As Mick says, the backbone of the band.

It differs for each person, but even the chemo is not as bad as it used to be in the old days and that will be the worst part. So ... cheers.

Absolutely. And the most beloved member, as well. The man is universally adored in the Fleetwood Mac community.

I'm guessing his wonderful sense of humor and calm demeanor will go a long ways towards his return to health. There is a lot of love & good wishes being sent your way, John. Get better soon!

I'msoAfraid95 10-27-2013 03:26 PM

John seems to be like a teddy bear. You just can't help but to like him.

getTusked 10-27-2013 03:54 PM

There is no doubt in my mind that John will beat this!!! He is stubborn and strong! Thoughts are with him for a speedy recovery so he can get back to playing the best bass lines in rock.

You will never break...never break the chain. :thumbsup:

Ulpian 10-27-2013 05:03 PM

Get well soon, John. You were brilliant at all 3 shows I've seen over the last ten years - I need you to keep being brilliant for a few more years to come :)

Sorry Louie, but I can't agree with you on that one. Whilst I certainly wish him the best healthwise, that doesn't change the fact that I despise the man. I actually don't see why the band can't still tour Australia and New Zealand without him.

May I ask why you despise him?

SadAngel86 10-27-2013 07:29 PM

My prayers are with you John as well as with the rest of Fleetwood Mac in that you have a speedy recovery. Wish you all the best! You can beat this!

StreetAngel86 10-27-2013 07:36 PM

warm love and hugs from Oz to John.
i love that he doesn't give a {beep} about the spotlight and just likes (and clearly loves) doing his thing :thumbsup:

jbrownsjr 10-27-2013 07:47 PM

Best Wishes to you John. Full speedy recovery. You're an amazing talent and person!!

applebucked 10-27-2013 07:59 PM

Sending many, many good thoughts to you, John. May you have a full and speedy recovery ahead of you.

iamnotafraid 10-27-2013 08:07 PM

My best goes out to John.
May God heal him.

Easily my favorite bass player.

You're kidding... out of respect, maybe? and oh yeah, he's John McVie..

Best wishes, John. Heard they caught it early, which I hope is true and here's hoping he'll have a speedy recovery ♥

I'm really sick and tired of your constant negativity whilst posting on this board, how dare even propose that they continue when John is sick.

seriously do you ever even question why you follow this band?

:mad:

I'msoAfraid95 10-27-2013 08:58 PM

If Mick continues with the Fleetwood Mac name without John, I will lose a great deal of respect for him. I know that he likes his money, but I don't think that he'll be that greedy and inconsiderate.

bethelblues 10-27-2013 09:02 PM

This will be a big wake-up call to the band. Something like this hits home in a way all the comings and goings of various band members does not.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for John! His bass is vital to the sound of the band.

What is Mick supposed to do?

I guess I can understand that you might despise 70's John for his drinking and treatment of Christine during that period. As for any other reason, I don't know of any... :shrug:

For right now, for 2013 he's not supposed to do anything. Once we get into the future those are other days for other decisions.

They cancelled New Zealand and Australia and should cancel Vegas, IMO. Obviously, there's time to get another bassist for Vegas, but I think they shouldn't.

Then, we'll just see the lay of the land towards the end of 2014 and 2015.

Well, there's the anti-Semitic charge too. I'm aware there's controversy in his past, but it's from decades ago.

If John dies(I don't even wanna type that word :distress:) or recovers but can no longer preform or play bass, Mick can start a new band with a different name or do his solo stuff.

Fleetwood Mac without the "Mac" in the band will not be right.
