Mick Fleetwood says that he's going to try one last time to get Christine McVie to rejoin Fleetwood Mac., according to Ultimate Classic Rock. McVie, who left the band in 1998 has sat out of their past two tours in 2003/2004 and 2009. Fleetwood revealed to The Sun that McVie will be spending time with most of Fleetwood Mac before the kick off of their tour in April, explaining, "I'm seeing Chris here in London before I leave. And even though she loathes flying and she's never been back to the United States since the day she left, she is getting on a plane and flying to Hawaii with me. I'm going to hold her hand all the way, even if I have to handcuff it."
Despite the fact that McVie has shown zero interest in returning to the road, Fleetwood intends to pitch the idea to her one more time: She's going to come and stay for three weeks in Maui. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. John (McVie's) going to come over from Honolulu to see her and then she's going to L.A. to see Stevie (Nicks), who misses her terribly and is really excited to see her. But it'll be her decision. But we'd make her very welcome if she wanted to creep on that stage again."
During the band's last tour, we asked Stevie Nicks how she feels fronting what she's often called a "boys club" without McVie sharing the stage with her: "Being the only girl in Fleetwood Mac? You have to understand, I've been the only girl in Fleetwood Mac now since 1998 and it's 2009. I'm used to it now. I miss Christine every day because she was my best buddy. She was my best friend. And I probably spent more time on the road with Fleetwood Mac than anywhere. I've spent more time with these people than I have with my own family. So the loss of Christine as one of my best girlfriends was horrific for me. But she's been gone a long, long, time now. There's not a day that I don't wish that she'd call up and say 'I'm back!' -- but she's not going to. So we've all kind've accepted that now."
