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.

There goes the dream.

Thank you for making the Myth: "Caught In The Rain"

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

How sad! My condolences to Bob's family & friends. He was an important link in Fleetwood Mac's chain, as was Mr. Brunning.

VERY, VERY sad news.

I really enjoyed his playing with Fleetwood Mac and Murray Head, and his 1998 solo album. I wish we got to hear more from him. He seemed like a fairly down to Earth guy.

I would have loved to have heard him work with Mick Taylor. That's the type of collaboration I live for.

I'm so sad to hear this, another loss so shortly after Brunning, and another talented yet underrated FM member.

What is happening????

Not to make light of this, but if I was Bob Welch I'd be not liking the trend either.

Wow, I know we've been saying in the Brunning thread that this will unfortunately happen again but I didn't think it would be this soon after that.

I just talked to Bob about 2-3 months ago...We kept in regular touch...There was no
"inkling", last time we talked that there was anything wrong...But ....at our age.......

Bob WAS a wonderful guy, funny, and a very good guitar player....Like I was with John Carter's death.........I was not prepared for Bob to go in his 60's. Love to you Bob!!! !....On the "astral" plane ;-)

Bob Welch
