pretty bad. Bob had told me chris went thru phases of also wanting to quit the band as well....so maybe mick was just trying to somehow stay working..? Bob weston also said the mcvies would fight over who should stay and who should leave so maybe they weren't 100% in. Chris even later said If it hadn't worked out w stevie and lindsey, she was gonna quit the band anyway. But I guess we'll never really know.
