Mick Fleetwood is starting to think about a Fleetwood Mac farewell tour.
He tells Rolling Stone, "I think the vision for me, and I think it would be hugely appropriate, is that we actually say ‘this is goodbye’ and go out and actually do that... We owe it to the fans.”
And, Mick is open to having Lindsey Buckingham be part of it. "I look at Fleetwood Mac as a huge family. Everyone plays an important role in our history, even someone like [deceased early '70s] guitarist Bob Welch, who was huge and sometimes gets forgotten. Lindsey’s position in Fleetwood Mac will, for obvious reasons, never been forgotten, as it should never be forgotten."
Of course the problem is Stevie Nicks, who gave the band an ultimatum -- either Lindsey gets fired or she quits. Fleetwood says, “I can’t speak for the dynamic with Stevie and him... Fleetwood Mac is such a strange story... Somehow, I would love the elements that are not healed to be healed. I love the fantasy that we could cross that bridge and everyone could leave with creative, holistic energy, and everyone could be healed with grace and dignity.”
Mick is on speaking terms with Lindsey and intends to work with him again. Buckingham was fired in 2018.
I can't imagine a farewell tour without both Lindsey and Stevie, but money talks, and we'll see how fast they put aside their differences.
