When I saw this news yesterday, I decided then and there that I will never go to another of their concerts. To me, Stevie and Lindsey are the heart of the band.

Fleetwood Mac? Good grief, they must be ancient. Give it up. Go home, put on a shawl and watch Gunsmoke

So you're saying the 4 other band members should bend over for Lindsey Buckingham just so you can buy a ticket the next time they're in town?

Shit, man, I thought all those people were dead. I am no fan of old people on stage, trying to get you to pay money to see their decripit perfomances. When the mmebers of that band were young, it was "don't trust anyone over 30", and now look at the sad shells of their former selves that they've become. Just go home and act your age.

It's sad. Very sad. I mean that.

I've been to 3 of their concerts with the last one being 3 years ago and they had the energy of 30 yr olds.

I've been a fan for decades and this just surprised and disappointed me is all.

Not bracing you boss, just voicing my opinion as well.

I said "to each his own". What does that mean to you? I said "To me...". What does that mean to you?

Don't put words in my mouth.

Yesterday I got a tad melancholy thinking about the Stones, their ages, & still trying to do concerts.

Got it. I'm a 'push back' kind of guy sometimes. I had no intention to piss you off Para.

Lindsey sure can pick those strings. I'd be happy to see him solo.

I haven't seen anything about why Buckingham is out. He has been an important part of the band since the early '70s. I assume it is a personality or money problem - I can't imagine it is artistic.

I wouldn't pay the kind of money they want for a ticket - the band hasn't done anything really good in quite a while. I think they are still good at being Fleetwood Mac, but nostaglia isn't worth a $250 ticket for me.

I paid $150 a pop for tickets in 2015 and felt I got my moneys worth. $250? No way, and that goes for any performer.

I heard this and guess I'll be checking back here to see why Buckingham is out. Maybe there's a real reason or it's a publicity stunt. He might pull a "Spinal Tap" and show up on stage along the way.

There are lots of youtube videos of all the old bands you can watch when they were in their prime.
Free too.

Prophetically, the last song that Fleetwood Mac performed together was “Go Your Own Way,” when the band was honored Jan. 26 as MusiCares Person of the Year. But at that gala, held at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, all seemed well with the band
