Last July, Fleetwood Mac founding guitarist Peter Green died just months after Fleetwood staged a massive tribute concert in his honor at London’s Palladium. They initially planned on booking about eight stadium shows with other big artists the following year, but the pandemic made that impossible. “It was a massive, really lovely world tour that was beyond successful in every way,” says Fleetwood. It was their first tour since parting ways with Lindsey Buckingham and bringing in Neil Finn of Crowded House and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to fill the void. There hasn’t been any reason for McVie to plug his bass in since Fleetwood Mac ended their last world tour in November 2019. I’ve never not known John to answer the call and say, ‘Show me the gig and I’ll plug my bass in.'” “He’s so not caught up in the drama of the workings of the band. “He’s always more interested in going sailing until you put it in front of his face,” he says. She just got caught up in whatever she was saying and she also felt she had been misunderstood.”Ĭhristine McVie also said that John McVie was focused largely on sailing the world on his boat, but Fleetwood says that’s never once stopped him from participating in band activities. But I can assure you we are alive and well. I don’t know whether or not we can keep going.’ Anything other than that, she can speak for herself. “I think she got out of bed on the wrong side that day,” he says with a laugh. McVie later walked back the comments, and Fleetwood says they shouldn’t be taken literally. I don’t know if I can get myself back into it.”Ĭhasteness, Soda Pop, and Show Tunes: The Lost Story of the Young Americans and the Choircore Movement The comments appear to contradict Christine McVie’s recent statements to the BBC where she said that bassist John McVie was “a little bit frail” and no longer had “the heart for it.” She also said, “If we do it, it’ll be without John and without Stevie, I think…I’m getting a bit old for it now. That has always been my vision and I’m a flatly confident that we can do that. “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. “I’m very aware that we’ve never played that card,” he tells Rolling Stone on the phone from his Hawaii home. But that hasn’t stopped the drummer from looking ahead and sketching out a possible farewell tour in his mind. With the concert industry shut down for the foreseeable future and his bandmates spread to various spots around the planet, Mick Fleetwood truly doesn’t know what the future holds for Fleetwood Mac.
