Bob Welch 1945-2012
Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and singer Bob Welch was found dead today in Nashville. It was an apparent suicide based on a note found and from the self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chest.
Bob Welch was with Fleetwood Mac in the early seventies before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the band, and before Mac's triumphant Rumors album. In fact Buckingham and Nicks were his replacements. Throughout 1977 Welch battled Mac on the charts with his album French Kiss featuring the singles "Ebony Eyes," "Hot Love, Cold World," and the ballad, formerly a Mac song, "Sentimental Lady."
Legal troubles with Fleetwood Mac probably led to his being left out of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies when the band was inducted in 1998. In recent years, Welch had experimented with jazz and also released remixes of his earlier work. Rumors indicated Welch had undisclosed health issues before his death.

PARKER POSEY has an amazing new film coming out June 19th titled "The Love Guide". It would be so great if you would watch the trailer and post about it! Your readers would definitely enjoy! Here is a link to the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwSkHKK2EjA
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!!
Do you really think that this comment was appropriate to this post - a post about a beloved performer who had taken his own life?
ReplyDeleteI checked out your website, and I think I will be avoiding "The Love Guide" as well as any other production from Saint Aire Boston in the future.
Please think before you comment, or more accurately SPAM, in the future. There is really only one chance to make a first impression. You made a bad one with me.
It's a real shame. Otherwise I usually like Parker Posey. I would have watched the film, but not now.
