Fomer Fleetwood Mac member found dead
Jun 7^th, 2012 at 4:33pm

(06-07) 13:56 PDT 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.

Welch was a guitarist and vocalist for Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974. He formed the British rock group Paris in 1976, and had hits including "Sentimental Lady" in 1977 and "Ebony Eyes" in 1978.

Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham did backing vocals on "Sentimental Lady."

Aaron said Welch apparently had had health issues recently. He said a suicide note was left

Bob stewarded the band through extremely turbulent waters and was a key contributor to three top notch albums: Future Games, Bare Trees, and Mystery to Me. Which of course were all but forgotten when the Buckingham/Nicks band went intergalactic.

Everyone who doesn't already own them should pick them up for Bob's family. It will be money well spent, I promise you.

RIP

Only a crowd can make you feel so alone.
