All I remember is this (my life was kind of focussed on other stuff around 1991-92 so I wasn't up to the minute at the time):
1990: Stevie and Christine announce they are leaving the group 1991: Rick leaves too 1992: The 25 Years box set comes out with two newly recorded tracks featuring Mick, John, Chris and Billy. It turns out that Chris's reluctance is to tour rather than to record. 1993: Dave and Bekka are announced as new members. A promotional picture appears featuring the (soon-to-be) Time lineup but without Billy - Chris and Bekka are holding fake beards to their faces. According to Billy in the Penguin Q & A he had left at this time to pursue his solo career (releasing Coming Home in 1993). 1994: The band play at the World Cup concert - I actually saw this on TV, a four song set. The lineup includes Billy but not Chris. I heard later (I think from Billy maybe in the Q & A) that he'd been persuaded back. With Chris's reluctance to tour I can well see why Mick would have wanted a familiar face back rather than to be solely fronted by the two new members. I think we all know the rest.

The World Cup concert was not a "tour."
I'm thinking Chris left the band sometime in 1993, and her return in 1997 was after a four year absence – just a bit longer than Stevie's. She just stuck around long enough to cut some material for Time before departing. |

I’m thinking she tried to leave in late-1994/early-1995, but the label forced her back in. She was part of Lindsey’s “solo” sessions, which were in 1996, so she was gone no more than a year and a half.

Chris featured on the Time album in 1995 - her departure was from the touring lineup.

Where are the sources that indicate that Christine and Dashut left the project early on? I'm relatively new to the Ledge, so my apologies if this has been answered before. |
