2018 Danny Kirwan, guitarist for Fleetwood Mac from 1968 to 1972, passed away at the age of 68. Although he had made significant contributions to the band, a violent outburst in August, 1972 led to his dismissal. He would go on to record three solo albums, none of which were commercially successful. A period of personal problems and homelessness followed. Although he was inducted, with the rest of the band, into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1998, he did not attend the ceremony.
