The Tragic Death of Bob Welch From Fleetwood Mac

[@larrynapier5003]

Bobby was my close friend at the time of his death I spent hours and hours with him he had arthritis it crippled him ! He was good to me and his wife Wendy was a great person it’s crazy she died in her sleep two years later from a broken heart 💔

[@thebluesrockers]

very sad story. I'm glad you got to know him. I've heard nothing but great things about him. He had some great solo tunes as well as what he did for Fleetwood Mac. As I'm sure, you're very much aware of. Thanks for sharing that story with us. Peace..

As a kid in the 70s, I listened to the radio constantly and habitually nagged my parents to buy LPs and 8 tracks .. A few years ago, I came across Bob's French Kiss album that my parents had purchased when it first came out, and not having heard the songs in probably 30 years, I was really struck how good the album is .. I was flooded with emotions hearing Ebony Eyes and Sentimental Lady again after all that time .. those two songs in particular stand out to me ,and I consider them the best of the best from an incredible decade, right up there with other greats like ELO's Telephone Line and Turn To Stone, 10CCs I'm Not In Love, Exile's Kiss You All Over, damn, the list goes on, what a great time for music ... RIP Bob, and thank you

I lived the history. I also survived which is no small task. Peter was exceptional in his understanding of complex matters. He is a generous soul - present tense intentional. No ego. No pretense. Just what the band was capable of. Too bad about what happened in Germany, but something was going to give anyway. Peter the drummer. That's pretty ignorant. Hard to let that one go.

[@danielhochberg7482]

Stevie and Lindsey were never married. They were a live-in couple. Also, Stevie and Mick didn't start having an affair until 1978, two full years after her and Lindsey broke up. A simple google search would show you as much.

[@elyseglickman8326]

I was very fortunate to know Bob and Wendy Welch in the early 1990s when he was touring with Avenue M, a group of talented young musicians from the Phoenix area, and Wendy had taken charge as its road manager. I always admire their resilience, especially Wendy, and it is a shame this video skips over their relationship. From what I knew of them, they healed their demons together and endeavored to have a successful working and professional relationship doing what they both loved.

[@christino9405]

Anyone who thinks Bob Welch wasn't a major contributor to Fleetwood Mac never heard him in the band in the earliest days before Nicks and Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac. I highly encourage anyone to listen to Penguin and Mystery to Me. RIP, Bob Welch. Another of my favorite songs of yours was Hypnotized. ☀🌟☀🌟🔥🔥🔥🔥🌈❣💞💓💖💗~~~~~~~> |Bob Welch, who was a key member of the pop group Fleetwood Mac in the early 1970s before scoring several minor hits as a solo performer, died June 7 at his home in Nashville. He was 65. According to police, he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He left a suicide note. Mr. Welch was a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974. The band was formed in England in the late 1960s by guitarist Peter Green, and its name derived from two members of the group, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. After Mr. Welch replaced Green in 1971, he had a major part in reshaping Fleetwood Mac’s sound to a sweeter, more pop-oriented approach. He wrote the song “Hypnotized,” which appeared on the group’s 1973 album, “Mystery to Me,” and was a key member of the band through five albums, including “Heroes Are Hard to Find” (1974). “He was a huge part of our history, which sometimes gets forgotten,” Mick Fleetwood told Rolling Stone. “Mostly his legacy would be his songwriting abilities that he brought to Fleetwood Mac, which will survive all of us." Mr. Welch left the band in 1974, just before singer Stevie Nicks and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham joined the group. The reconstituted band had its breakthrough albums with “Fleetwood Mac” in 1975 and “Rumours” in 1977, both of which reached No. 1 and sold millions of copies. “A strong argument can be made that without Welch’s contributions, Fleetwood Mac would not have been in the position to make ‘Rumours’ in 1977,” Cleveland Plain Dealer critic Michael Norman wrote in 1998. “Welch pushed the band toward the pop mainstream in albums such as ‘Future Games,’ ‘Bare Trees,’ and ‘Heroes Are Hard to Find.’ ”...| (June 2012, Washington Post.)

