Lindsey Talks About Future FM Performances
I’m not sure if anyone caught this or if this has already been mentioned, but at the Young Hollywood awards show last week, Entertainment Tonight asked Lindsey about a cryptic answer he gave to the question as to whether a FM performance at the Sphere was possible. She then asks him directly if that is something he would “want to take on” and he says “Anything is possible. I’m not going to speculate, but absolutely, I would be open to that”. She then asks him if he and Stevie have talked about that that and he says “We haven’t talked about that specifically but we have talked a lot about a lot of things in a very, very positive way.” All this leads me to believe that an actual performance is very possible, if not likely.
That being said, while I have been really hoping for a FM performance since things started heating up again with Lindsey and Stevie (and of course Mick fanning the flames with his cryptic posts), I’m now having second thoughts. Seeing Barry Manilow, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe and others really struggle to perform on stage, I wonder if Lindsey, Stevie and Mick could pull off a truly great performance. Lindsey’s voice seems strained these days. I mean, both Stevie’s and Lindsey’s voices have changed as have their vocal ranges. Stevie’s adjustments to her songs have, to me, been a little hit or miss, with some coming off better than others. And then you have the question as to their energy levels and whether or not they could really bring a performance to life as they’ve done in the past. So I’m now wondering whether it is better to go out on a high note or just do what you can with what you have and know that your hardcore fans are likely to love whatever they can get.
