FLEETWOOD MAC'S BOB WELCH SUICIDE DEATH



(CNN) -- Bob Welch, a guitarist who played with Fleetwood Mac before launching a solo career, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chest, Nashville, Tennessee, police said Thursday. He was 66.

Welch's wife found his body in their Nashville home about 12:15 p.m., Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said. "All indications are that it was a suicide," Aaron said. A suicide note was found, he said.
Welch played guitar with Fleetwood Mac starting in 1971. He left the group in late 1974, just before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the group. Very sad news indeed... We really loved the Bob Welch/Fleetwood Mac era... We truly hope Bob is free from pain and in a much better place...RIP Bob
