I seriously doubt Chris would fly back to the states for this. And I don't see Lindsey going either - esp since he's on tour. I would expect Mick and maybe Stevie. John? eh. Probably not. And I doubt and of the other era members would go. So sad that he's getting the recognition now. His passing really got more press than I imagined. It was all over the radio yesterday morning and I heard Sentimental Lady so many times. |

I won't cast judgement on any of the band members on how they choose to deal with Bob's death. It's entirely an individual choice. I'm sure all them will give respect and support to his family in some manner. At the very least, flowers will likely be sent.
Several members have already spoken about Bob being an important part of Fleetwood Mac's legacy. At this point, any ill will mostly be forgiven.

I agree. I wouldn't use the phrase "should go...". Let's think also about what the family wants. I remember Richard Wright funeral was strictly private and as I learned, no Pink Floyd member assisted. That doesn't mean they were not affected about it.

FM band members are kind of cold hearted? Based on what? Your assumption that they won't be going to the services? Don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself on this one David A?

showed up it could become a circus. And I might be the only one who feels this way. But I find no comfort when friends and family show up at funerals. When my father passed in 2004, he had well over 800 people show up at the wake. It's funny when people are grieving the most, they are the ones who have to put on a show for everyone else. As a Christian maybe I shouldn't feel this way. But I found no comfort at all during the wake and funeral. Or even during the days and days of visits from friends and loved ones. So I think sending a card and expressing your condolences is enough. Unless there's something you can actually do for the family without intruding on their time of grief and sorrow. |

I feel its up to them .if they can make it.I already experienced 4 funerals in the family.My dad was the latest one last February.Some people did show up to pay respects and some did not show.I did not hold anything against the friends that did not show up.
Some of them I did see months after the loss did say I'm sorry about your loss of your love one.I tell them thank you.

As Ulpian said, maybe Chris will never fly out to the US again in her life: over the years she developed a fear of airplanes. It's called "aerophobia" and it's a real illness, so it's better if she stays at home. She's 69 yo now and it's better if she avoid any stress. Anyway I'm sure she sent a condolence telegram to Bob's family.

But, what about all the other non-family who loved them too or were touched by their life? They don't get the chance to grieve or pay respects.

Ok maybe I'm running out of the topic. But thinking about Bob relatives, or any public figure, I guess relatives got stressed because of the media cover when it should be a private thing. You have a point, no doubt. For example thousands of people wanted to pay respect to Princess Diana (something the Queen couldn't understand), but I don't know if the family really wanted that ceremony with live broadcasts, the boys walking behind the coffin, etc. Ok Bob's funeral is far smaller, but who knows what the family wants. Maybe paying respect thru a webpage is just ok for them and will appreciate enough. Who knows.

I too have been wondering if there's going to be a funeral. Wendy posted on Bob's FB that they won't let her have him back until next week and also that she's been real busy. I can't imagine there not being some type of memorial with all the friends he had, but it's also possible that Bob may not have wanted such a thing and Wendy would honor his wishes. I can see Bob being that way; he was unique, intelligent and unconventional... not to mention very talented and gifted. We will see, I guess.

I personally find more peace there in private than I ever have at a funeral home. I've said words there that was between them, myself and God. And while I don't believe the person that's passed away can hear you, it still gives a bit of closure to me at least. If their soul has made it to Heaven, I can't imagine them looking down on this world as it is now. There's just too much pain and sadness. The comfort is in knowing that we have the opportunity to see them again. |
