Does anyone know or have a copy of the last known pic of Bob Welch? I believe it may have been a pic of him with Mick backstage at a FM show on the SYW tour. But I could be remembering it wrong.

Not to be tacky, but I'm sure that the last pic was taken by the coroner.

Touche, dear! But I’m thinking the last known public photograph.

For how long had his career been in the sh1tter?
Wiki doesn't really say. Other than he released an album in 2011, and died in 2012.

Googling "Bob Welch 2012" it appears this picture among others that seem older. But of course I'm not sure if it's from 2012 and not even the last one.

Yes, this one is from the BOB-Brunning produced FM documentary from the 90s, where Bob Welch and Bob Weston bitch about being in FM.
Also in that same documentary Clifford Davis bitches about Bob Welch.

I think I may be the winner. I went through all his FB pics- (some guy named Fred Ramond posted a ton of pics AFTER Bob died), but here's the last one that BOB actually posted, Jan 12, 2012. Six months before he died. It's a small pic, sorry.
I'm also including the last pic of him and Mick.

You won!!!!! This is the one I was looking for.
In his second Q&A (2003), Bob also said he hung out with Lindsey backstage in at a 2003 Nashville show for SYW.

Bob looked really good in those photos. My heart will always break for him.

I live in Nashville where they lived, and I always wanted to invite him and Wendy out to dinner, but never mustered up the courage to do so. Ragrets.... I've got a few.

I've got one, too...years ago when bob used to call us occasionally("Hey, Lisa, how you doin'? This is Bob Welch!" with his cool twangy voice....) about selling his CDs etc, i remember marty mentioning to me that they had tossed around the idea of us flying out to Nashville to meet up w bob and wendy and eat, and talk FM. that never happened but damn i wish it had. i was so busy w my young children that i never pushed for it... but looking back that would have been one hell of a story-filled night. wish we would have gone. huge regret.

I'll never forget the day I heard that he'd committed suicide. It was so sad. He was such a approachable, likable guy.

Yes, he really was. A funny, good hearted, guy. Very sad, what happened to him. I was floored by that as well.

All I can think of to ask is what the hell he was storing on top of his cupboard/wardrobe/closet/doorway???
