I couldn't give a f*ck about numbers. It's about music that I personally enjoy.
I like what I like too. That is why I stick by Stevie and her work on spite of everything. BTW Stevie's 24KG tour sure eclipsed the Lindsey and Christine tour. Sold out arenas all over!!

In spite of everything? Boy, that sure sounds like a pass for crappy workmanship!

See? Wtf? A numbers pusher at their finest! Congrats. You have MASS BLIND TASTE. I'm certain your mother is proud.

I was (made my way to) front row for BuckVie. It was a true highlight of my lifetime of FM adulation. If I'd been the only one there, I would have felt sorry for them, but still couldn't have been any happier.

Btw, I think $tevie just farted. You'd better go try and find it on record!

Lindsey's anger about numbers is what got him kicked out of the band. Anger is a very ugly thing.

Mirrors can be as well. Use extreme caution when you're near one.

hahaha, that's a new one. i thought it was because he didn't wanna tour for a year?

of course, numbers was what made it possible to get him kicked out - the numbers that stevie was finally apparently certain enough she could use to convince Mick while frolicking together through Italy. because she could point to 2017 touring numbers showing she is larger name solo than BuckVie together.

Stevie stole the FM name that would have been rightfully attached to that album — THEN we would see who sold better than whom.

And this is why SHE should have bowed out if it was only about money — but instead it was about vengeance. Watch out for that Avenging Conscience, Stevie!!! “Like a heartbeat drives you mad”

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

Funny how her own lyrics turned against her. "Like a heartbeat drives you mad" and "the sound of my voice will haunt you". Yeah, Stevie, Lindsey is still crying for you...

She's such a pitiful and lonely person.

That's why they call her $tevie. BuckVie did quite well for a first venture. I was shocked the album climbed the charts that it did.

I'll never forget that summer of 2017. What a treat to see that show! I couldn't believe I was seeing Christine McVie in 2017, let alone a small venue.

When you think about it, it's really ironic that it was new Fleetwood Mac music that broke up the band.

Yeah we were told of all of the other issues and narratives that the band wanted to spew, it was really the fact that Buckingham McVie saw the light of day that broke up the band. Failing to yeild to Nicks was the final grenade of political band napalm. They called her bluff in the end, as predicted she went ape-sh*t over the whole scenario. Aso, Christine and Mick yielded to the cash of a new tour, also a highly predictable move.

I often wonder what Christine is doing these days, I wonder if she feels it was worth it all. Lindsey was probably the only working musical ally she had in the band. Mick is a social friend, Stevie is a tour buddy (but Stevie will tell you differently, of course).

Of the 3 songwriters in the Rumours 5, I would happily wage Lindsey is the only one we will ever hear anything new from

My best friend called it. He's not a FM enthusiast, but he'll watch videos and such with me. When he saw the BuckVie video he stated, "Oh my Lord, they are going to pay for this!"

And I said, "No, she's not that petty."

I WAS WRONG!