[@RobbyByrne]

I'm sorry, but I have speak up. No doubt Welch helped shape the band's sounds, but he went down a different road with Heroes Are Hard to Find and not for the better. The album didn't have that lead guitar sting FM was famous for. I thought Christine saved the record with some of her soft ballads she was famous for. Bob sounded tired and dull. Music is subjective so it's just my opinion, but there is no denying the man who was responsible for shaping the band's new sound was Danny Kirwan. Go back to 1970 with Kiln house and listen to Jewel Eyed Judy and Station Man. Danny led FM out of the blues. I disagree with Mr. Norman and his assertion it was Welch who pushed the band towards POP mainstream in 71-72. Danny wrote and produced nine songs from Future Games and Bare Trees if you include Trinity. Bob wrote and produced four. Danny's impact was much greater than Bob's by a long shot. Perhaps the writer was thinking of Sentimental Lady, but one song doesn't mean he transcended FM. Welch was an excellent writer and Mystery To Me is the album Bob should hang his hat on, along with Chrissy of course. However, Mystery To Me wouldn't have been the same without Bob Weston's guitar work.

[@Siletzia]

Bob Welch was not a member of Fleetwood Mac in its "earliest days," a blues turned blues-rock band, which formed in 1967. Welch joined the band in 1971, replacing Jeremy Spencer and having lost Peter Green earlier, both due to unfortunate reasons. Welch was a major contributor to what's referred to as Fleetwood Mac's "transitional era," a hard turn to pop, before the Rhiannon era with Nicks and Buckingham.

Some people the legend lives on and they become immortal in a way Bob's sweet sweeping guitar rhythms are a constant reminder that we are all unique in some way. He was cool back when cool was just getting started.

[@RobbyByrne]

Bob didn't care for Bare Trees. He thought the music was bleak and attributed it to Danny's angst in his writing. Sounds awfully bitter to me. Child of Mine discusses Danny's father, but it's a kick a$$ tune. Danny's Chant bleak? Bare Trees? Sunny Side of Heaven? Bob must be referring to Dust, but Danny didn't write the song. He arranged the tune and turned out to be one of Danny's finer moments. Perhaps it was because Danny contributed 5 songs, while Bob had only two. Yea, that makes more sense. @@sturs100

It's very difficult for people who work in bands to avoid addiction to tobacco, alcohol and drugs=legal/illegal. Why? Bars. They make you, the artist, push what they serve, on their fans: alcohol. Bars sold and continue to sell so much junk to push on their customers, in addition to alcohol. They became very unhealthy venues to work in. Also, sports arenas and stadiums. How odd as they initially served to host sporting events, that are supposed to be healthy, right? Tobacco smoke was everywhere inside until the Clean Indoor Act, pushed on the public in every venue where you could smoke. Dr. Sigmund Freud was one of the biggest pushers of tobacco, and was so addicted he couldn't quit even after having over thirty cancer surgeries....that failed to protect him. All this garbage was broadcast on TV, radio, in schools, hospitals, you name it. Then you have the street drug crowd waiting to hook you up with the next illegal drug. It's easy to blame the victims.

Alot of times, years of drug addiction will cause weakening of your heart, and cause early death. RIP! Blessings and prayers to the family! La familia!

He didn't die from a heart problem, he died from suicide....

Bob had had spinal surgery, three months before, he took his own life; and his doctor said it wouldn't get any better. Bob was in terrible pain, and didn't want his wife, Wendy, to take care of Bob as an invalid. Bob's father had gone through the same thing, but Bob's mother took care of Bob's father as an invalid. Bob could have afforded help, it seems. But Bob didn't want Wendy to go through life with Bob as an invalid.

I like Bob's work with Fleetwood Mac and his albums as a solo artist, wish he could have kicked the habits. I'm alway hearing that the album Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham did was a flop, but I think it's as good as anything they did with Fleetwood Mac , If you haven't heard the Buckingham Nicks album give it a listen, I love every song on it.

Bob Welch was NOT a founding member of Fleetwood Mac. The band started in 1967... Bob Welch didn't come on board until 1971.. and stayed until the end of 1974.. having recorded 5 albums with the band.

It seems the band that became the one we grew to love was a destiny set up by the departure of Bob Welch. So we can not know what would have been nor if it would or would not be appreciated as much as the band we know.
