Here is Richard's post from his blog:
News: RIP Bridget Maureen Fleetwood (Biddy)
I’m sorry to report that I have just received personal confirmation from Mick Fleetwood, that his Mother, Bridget Maureen Fleetwood, has passed away at the age of 98 1/2. If you want to know the origins to the character of Fleetwood Mac, you need look no further than Mick’s Mum for that answer. From all of the Punters on this blog and myself at the head of that list, we salute the life of one of the most extraordinary women to ever walk the face of this planet. This is not Biddy’s world anymore, but heaven has a new Mum and we still have Fleetwood Mac! Biddy, may you rest in the eternal peace of death, you have earned in life and I shall carry your memory in my back pocket, for the rest of my days.

Here's the original fan post to Richard and his reply earlier today:
smalltown-girl-2014: Richard!!! Just heard that Mick's mum passed away yesterday.... Please send him all my prayers and love!!!
What!? This is the first I have heard of this news and have just reached out to Mick. I am stunned with grief at the moment, as I knew Mick’s Mum (Bridget Fleetwood) quite well. Mick’s Mother is part of the story of my character and I cherish her memories in a special place of my heart. It is with that same heavy heart that I post this, and on behalf of the followers on this blog, wish Mick all our condolences. The world has truly lost a great women and a universal Mum to us all. So, it is with both love and a tear, that I say farewell to another part of my very being and offer Mick as much support and love as my life long friendship can hold. You have it all Mate and I stand by you whenever you need someone to lean on. Much love,

Ps. It is very early in the morning here (about 4:30) and I have not been able to verify this myself yet and have found nothing on the internet. I still hope somehow that this is a mistake and I will be trying to get more news on this as soon as possible.
PPs. I have pictures of Mick’s Mother that I will locate and post in honor of her memory as soon as we can.
