I was aware of Fleetwood Mac from their early days... remember their "hits"... but I only became a "fan" when they had a revival in the early 70's after Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the line-up and put out the "Fleetwodd Mac" album... followed by "Rumours" I see Welch was a member (1971–74) Bob Welch – vocals, guitar Christine McVie – keyboard, vocals John McVie – bass Mick Fleetwood – drums (With one or two others coming and going)

That's even sadder! I'm sure his loved ones didn't think he was a burden.
