Bob Weston Has Died
FORMER Fleetwood Mac guitarist and songwriter Bob Weston has been found dead in bed at home.
Weston, 64, who lived alone, was discovered when police broke into his flat in Brent Cross, north London, after friends raised the alarm. He had been due to work on a new album yesterday with former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor. Weston’s brother Peter, 53, said last night: “He was a lovely, gentle bloke. It’s a shock. He’d everything to live for." He was in Fleetwood Mac from 1972 to 1974. Police are not treating his death as suspicious. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/...-Mac-star-dies

That's terrible. He was a wonderful addition to FM's legacy. Rest in peace, Bob.
You know, they're all reaching that age now, where we'll probably start losing some of them more regularly. |

Two Macsters gone within the past year? I am NOT liking this trend.

Bob was only 64! He had many more years to live. He was a great musician, and I wish his tenure with Fleetwood Mac would have lasted longer than it did. That was a great line-up, except for Dave Walker.

So sorry to hear of Bob Weston's passing--not only a great musician but a really funny guy. I remember his Q&A here on The Penguin, and enjoyed the interjection of the two Bob's on each other's Q&A. (If you missed Weston's, it's here:
http://fleetwoodmac.net/penguin/qa/bobweston_qa1.htm His own website says this: http://www.bobweston.com/ Bob Weston 1947-2012 It is with great pain that I must announce that Bob Weston has died. He was found dead at home in his London flat in the evening of the 3rd January, by police making a forced entry. Local friends had become concerned at the lack of response, having not seen him for a couple of days. Cause of death has been attributed to a gastrointestinal haemorrhage. He was found in his bed/armchair [checking] in front of the TV; it is presumed he was asleep and didn't suffer... I spoke to Bob just a few days before Xmas; we had discussed him spending Xmas with us, but he had some gigs to do in London. Instead we made plans for a visit early in the New Year. He was in fine spirits, and was involved in several new projects. He also seemed to be very fit... My family and I have lost a dear friend; the world has lost an enormously talented musician, with unfinished business... Steve |

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31749_16...on-dies-at-64/ Ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston dies at 64By Lauren Moraski (CBS) Bob Weston, the British guitarist who played with Fleetwood Mac in the '70s, has died. He was 64. Police found Weston's body in his London home on Jan. 3 after friends became concerned about the "the lack of response, having not seen him for a couple of days," explains a message on BobWeston.com. "He was found in his bed with the TV on; it is presumed he was asleep and didn't suffer," according to a post on the website. An autopsy revealed the causes of death as gastric intestinal hemorrhage, cirrhosis of the liver and throat problems, reports the Associated Press. "He was in fine spirits, and was involved in several new projects," his website reveals. "He also seemed to be very fit." Weston joined Fleetwood Mac in 1972 as a replacement for Danny Kirwan. He played on the albums "Penguin" and "Mystery to Me." While on tour in late 1973, drummer Mick Fleetwood found out that Weston was having an affair with his wife, Jenny Boyd. Weston was fired, and the rest of the tour was scrapped. Two years later, Mac staples Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the group. Weston, a Liverpool, England native, released solo material through the years and recorded with various music artists, including Long John Baldry, Murray Head, Bob Welch and Steve Marriott. |

RIP Bob Weston. I loved his work on Penguin and Mystery to Me and thought it would have been great if he could have played on another Mac album. He really hit his stride on Mystery to Me IMO.
