Christine McVie clarifies comments

The implication of this suggests that since the big touring days are over, Mick, Christine, and Mike now have the power, not Stevie. It was one thing during the LBCM days when Fleetwood Mac still had at least one more huge payday tour in it. That’s not the case anymore. If I were those three, I’d give her an ultimatum to make an album or be fired. Have the termination letter and a press release ready ahead of time. Stevie would be publicity humiliated, lose an income stream outside of her solo career, and Mike could threaten to bar her from any Heartbreakers reunion/tribute show.

Food for thought.

Why would that 'publicly humiliate' Stevie? And she hardly needs an income stream after the publishing deal she signed. So they could try that gambit, but it would likely blow up in their faces

The headline “Fleetwood Mac Fires Stevie Nicks” would humiliate Stevie, to be sure.
