Christine McVie to tour with Fleetwood Mac
(CNN) -- Christine McVie hasn't ventured out on tour with Fleetwood Mac in 15 years, but she's ready to get back on the road.
Starting September 30, all five members of Fleetwood Mac -- McVie, her ex-husband John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood -- are launching a tour called "On With The Show."
The trek will begin in Minneapolis and will then stretch across North America with 34 shows in 33 cities.
A rep for the legendary band confirmed in January that McVie was rejoining the group after her departure in 1998, and hinted that a tour was in the works.
Over the years, McVie's had a number of reasons for her exit, including the fact that she missed her native England. But on the "Today" show Thursday, she also admitted that it was a persistent fear that got in the way.
"I had a fear of flying," she said. "I haven't flown for 15 years."
A keyboardist and singer, McVie joined Fleetwood Mac after original guitarist Peter Green left in 1970; she was married to bassist John McVie at the time.
By 1975, the McVies and drummer Fleetwood added two more members to the group: Nicks and Buckingham. The chemistry and talent among the five gave us albums like "Rumours" and "Mirage," and established Fleetwood Mac as one of the most successful bands in pop music -- even as the band members themselves weathered personal storms.
After Christine McVie left in the '90s, the group soldiered on with touring and new music as a foursome. Yet when Fleetwood Mac went to London last fall for a performance, they got Christine McVie to join them on stage for a rendition of "Don't Stop."
For her, it helped spark a pivotal moment that would inspire her to return to Fleetwood Mac.
"Walking out in London was sensational," she said on "Today," adding that she's rejoined Fleetwood Mac with a "definite capital yes."
Tickets to Fleetwood Mac's upcoming tour go on sale to the general public on April 7.

I’ll be honest; I forgot about Danny Kirwan & Bob Welch but forgetting things is not that unusual for me lately. After watching the video you posted I read up a little on Bob Welch, he didn’t appear to be happy with Fleetwood Mac from the beginning.
I wish them well on this tour. With ages ranging from mid 60s to 70, I hope they still have “the chops” (and can hold it together long enough) to make it a success. I also hope Fleetwood Mac officially retires after this tour and can leave everyone with the memory “what once was” instead of “they should have quit when they were ahead.”
I wish a lot of them had. I saw Joe Cocker about 10 years ago and he was on top of his game, the best he has ever been. I watched some recent videos of him and it was sad. By his continence, it looked like he knew he knew it.

LOL
Sorta skips Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, and the only time I listened to their albums and went to their shows -- 1970 through 1975.
