Brand new article: “Stevie Nicks Sees ‘No Reason’ to Continue Fleetwood Mac”

From the article:

When asked if she could envision the group touring again after the death of Christine McVie, her longtime friend and bandmate, the "Edge of Seventeen" singer, 75, told Vulture, "There's no reason to.”

"When Christine died, I felt like you can't replace her. You just can't. Without her, what is it? You know what I mean?" Nicks said.

I can understand how she feels. But have to say: Fleetwood Mac toured without Christine in in 2003, 2009 and 2013. Stevie and the rest of the band was totally okay with touring without Christine then. They didn’t need to “replace” her. Stevie didn’t say “what’s the point?” then. I saw all three of those tours and they were spectacular. Of course, I was thrilled when Christine announced she was rejoining the band in 2014 and loved seeing her with the “original 5” lineup on the 2014 tour. I can understand Stevie sad about losing her friend. But I’m not buying into this “what’s the point” from Stevie now. I feel like she’s just continuing to be difficult, after many years of being difficult and stubborn about new FM music and about everything that went down with firing Lindsey.

I used to be a big fan of Stevie. Not these days.

While I generally loathe her now, she finally made a classy decision. And she's right. There is no reason to continue. Christine is dead. Lindsey was fired. John is done...

JESUS CHRIST, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO SEE, TO SEE THAT IT'S OVER? There's no reason to continue with just Mick and Stevie. And bringing Lindsey back would be ridiculous, after the humiliating manner in which he was fired.

Let it go. It's okay. All good things come to an end. Accept it.

And there’s nothing to revive anyway. Even if all five of them were alive and rearing to go, what would be the point?

I’ll still listen to and purchase Lindsey albums, should he continue to make them. That’s about it…

I totally agree. Her final years are going to be all about her. She's finally used up Fleetwood mac and ready to throw them away.

Seems like it was the plan all along.

Growing up, when Stevie heard other singers singing "me, me, me", she didn't realize they were just warming up...

I agree in part. What she said is what I would expect her to say especially being on her successful solo tour going into early next year. However, she has not been asked by Mick to do anything yet. I fully expect at some point next summer or fall for Mick to make the call and beg her for one short Fleetwood Mac stint. As I said before, it is not my hope that it happens. History just tells me it will happen. Mick always needs money and he has all but welcomed Lindsey back after initially saying Fleetwood Mac was "done." He just needs to work on Stevie which he will do after her tour.

I could easily see this scenario if Mick, John, Stevie, and Lindsey could agree on a purpose (to Stevie's point that there's "no reason" to continue right now) and probably a very limited commitment (a Las Vegas residency or something). A tribute to Christine with special guests, a fundraiser for Lahaina, etc. Any future FM project obviously won't be about new music or Stevie just wanting more bonding time with Lindsey...

Without the eponymous Fleetwood Mac lineup, there’s no reason to continue. Let it end. It’s over.
