Even Mick admits in his book that the band relied heavily on Welch to front them, write most of the songs, co-produce, and act as "de-facto" manager when he went to Hollywood before them. The situation is not too dissimilar to Buckingham in 1987, when he felt absolutely exhausted in his role as guitarist, musical architect, and front man.
As laid back as Mick, John, and Chris are, they need someone who is high energy to spark off of them.
