The post Stevie Nicks: “There’s No Reason” for Fleetwood Mac Reunion After Christine McVie’s Death appeared first on Consequence.

Stevie Nicks has echoed previous comments from Mick Fleetwood, saying “there’s no reason” for a Fleetwood Mac reunion after the tragic death of her bandmate and friend Christine McVie.

Nicks was asked about the possibility of Fleetwood Mac touring again in an interview with Vulture about her new Barbie doll, and explained why the band couldn’t “go any further with this” after getting together in 2018 and 2019 for a 50th anniversary tour with Neil Finn and Mike Campbell standing in for 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.”

Once again mentioning how Taylor Swift’s “You’re on Your Own, Kid” has helped her grieve McVie, Nicks recalled how she and McVie were “on our own” in Fleetwood Mac. “We protected each other,” she said. “Who am I going to look over to on the right and have them not be there behind that Hammond organ? When she died, I figured we really can’t go any further with this. There’s no reason to.”

As Nicks explained, the band’s set would also have to change drastically. “And her songs, you take out all of those songs,” she said. “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.”
