Ex-Fleetwood Mac star found dead

Bob Welch, an early member of rock band Fleetwood Mac who enjoyed a successful solo career with hits such as “Ebony Eyes,” died on Thursday of an apparent suicide at home in Nashville, police said.

“Officers discovered Mr. Welch with a single gunshot wound to the chest,” Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron told Reuters. “There was a suicide note found at the residence. Mr. Welch had health issues. The police are investigating it as a suicide, and there was no evidence of foul play.”

Welch, 66, was found by his wife.

He played guitar and was a vocalist with Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974, before the band found its largest measure of fame on albums such as 1977’s “Rumours” after Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the group.

Welch worked on early Fleetwood Mac albums such as “Future Games” and “Bare Trees.”

The singer and guitarist left Fleetwood Mac in 1974 and formed a hard rock group called Paris. Three years after that, he released his solo album, “French Kiss,” which went platinum and produced the hits “Sentimental Lady” and “Ebony Eyes.”

MAD MEN SPOILER ALERT – and Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Is Peggy off ‘Mad Men’ for good?

‘Mad Men’ star Elisabeth Moss may be off the show for good.

Jared Harris, the British actor who plays Lane Pryce — a partner in the ad agency who killed himself on last Sunday’s stunner episode — let it slip yesterday that the actress who plays Peggy “left.”

In an interview with the digital paper The Daily, Harris said he didn’t get a going-away party from the cast and crew because so many actors were leaving the show.

“Actors are always ending jobs.” he told the paper. “It isn’t a big deal in that sense. . . . Elisabeth [Moss] left the episode before, and she’d been there since the beginning.”

“Oh, is Peggy dead from the show?” the interviewer asked.

A stammering Harris replied: “Um . . . I have no idea what [show creator] Matthew Weiner intends to do and even then I couldn’t tell you.”

Peggy abruptly left the agency for a new job two weeks ago.

Weiner, who used to write for “The Sopranos,” has carried on the ruthless practice of getting rid of major characters.

Losing Peggy would be a big change. The series began with her first day at work.
