RIP... Earlier this week I actually pulled out his French Kiss album & played Sentimental Lady as a 70's throwback for my wife as she was getting ready for work & I decided to leave the album on.It's been years since I listened to it & then the following day he died. It shocked me & my wife.
Anyway...my main memory of him was watching on TV back in the seventies a special on Cal Jam II where he performed Ebony Eyes & Stevie Nicks came out & sang backing vocals

Bob Welch, the former Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Welch was 65 and left a suicide note. A police spokesperson said Welch had been suffering from health-related issues. In addition to his time with Fleetwood Mac, Welch had a successful solo career. His biggest hit, "Sentimental Lady," hit No. 8 on the charts.

From what I read, Bob went through a surgical procedure that would have most likely, eventually left him invalid and as he stated, he watched his mother go through a similar situation with his father and didn't want to be a burden to his wife by going through the same thing. The sad part is, there are many, many easier ways to opt out of the deal that we made coming into this world without having your loved ones be witness to this sort of mess...but maybe it was the quickest and easiest way that he could come up with at the moment however? Bottom line...very sad and the rock world has lost yet another talent. On the bright side, Keith Richards and Steven Tyler are hanging in there like a dirty shirt and will no doubt fight to the bitter end and there aint no drug in this world that's gonna take either one of them out!!!!!  Thanks Kim |

This was sad to here. If not for him leaving Fleetwood Mac they wouldnt have got were they did. I liked some of his solo stuff. In fact I remember slow dancing to Sentimental Lady at junior high dances. Thanks for the memories Bob!

Bummer.
If I get dementia or alzhiemers all my buds are mandated to take me on a hunting trip or a perhaps a deep see fishing excursion and have an "accident" where I don't come back. Thanks guys.
