Fm Band To Attend Funeral
Straight out
Will/Should/Are/Should They, Attend Bob's Funeral Service if and when it happens? I would think it would be polite and respectful to go. Any thoughts? OF the current line up Mick John Christine ALL SHOULD go LB & SN, Wild Cards thoughts, gut feelings ? |

Out of all of them I would say Mick would probably attend, maybe John. Has Christine ever left England since moving back there from LA after the Dance? I doubt Stevie and Lindsey will attend.

I think they all should go if possible he was part of Fleetwood Mac and did leave his mark on the band out of respect they all should go everyone that was in fleetwood mac should attend he was family.

Christine went to NY very briefly when she was promoting her solo album in 2004, but that was apparently under duresss. I can't see her flying out to the US for the funeral of someone, rightly or wrongly, that she had stopped communicating with in the early 90s and had really lost all contact with. I think that John and Bob never really 'made up' after the lawsuit. I can't imagine John attending.

Danny Kirwan played quite some time with Bob Welch. Perhaps someone (Mick?) could persuade him to go????

I give Mick a 50/50 shot of going. He did attend Judy Wong's interment, after all. And the Mac truly has always been his family & life. I wouldn't think he'd hold it against Bob that Bob had sued the band a couple decades back.
As for the rest of the band, I just don't think so. They have routinely snubbed Bob for the past 2 decades (they won't agree to see him even when it was asking for help for his ailing wife, denied his inclusion into the Rock Hall Of Fame, etc). If any of them showed up at his funeral (sans Mick), it would probably just come across as a slap on the face to Wendy Welch.

I see Mick and Stevie, and maybe Burnette, Vito, and Bramlett going if they can.

is there some rule how long after death is the funeral (average length of time i guess)? if it would be next week, i don't see Lindsey canceling a number of his shows to go (i hope he doesn't!) - he has shows lined up for the next 5 days - tonight, tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and then 1 day break, with more shows on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. all East Coast.

I can see the latter three going, since they all live in Nashville(I'm not 100% positive about Billy living there, but I know Rick and Bekka do).

Well, I suppose Mick, John, and why not Stevie. I don't think Lindsey, because he's touring.
Can't see the last members (Vito, Burnette, Bramlett or Mason) going, but could be a good sign from them if they go. And Christine and Danny...I think they will continue with their "anonymity"... Regards. |

Billy & Bob played together locally in Nashville a few times...Bob has photographic evidence on his website. I'd definitely say that the "Nashville Mac" members would most likely attend...but, that's even if there's a public ceremony.
Wendy might just keep it to the immediate family (Bob's sister, niece & nephew, etc)...but, then, that's just wild speculation on my part.

I saw the thread title and assumed the band had the told the press that they planned to attend Welch's funeral. Funny way to word the title. I'd like to think that Stevie, Mick, and John attend the funeral. Maybe Chris, too. I don't see Lindsey doing so.
