Hate them for excluding Bob Welch who later committed suicide after leaving,

Welch voluntarily left the band in '73/'74. After a successful solo career, he shot himself in 2012 after back surgery and being told by his doctor he was likely going to be an invalid. There is nothing to suggest that his suicide had anything to do with how he was treated by Fleetwood Mac.

Bob Welch Suicide

Now firing Lindsay Buckingham was inexcusable. To think that Fleetwood Mac can exist in his absence is laughable. Stevie Nicks was certainly a hottie back in the day, but she is a world-class bitch.

I read it was because of his exclusion due to not being included with the band's induction into the R and R hall of fame. That was in the times, but I could be wrong. Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Love his a cappella version of sentimental lady.
