Bob Welch Dead at 66

Bob Welch, a guitarist with Fleetwood Mac in their early years before becoming a solo artist, has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound yesterday in Nashville, Tennessee. Welch was 66. His wife found his body about 12:15 p.m.

Welsh was with Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974, leaving right before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the group.

Nicks said in a statement that Welch's death was "devastating." "I am so very sorry for his family and for the family of Fleetwood Mac -- so,so sad," Nicks said.

Welch had the hits "Sentimental Lady" and "Ebony Eyes" in the 70's.
