It appears that Fleetwood Mac may have taken the stage for the very last time.

The band is still reeling from the death of keyboardist and singer Christine McVie this past November, and Mick Fleetwood doesn’t think he’d ever be able to step foot on stage again under the banner of Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood spoke with the LA Times at Sunday’s Grammy Awards and explained, “I think right now, I truly think the line in the sand has been drawn with the loss of Chris.

“I’d say we’re done, but then we’ve all said that before. It’s sort of unthinkable right now.”

Mick, however, insisted he’s not done playing music, and plans on following the footsteps of former bandmates Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham and work on solo projects.

Fleetwood teamed up with Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow to honor McVie at the Grammy Awards, performing the Fleetwood Mac song “Songbird,” which was written and sung by McVie.

Fleetwood admitted he was delighted to be able to make "a lot of fuss" about his late bandmate saying, "I think it's a moment to accolade the wonder of a hugely talented, lovely, unsuspecting lady known as Christine McVie.  There is a lot of fuss, but we are really happy to be making a fuss of her.

"It's double edged - it comes with a celebration and a quiet prayer that contains some sadness of loss. But having it be able to come to life with this lovely lady [Sheryl], and Bonnie, is a beautiful thing for me to see happen.”
