Which is kind of sad, I think they should have let her do whatever she was comfortable with of she expressed a desire to do so. It made no sense to me because john ALSO said he thought her In the Meantime album had some good stuff on there but said it could have been better if he and mick and lindsey could have added to it. So.. why didn't he push for her to be more involved in Say You Will??! 😞

What I’ve heard on The Ledge is that Lindsey said he didn’t want Christine to contribute to SYW (even though he used her older background vocals on two of his songs). I don’t know why Mick, John, and Stevie didn’t push or their management and Reprise or whoever the record company was. Were they afraid Lindsey would leave the band again?

Are there arena/amphitheatre “classic” bands that have one of their vocalists contribute to an album but not tour/play the new stuff live? I’m thinking Foreigner because Mick Jones doesn’t play live with his band but I don’t know if they’ve made new music in the last couple of years.
