When a group makes that much money it ceases to be a band and becomes a business.

Yeah I guess it is all about money again but what of musicianship..? I remember hearing of similar things with Status Quo and Pink Floyd.
I am a big fan of FM, especially the years with Peter Green. Although I also like the later iteration with LB and SN, I was struck recently by how much they hijacked the FM sound. Listening to the Buckingham Nicks LP the other day, reminded me that this could have been released as an FM album without difficulty. OK, maybe the need for a bit more oomph in the rhythm section.
What chances that FM go back to their roots and deliver an authentic blues album now that they have dumped the narcissistic LB?

They've all got so much money that it seems to me to be unlikely to be about the money. In any case they have hired two guitarists to replace him on the tour, what's that cost them?
I think he has always pissed off the rest of the band because he does come across as a bit of a dick even if he is an accomplished musician. I've got one of his solo albums and it is dire so I doubt he contributed much to the FM song writing.
I read that they kicked him out because he pissed off Stevie Nicks at some awards ceremony. That seems more likely to me.
