All the more reason I feel sorry for Danny in the greater FM equation. First to lose Peter like they (he) did when they were working so well together, then to take the reins with Jeremy, only to see him bail in the middle of a subsequent tour, then being thrust front and center, only to have Green return with his derailing "terms." With that whirlwind already dogging him, Kirwan was expected to carry Fleetwood Mac on his shoulders -- all at age 20. It's a marvel he did it as well as he did all things considered, to include losing the battle to his own growing substance abuses and insecurities, and in some ways you can hardly fault him for losing his own mind as time went on.
About ten years ago, a very handsome man, now prone to indie rock, asked Billy out-right about it...
"I vaguely recall reading somewhere that even if Lindsey hadn't left in 1987, you were probably going to be asked to at least be a backing guitarist/vocalist on the 1987 tour. Is that true?" (Handsome Steve MacDougall, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
CHECK
Yes, that is what Mick talked about.
