McVie hasn’t toured with the band since 1998. During the interview, McVie — surrounded by bandmates Lindsey Buckingham, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks — attributed her absence from the road to a fear of flying.

“I haven’t flown for 15 years,” McVie admitted.

The upcoming tour, which will start later this year, will include an Oct. 9 performance at Rockefeller Plaza in New York.
