"Like Fotini I too had my fingers crossed for Mac returning to the keyboards at the start of any tour in recent history. I even had my hopes up earlier this year when a friend of mine said the Chuck had a problem in his schedule...but sadly it didn't happen."

It would have been something to see.

From Small Faces Facebook page:

It has been a roller coaster of emotions. First I was delighted to announce the arrival of my first grandson and then had to announce the death of my dearest friend and band mate Mac Ian McLagan. Mac had a massive stroke and was airlifted to hospital where he was visited by friends and family before they turned of the ventilator. He passed away peacefully at 2.39pm Austin time. I am absolutely devastated and quite speechless. He shared some of the most wonderful years of my life and I am still shocked. Please share my thoughts for his family and fans as he will always be with us. He has gone to join Steve and Ronnie but way too soon, on a journey to the other half of the moon. All my love, Kenney

Thought I'd post this, as I'd never seen it before. Kind of odd - The Barbarians without Keith (Mac singing his harmony part); Willie Weeks on bass rather than Stanley Clarke or Phil Chen; and Ringo on drums.
Anyone know where or why it was shot? It's obviously a pro shot, in a studio, but live.

That fucking rocks. Thank you.

He adored her and i'm sure if it meant he was back with her, he will be happier than he ever would have been alive in this world.

Oh this is so sad, Mac was a sweetheart of a man. He autographed his book for me and was so friendly and warm. I asked him about his personal life, he said his wife died but he never got over it, never dated again, his heart belongs only to her and always will. So I hope they are reunited now in heaven. RIP Mac. You were a gem among men and a dedicated, talented musician.

I asked him about his personal life, and he told me his wife Kim passed away but his heart will always belong to her and no other, she was the love of his life. But he seemed pleased that I was interested in him and we talked at his table as he signed autographs of his book. Wonderful, talented, sweetheart of a man and his book is good too. The pics are a few year old, taken in NYC.
