Bob Brunning's Passing
The papers are reporting that Bob Brunning has passed away yesterday, at the age of 68. His first wife Sujatin Elspeth Johnson confirmed his death on October 18, 2011, in an email to me. Mr. Brunning had 2 children with Sujatin Johnson, Simon and Rachel.
He also had a son Daniel, with his second wife Halina. He had six grandchildren. A blogger has prepared a nice tribute to Bob Brunning here: http://www.roybaintonwrites.com/2011...done-gone.html |

We've never had to say that before about a member of Fleetwood Mac.

It's depressing that they're getting older. One day we'll have to say it again.

RIP Bob. While his impact on Fleetwood Mac was minimal, his contribution to British blues over the years was enjoyable.
Thank you so much to Wetcamelfood for getting me into Bob Brunning's music and all those albums that I would never have had the opportunity to hear otherwise. I have spent many a happy time listening to Brunning Sunflower Blues Band or The De Luxe Blues Band. While they never made it to stardom, they were an excellent band that produced some wonderful music. The only video I could find that featured BB on bass (somewhere over in the corner) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaFKZ...feature=colike

You're welcome Chris.
My computer crashed last night before this news broke so I just saw this now. I couldn't help thinking over the last few years that we were lucky to never have needed to encounter this situation with one of our 16. It's amazing when you think of all the other bands out there and what their fans had to go through regarding members they were fans of that had been lost but as has been pointed out here it is inevitable and if nothing else it will help us prepare for those unavoidable future days we hear more news like this. This will be a strange day not knowing the feelings that will overcome me. John |

Yes as terrible as it sounds, and while his death has made me sad, it certainly hasn't affected me like the passing of some of the members will. That sounds callous, but I don't mean it to be so.

Very sad. He has taken part of the band's history with him. I really do wish Mick could do a super Mac album with all the members of the Mac on record: one song per songwriter. That's my dream. I wish it were his.

We might get something exciting in 2017... if we are lucky. Surely they have to release something different, rather than another rehashed greatest hits album?

Their solo careers are where they put their artistic effort now. Fleetwood Mac is just for the money. |
