In 1997, after The Dance tour, Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie 'retired'-- leaving the band and her former life behind to move to Kent, England, where she eventually divorced her second husband, and lived in a bit of isolation.
Eventually, needing a holiday, Chris flew to Maui, where she and her dear friend and ex-husband, John, spent time together at his little house in Lahaina.
This story-- a mixture of a lot of facts and obviously some fiction!-- delves into the couple's history in Fleetwood Mac, chronicling their difficult split and the close relationship that followed. The bond between them truly lasted all of their lives.

In this THIRD version of The Dance from GoldDustLinda77, you will follow along as Stevie and Lindsey finally clear the air in an effort to see, as they both approach 50, if love can conquer all...if they just sit down and talk and "let their secrets free, baby." Welcome back to 1997, that pivotal moment in history when Buckingham Nicks proves second chances are what happens if you "let the walls burn down" and talk it out.Complete
