Eimear is the understudy for Dyanne in Million Dollar Quartet in London's West end It's only running until December, so I'm guessing Eimear is going to leave before the upcoming Christmas tour https://milliondollarmusical.com/

According to Behind the name, her first name is pronounced EE-mur.

Mairead hasn’t announced her departure yet. Maybe she’ll be on this tour then she’ll say this will be her last.
Megan did the same. She knew ahead of the CCFI tour that she’d be departing, but waited until the tour was done

Haha! 😄Fair point!
You are right though about the small chance Mairead stay. I really hope so! I guess we just have to wait and see what happens. (I am terrible at waiting and seeing!). 🙃
It seems like lately the thing after maternity leave is either resigning or self-demotion to being the "on call" member.
*Meav -- Maternity Leave: Summer and Fall 2005, Return: Early 2006, Rotation with Hayley: Spring 2007, Departure: Aug 2007. A Christmas Celebration DVD was the last project before her departure. Fill-in often: 2012-2016, Vocal director: 2016--??? New solo album releasing soon.
*Lisa K -- Maternity leave: Spring 2008 tour, Returned: Summer 2008 through the end of 2011, Maternity Leave again: 2012, Resigned to open voice academy at the beginning of 2013.
*Susan -- Finished the spring 2018 tour. Filmed her pregnancy announcement on stage in Nashville before the show. Sat completely out of Ancient Land. Filled in at the very end of the Ancient Land tour when Mairead had a medical emergency. Planned to take Chloe's place for a few shows in 2020 (got one in before the shutdown). Recorded a few songs for Postcards from Ireland. That tour began and they revived the plan where she did a few shows instead of Chloe, Recorded the 2022 christmas EP.
*Emma -- Last performed in May 2024. Not been seen at all since the 20 tour finished. Is it safe to assume Emma's gone for good??
Wonder if Eabha would return in Mairead's place???
Yeah, it’s quite the shame none of them went on further. But I think Lisa K was a different story…granted, I was barely a toddler when she officially left, but from what I’ve gathered, she didn’t necessarily leave because of having a kid, but moreso used that as a way to leave before officially signing off. She’d already been performing with three kids beforehand, including one that I’m pretty sure she had before CW even started. Alex also performed while having a kid, though she did eventually leave because she wanted to stay home with him. Granted, Alex is a part of the LDS Church and a single mother, so there’s cultural and practical differences there. (This is mentioned on her website, by the way.)
It seems a bit odd just how many have gone because of this, though. I’ve mentioned this before, but I wonder if management might be pushing them out because of financial constraints with potentially having to accommodate a child on tour. This, of course, applies to just the more recent years, since Lisa K was able to bring her kids with her on tour.
I’m not sure if Éabha would want to come back…she’s done a lot with her solo career since she left CW, so it’s not too unlikely that she’d have prior commitments during CW’s tour.
Giving how expensive things are nowadays, they might not be able to accommodate a child. That or the ladies can’t find someone to watch their kids while performing. Even if they’re aren’t being pushed out, having kids on the road is a handful and it makes sense why Lisa K left after baby 4

I guess CW could do a live special without PBS, but given how much PBS has been a part of CW since the beginning, they may not want to.

I’ve mentioned before that CW maybe touring less do to costs and the touring load taking a toll on the performers
They have yet to do another live recording. Due to Congress cutting funds to PBS, another special may be too expensive for PBS to air. CW LTD’s record label parent is Universal. It’s been a while since I’ve taken business law, but there’s probably bilateral financial incentives between PBS and Universal. PBS might not have the money to pay Universal for royalties to co produce and air another special.
This is just a theory, so don’t take my word for it

I tried to go on today and got a 403 error.
I’m guessing a hardware or forum host failure

Being that all the World Cup European tourists all flocking to Bucees, it wouldn't surprise me that CW wanted a souvenir for themselves after their first visit
