The concept was hailed by fans and critics after the Swedish group launched it last month, and soon afterward Jimmy Page revealed that Led Zeppelin had considered the idea but couldn’t reach an agreement.
In a new interview with The Guardian, McVie appeared to suggest that Fleetwood Mac also had discussions. "I don’t think we’re doing it," she said. "It’s a novelty. People would rather see the real people, I’m sure. The question is whether people want a pre-recorded concert with holograms or would prefer a real live experience with the real members singing."

Well before there was talk of the Swedish pop group’s Voyage concert, the rock band was asked to do “that sort of thing”, Page told an audience at the Hay festival.
However, the musician and music producer said that he and his two surviving bandmates, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, couldn’t agree, so the project “didn’t really get moving”.
