Stevie Nicks agrees with Mick Fleetwood, saying there is no reason for a Fleetwood Mac reunion after Christine McVie’s death. Nicks was asked about Fleetwood Mac touring again in an interview. She explained why the band couldn’t continue after their 2018 and 2019 tour with Neil Finn and Mike Campbell replacing Lindsey Buckingham.

“When Christine died, I felt like you can’t replace her,” Nicks said. “Without her, what is it? You know what I mean? She was like my soul mate, my musical soul mate, and my best friend that I spent more time with than any of my other best friends outside of Fleetwood Mac. Christine was my best friend.”

 

Stevie said if they were to continue, the band’s set would have to change due to Christine writing all of its pop hits. “Christine was the pop star. She wrote all those really super pop hits. None of the rest of us could write those songs. What would happen is we’d have to take the songs out, like we did when she actually retired for 18 years. We couldn’t re-create those songs. So we became a much more hard-rock band,” said Nicks.
