Despite Fleetwood’s statement, the band have remained one of the favourites to top the bill at the event next year, though Michael Eavis has stated in recent weeks that the chances of the band headlining were looking unlikely.

“One of the things that I’d like to clear up is that we’re not playing Glastonbury,” Fleetwood told Radio 2. “A lot of folks think that we are, so loud and clear: We love Glastonbury and all the surrounding history of such a lovely festival but we’re not playing it.”

Fleetwood added: “No bad faith for Glastonbury because I just don’t want people thinking it’s us.” He was then asked if this meant the band will never play Worthy Farm to which the drummer replied: “Never say never.”

The band have remained one of the favourites to top the bill at the event next year, though Michael Eavis has stated in recent weeks that the chances of the band headlining were looking unlikely.

All doubt has now been removed now though, with Fleetwood telling Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 this morning (November 7) that the group will not be one of the three headliners.

“One of the things that I’d like to clear up is that we’re not playing Glastonbury,” he said. “A lot of folks think that we are, so loud and clear: We love Glastonbury and all the surrounding history of such a lovely festival but we’re not playing it.”

This second leg will begin in January in St. Paul, Minn., and continue to New York, Atlantic City, Montreal, Chicago, Cleveland and St. Louis. Tickets for the new dates will go on sale Monday, Oct. 13 . A complete list of new dates and cities can be found below.

McVie’s return, after 16 years in retirement, has led to an expanded set list that includes Fleetwood Mac favorites like ‘You Make Loving Fun,’ ‘Little Lies’ and the show-closing ‘Songbird.’ She had been with the group since 1970 before leaving in 1998.

Lindsey Buckingham has described this tour as “a beautiful, profound, poetic new chapter now that this lady is back with us. And it’s a chapter that is going to go on for a while. A chapter that is going to yield much fruit. We are very, very excited.”

And it was like break never happened as Christine McVie and the rest of the most famous iteration of Fleetwood Mac appeared on the Today show on Thursday.

And the English-American group, who have sold more than 100 million albums, thrilled the fans with a performance of hits Little Lies, Gypsy, Go Your Own Way, and The Chain.

And Christine, 71, said a new piece of jewellery was a symbol of her intention to remain with the band for the foreseeable future.

She said: ‘Stevie brought me a bracelet not long ago, it was a chain, it broke, I had someone tie it on. It means the chain is never going to break again.’

And singer Nicks said she could not believe how well the band, who are embarking on a massive tour, have been playing since her return.

Stevie said: ‘She came back and just threw herself into it in such a strong and confident way, it was like a parallel universe that maybe we left.

‘I hear a count-off in songs and its almost like the 16 years she was gone didn’t exist.

‘We didn’t know what to expect when she came back and she came back stronger than all of us, its crazy. Continue reading Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie gives Perfect performance on Today Show | Daily Mail (UK) →
