NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Nashville police say Bob Welch, a former member of Fleetwood Mac who also had a solo career, has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 65.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said Welch was found dead by his wife with a chest wound at their Nashville home around 12:15 p.m. Thursday.

Bummer for every Sentimental Gentleman.

Read an article that pointed out he had unaccountably been left out of Fleetwood Mac’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, even though other former members had been included. Sad and bewildering.

Enjoyed his tunes, particularly “Precious Love.” RIP, Bob.

Brings back some memories don't it?

BTW, love the name Jenny ;)

“Hypnotized” is probably my favorite Mac song...never was really into them during the Buckingham/Nicks era.

This sucks in so many ways.

This sucks in so many ways.

I agree, it's another piece of the past slipping away.

my reply on another thread:

i saw his era Mac in the early 70s...how he could handle Danny Kirwan is enough cause to get inducted by itself

i live here around so many of that generation rockers and of course kuntry music folks

i ate lunch at Noshville Green Hills yesterday 20 feet from Steve Winwood and his kids...nearly grown now

so accessible and carrying on with the staff there...i left him alone but did want to tell him how much his music framed my early years in the late 60s and early 70s

i go to church with Jason Aldean out where I live now...

talked to Chris Hillman at a wine store a few months ago

saw JD Souther at dinner here in Franklin down the bar from me at Red Pony..last month

Sarah Evans at same joint recently...gorgeous...in a thin phase

Gretchen Wilson and Charlie Daniels and Clint Black wash at my car washes that I see repeatedly

I watched Kid Rock’s new Ferrari 599 unloaded in front of his West End digs a few weeks ago

and so it goes here...it’s pretty constant

my point being Nashville and environs are very cool for music celebs regardless the genre or generation and except for tourists on Lower Broad folks leave them alone though it took restraint to spare Mr Fantasy I admit

so it’s sad that for some it’s not so good and in the end they take their lives....Bob Welch..who was so great in the 70s...Stuart Adamson the lead singer for Big Country...another causualty....Townes Van Zandt...suicide by drink...

the pain they must have to have experienced the peaks an unequipped to handle the lows...so sad

btw Wenner is a pederast cakeboy...what can we expect...That Metal Show headbangers are right...TRRHOF sux

Awesome post. Sad he couldn’t hack the lows, as you said. Boston’s singer also did himself in. All the money in the world can’t make you happy.
