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

May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family.

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 ;-)

Thank you for this! It might be early in Weston's career but that stinging guitar sound is still there. Excellent.

Tributes paid to ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston4:10pm Friday 13th January 2012


HEARTFELT tributes have been paid to ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston who has died aged 64.

Bob, who was a member of the band in the Seventies, was found dead at his home in Brent Cross on January, 3.

Musician and electronics engineer, Steve Fairhead first met Bob in the early Nineties when they both lived in Brighton.

Speaking to the Times Series Mr Fairhead said: “Bob came to live with my family for about nine months in 2007. My wife was a little bit worried because she didn’t know him terribly well, and she thought he might be this arrogant ex-rock star. But he charmed the socks off her and they winded up being firm friends. Bob was an absolute gentleman.

“I can’t get my head round the idea he’s gone – I keep expecting to bump into him or see him at the weekend.

“We shared a daft sense of humour and a sense of the absurd. He was gregarious and he was compassionate. He will definitely be missed – more than missed – my hearts broken.”

Photographer Fin Costello first met Bob when he was photographing Fleetwood Mac in London in the early Seventies.

He said: “He was seen as the wunderkind of the time and much talked about.

“He was one of the great underrated guitarists of his time and great company as well. Lots of Rock and Roll tales. He and I had travelled the same road for many years so the sessions were long and entertaining.”

Both Mr Fairhead and Mr Costello have received many emails mourning the loss of Bob.
