A band source said: "Despite the enormous offer, the decision did not come down to money. They always said they would do the one-off show and then see how they felt."

That's all ?Abba were offered 2 Billion for a reunion tour a couple of years back but then again all 4 members are still alive .Now if Fleetwood Mac had disbanded after Tusk never to appear again instead of numerous and embarassing personnel changes(Time Band anyone?) I wonder what their rate might have been?

That ABBA "offer" was a PR stunt, by the way. Not real. If its at all true that Plant, Page, and Jones turned down approx. £100M each, they are insane.

As for the FM reunion scenario you hypothesized, it wouldn't have been too far off from The Dance, since it was, after all, modeled after/took place because of the massive success of Eagles/Hell Freezes Over.
