Why a second thread on this? One is already going.

Yes, who really cares about something as unimportant as a mere guitar player, eh? Let's just get James Hetfield, Al Di Meola and Aldo Nova in, post haste.

That should cover all bases, at least guitar-wise, right

But isn't the only evidence of that in tell-all books? One by his ex-wife and one by Stevie (I don't know if Stevie recounts violence, but she does recount pressure in being coerced into posing nude on the Buckingham Nicks cover). Were there contemporaneous reports at the time these incidents are alleged to have happened? Were the police involved? I'm not saying this stuff didn't happen, but I don't like to see anyone "indicted" and "tried" via the headless chicken that is social media.

I've read elsewhere that the Fleetwood Mac organization is regarded by many who have worked for it as ruthless and selfish (I don't have any proof of that, either) and so Lindsey's firing or whatever happened could be yet another reflection of that.

I've also read that this tour was all inked up back in January. If LB was being thrown out for past bad behavior, why the firing only last week? I think it probably more had to do with his delaying the band scheduling dates until he had his solo dates set, and him not wanting to be simply a touring oldies act. I'm wouldn't be surprised if the fact that he did an album with Christine recently, and a tour, didn't sit well with others in the band who are all about getting the oldies show on the road.

I would not be surprised if there are more allegations against him that haven't gone public yet. That's only speculation though. I really hope that's not the case, but it's a common pattern these days.

Consider the subject. Would justify a dozen concurrent threads.
