That IS fantastic news! Yay! I can't wait...I wonder what it will be like??? Who will be included? So excited...thanks for the update!

If the 9 month timeline is correct, that would definitely lead me to believe there will NOT be a new album, but I've been wrong before so who knows. I'm excited as well about this news.

IF that is right I'm holding my breath for the next new LB-album too. How is he going to do a new album and tour in nine months?
That is IF he's part of that Macline-up 2009.....

Who's participating?

I hope Lindsey gets his ass in gear with this solo album then! It's looking less and less likely as time goes by that it'll happen if he's involved with the Mac this time around. I really don't want another solo album derailed by a Mac endevour unless he's going to be involved in new music with them. Maybe they'll just put Mick and John on his newest album and release it as a Fleetwood Mac one... Well, I can dream anyway

Gerald, one thing fans like oyu and I have learned over the years is to expect the unexpected when it comes to these guys. I mean, I could see anyting happening at this point. Who's to say theyre not in the studio right now working on a new Fleetwood Mac album. I dont think thats happening, but would it shock me totally if that was heppening? no.

I was wondering this myself. Also, I am about to say something that will cause major panic and screaming I am sure, but a certain thought occurred to me the other day concerning who will be participating in the group. There are a couple of ideas.

1. The earth moves and tilts off its axis and Christine returns.
2. Sheryl Crow tours with FM (but hopefully not in the band)
3. And this is the idea that might send people over the edge.... keep in mind my thoughts go in places it shouldn't. With that said, since Stevie said she won't tour with FM since there is so much "testosterone", another woman has to be brought in to offset that. MMMM, who has Stevie been hanging around lately and is a piano player (who is the missing link by the way). Ok, time for me to duck. Vanessa Carlton

I really hope not, unless she just plays and doesn't sing. Okay, I am running now... very fast.....for cover.

This would be a way to attract new fans and a younger generation. I am sorry, but I just don't see Peter Green or Jeremy Spencer touring with these guys, but I could be wrong and will gladly eat my words and try to recover from objects being hurled at my head.

Ducking again... and running... fast... very fast...

Personally, I really do hope Christine returns. I think it would make for some awesome shows.

Which, let's face it, is how every album he's done with the Mac from Tango onwards has come around.

I don't mind a piano player coming and singing with the band, but if it's a "star" that means that FM will have to cover that person's songs as part of their own set and I just can't stand that. I don't have the patience and the way it would take the momentum out of the sequencing of FM songs is just an intolerable thought.

If someone wants to open for them, do her own stuff and then stick around and sing on their songs (only), that's fine. I really like Sarah Mclachlan myself.

I'm more concerned about what's going to happen to Lindsey's solo project if he's involved than what the exact lineup is going to be. My ideal situation is that BOTH happen. Lindsey puts out HIS album, the FM tour goes out as Mick is claiming they will and they incorporate a few of those solo songs into their set along with whatever else they're going to play, and by few I mean maximum three or four. I don't think that would be an issue so long as the setlist is balanced, Mick and John playing behind whatever Lindsey solo songs they play would be hot (especially if it's any of the current album-less songs we know, "Deep Dense" anyone?) and it still leaves PLENTY of room for it to be a Fleetwood Mac show as well. The only thing I can see being a concern is if Stevie does tour with them again, do they need to then give her a few more of her solo songs, and if so, does that start take away from the FM feel of things, but theoretically, I think something like this could play out fairly well. And even if Lindsey's songs don't get play live, or it's limited to just one a night a la "Stand Back" or "Go Insane", there's no reason why he can't at least put out his solo album and tour with Fleetwood Mac, it'll probably get his album more notice than it would without touring at all.

Yes, it would get him attention and a few more thousand in sales, but the fact is the guy is not going to do a solo album. Kiss 2008 goodbye. Even if nothing happens with the Mac in 9 months, Lindsey will have spent all that time waiting to SEE that nothing will happen and . . .Cast away that dream of a solo album. Just be glad we're getting Live at Bass Hall.

You say this like you are certain it's true. Do you have some information that we don't? Why couldn't he still release a solo album even if he waited around for FM for nothing? He doesn't have a stamped on expiration date. Besides. If it's the best time in his life and he's feeling changed, it's quite possible that he could continue with the productivity. And it would only be 3 years between albums as opposed to.. eh.. 14. That would be closer to his new pace anyway, seeing as most of the UTS songs were done "on the road with FM in 2003". 06 to 09 would be the same 3 year time frame. I'd be almost willing to bet blood that he's got some sort of start on finishing a new album, so it's not like he'd have to do the entire process after a tour.

Anyway... I'll just say again to let the record show... I prefer Lindsey solo over Fleetwood Mac anything these days. Particularly if they're going to play the same crap again. I'll go just because it's always exciting to be in the same building with your favorite musicians.. but I really wish Lindsey would stick to his guns and release his solo stuff. He's on fire.. and will be on fire.. no matter with whom he hits the stage, but it would be nice to have another album of new (or mostly new) material.
