I like that idea!

I was thinking more of her nephew - she did collaborate with him on her solo album. Maybe he's a hard man to please?

After 30 years of being at the top Christine quit after her nephew told her that she was crap! Poor Christine.

Every time I've seen anything she says she quit because of the constant travelling and the need to travel from one hotel room to another.

That plus she's been wanting out of the band since 1975. Had the "Fleetwood Mac" album tanked she would have left then. Keep in mind she quit the business in the early 70's BEFORE she joined Fleetwood Mac. She only joined the band to be closer to John. When "Heroes Are Hard To Find" flopped she decided that she would probably call it quits then. When Stevie and Lindsey joined the success was huge and made it kind of hard to leave. She announced she was officially done in 1990 after the "Behind The Mask" tour, her father had died during the tour and she didn't like that she wasn't there at the time (they did halt the tour so she could go back home, I had tickets for a July show that got moved until November). Stevie also announced that she was done at the end of the tour.
Lindsey had nothing to do with her leaving. Christine has been saying goodbye longer than she was in the band. After "The Dance" (which she says she did for the money) she made up her mind that she was really done.

hey Al...i cant give up my source but i have it on good authority that he was the reason she left...any one who went to the dance concerts wonder why all of a sudden they cancelled the remaining shows? it was bc christine was pissed at his lordship...chris was a professional and once the tour began she had every intention of completing the whole schedule...yes she wasnt fond of the travelling and wanted to quit many times but just like stevie once u start u finish the tour unless illness makes u postpone some dates...lindsey is a gifted musician but as a human being his ego is enormous...its a shame this happened as i think her music was fun and lightened up the angst and sorrow of lindsey and stevie's song writting...this tour coming up they're going to do some of chris's songs and i'm looking forward to seeing a show or two...hugs pat

LOLOLOLOL.. His "Lordship".. ??? ROTFL.. Pat, you're hilarious girlfriend... LOLOL.. And yep.. you're right on with the story.. I've heard that too! I've read several of Christine's BBC interviews, and she won't mention the "real" reason.. but that she was "tired of travelling".. You know of anyone else who committs to during a "full" tour schedule and walks out halfway? I know of people who have become sick and had to cancel shows, as Stevie herself, had to do that with TISL tour.. but Chris wasn't sick..

Hugs,

Arlene

Hey Al,

I've heard from the same "source" Pat had, that it was indeed LB who was the cause of Christine walking out! Yes, it's true that Chris had indeed said many times before she was leaving, but the reason she left in the middle of the Dance, was all due to LB! It's going to take a act of Congress to bring her back up on stage with them, if at all she does, or will.. but I'm not holding my breath! I'd LOVE to see her more than anything, as I SOOOO miss her when they tour.. Even when they toured in 2003, and they were in England, Chris did go to see them, but wouldn't go near the stage.. I SOO wish she would change her mind one day.. but we can only wish..

Hugs,

Arlene

I used to work for a telecom company who did conference calls for record companies...when the dance was being pushed...all five managers got together, and I was the operator on the call who called out to all these different managers...gathered them up and they began to spill the beans on Fleetwood Mac...the truth is ...
Christine put up the money for the Dance, when the tour began to tank and it was going to come down to going into HER royalties from the records, she refused...her manager stated during the conference call that she would not add any more money to the Fleetwood Mac machine and that if the others wanted to do it, they would have to pay for it themselves...At the time Christine wanted to do Oprah, but the other managers talked about doing the late night shows which better fit the band,
that is why only Stevie & Lindsey showed up to do landslide on Letterman...the other managers asked if "Stevie" would talk to Christine and try to convince her to do more, but stevie's manager stated no and she couldn't call or speak to her today, because she was getting a root canal done...all this misinformation about why
Christine left the band really made sense once I heard them all talking. Fleetwood Mac is not a band, they are a machine as stevie has said, if you watch Destiny Rules, you'll see the fight between Stevie, Linsey & Ms Johnston, for not Lindsey not calling the manager to meet up with the remixer...they don't create music anymore

But were the dates on The Dance tour booked and canceled later? My understanding was that it was to a 45 US date tour with the possibilty of going to Europe. But as far as I know the dates were never booked officially. So when the US dates were done, Christine said she was done.
Does anyone have links to where Christine has hinted that Lindsey was the problem? The only place I've heard this is from fans, but none can provide interviews from Christine.

Hey Al..

I looked on the net last night to find all of Christine's interviews, and found several of her BBC interviews, but as she stated, all of her reason's were basically, she was "tired" of travelling. We've heard from someone actually who was in the Stevie camp, that told me and Pat this info. I'm not sure if the actual dates on the Dance tour were booked already or not, but that was my impression that I got, and as this happened, they just kept on touring and Christine walked out.. Not sure if the dates were booked or not.. all we were told was that she just walked out mid-way due to LB.. I must have looked last night for over 2 hours, looking to see if she actually mentioned this in any of her BBC interviews, as there were several, but she didn't volunteer any details, as she kept her professional "status".. or so it seemed.

Hugs,

Arlene
