Bob Welch R.I.P.

[fender23]

Absolutely a toast to Bob Welch. French Kiss is one of my all-time favorites. Great vocals, great player. So sad.:sigh:

 

[BostonDave]

Sad news indeed.

 

[sully1801]

Hope you find peace in the afterlife

Very sad. Love the songs Sentimental Lady and Ebony Eyes. Will give the album French Kiss a spin.

 

[Oerets]

Very sad news to hear indeed. Think I'll spin French Kiss a spin too!

Just picked up a another very good copy earlier today as a matter of fact.....

Very sad news. A suicide is always particularly poignant.

R.I.P., Bob Welch.

Bummer indeed. Interesting cat. Been listening to him most of my life and he was a big influence on my playing. His web site has always been interesting too, hope it stays up. Judy Wong, Bob Weston and Bob Welch may you all rest in peace. And Mr. Welch, if you can now solve all of the mysteries you wrote about, send me a sign? Many thanks.

R.I.P..to a talented cat.

He was involved in some real masterpieces. Bare Trees is just a beautiful album... It's hard not to be sentimental when your rock hero's, who aren't really all that much older than you start passing away.

RIP Bob. May you find the acceptance and success in the next life that eluded you in this one.

And that blog is a nice synopsis of FM history.

Truly a tragic loss. RIP Bob

 

[michaelhigh]

He had a history of health problems. Here's hoping his suicide wasn't entirely emotional, physical pain and suffering are legitimate reasons for self-euthanasia sometimes IMO. Time will tell, and the news of why it happened will come out. There was a suicide note, hopefully its contents will eventually be revealed with a reason for this tragic suicide. I'm deeply grieved.

Yep... French Kiss was a HS fave of mine. Sorry loss.

 

[zebra03]

That is really sad . I felt bad and then I read the article and that made it worse . :tears:

 

[spideyjack]

i love all the fleetwood mac guitarists but he was my favorite, I will never forget the first time I heard Hypnotized on the radio waaayyy back in 1973. RIP Bob Wech!

 

[anytune]

Very sad, indeed. Sleep well, Mr. Welch. You kept us "Hypnotized" by the "Sentimental Lady" with the "Ebony Eyes."

 

[Mystic]

We loved you work, Bob Welch. Sadness here but maybe relief for you. Rest in peace.

 

[ScramMan2]

Saw this on NBC news last night. RIP Bob.

I've seen Fleetwod Mac numerous times, I think the BW era was the best. Also like his solo work.

French Kiss and Three Hearts will be playing today.
