Jeremy, you're absolutely right about its being tabloid sleaze and crap.

Sad for sure, but Welch’s tragic end could not be called entirely unexpected given that — even by the standards of rock bands — the Fleetwood Mac ‘family’ is as turbulent and dysfunctional as they come.

What on earth does rock and roll excess have to do with Welch's suicide last week? Why discuss one in the same breath as the other? One story is a morality tale of sex, drugs, and rock & roll. The other was a very sad end to a purely medical crisis.
Another stupidity is the journalist's conclusion that Welch was left out of the RRHOF
by the band as punishment for suing them. There are plenty of print interviews around of RRHOF committee members (like Robert Hilburn) explaining the decision (which was a
committee decision, not a band decision—the band doesn't get to choose).
