Bob Welch Dead: Former Fleetwood Mac Member Dies After Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — 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.

R.I.P. Bob.
Thank you very much for your contributions to music. You'll be remembered forever.

I bought "French Kiss" when it was released, and I have a CD copy now...that was the only Bob Welch solo material I owned.

Must have been something serious for him to decide to pull the pin himself.

Way too many of these lately...sigh.

Just saw this on the news. Will never understand why people pull the trigger on themselves.

Now that's quite a shock. I was watching Fleetwood Mac: Rock Family Trees documentary and Bob was interviewed there. And today that news...
