Did Stevie fire him? Did they have a falling out and he quit? Did he retire? Inquiring minds want to know..

He did not quit. I heard he was let go by Waddy. Probably budget reason because Taku wasn’t brought back to her solo band either. Lenny is listed as a musician on 24 Karat Gold Songs From The Vault and that was recorded 2 years after he was let go. He is also a very nice person.

Nobody says he wasn’t, baybee.

Oh my a flirt! Now Jimmy Paxson wasn’t the nicest which is part of why he wasn’t asked to return to Stevie’s band, the other was he toured with The Chicks over Stevie. But he was my favorite solo drummer for Stevie

Jimmy wasn't the nicest? I'm pretty sure he remains friends with Waddy. Similar to how Stevie outcasted Brett for being in Lindsey's band, I'm pretty sure that has since happened to Jimmy as well.

After mysteriously disappearing before the Orlando tour date, is Sharon Celani back on stage yet? Sharon, where are you? Sharon?

She was back in Toronto the other day.

Are they all that old and deaf that they can't hear how they're destroying the song!? It's truly mediocre crap being served by people who have been in the industry for decades.

Also, the low-resolution, pixelated Gypsy footage looks real great. Especially for $200.00 a ticket.

How actual professionals have pulled it off:

The drummer also isn't in the best of shape so perhaps that affects his finesse or energy. The gut is pushing his tee shirt outwards.
