Dick d**che needs to get a life. He just couldn't wait for an official statement from Mick or the band. Is he the bands publicist now? Or in any way affiliated with the band in an "official" capacity? Seems he is just looking for any tidbit of info so he can get some attention from the FM fans pretty sad really that the big studio man has been reduced to trolling for attention on the internet.

Geez, cynical much?

My heart goes out to Mick. He has done so much for us. I can't imagine a world without Fleetwood Mac.

Condolences Mick.

I'm so sad to hear this news - poor Mick. It seems as though he was very close to his mother, particularly with them both living in Maui. I'm sure he is receiving much support from the FM family, but it must be so difficult. My very best wishes to Mick.

I'd also like to very much agree with the sentiments below.

He's given away thousands of dollars to fans he's never met through his blog, provided us with dozens of unseen pictures, and given us an intimate insiders look at the band we've never experienced before. I never, ever expected his blog to last more than a couple of months, and yet he seems to be determined to keep going despite some truly insulting, crazy people. While I think it's true he's probably doing this blog as a personal catharsis as well as for the fans, I certainly respect the hell out of the man for being as candid and generous as he has.

Wow, this is sad news, especially in light of his recent stomach trouble. Poor guy! I recall reading about his mother's failing health in that men's magazine article a few months back. Prayers go out to him. Mick is a special person and deserves good energy going his way.

I think that's rather harsh.

Sorry to hear the news. Thoughts are with Mick, his kids and the rest of the band- I'm sure they'll all take it hard too.

I am so sorry to hear about her passing. What a great, wonderful, long life she had. My heart goes out to Mick and his family and to all that knew her.

Condolences to Mick and the rest of the family. As time goes by, he will continue to mourn her loss, but he will also feel grateful that he was able to be with her on this plane for so many years. 98 1/2 years is a good long life. RIP Mrs. Fleetwood.

Danigirl · #23 01-23-2015, 07:38 PM

I read she was quite the firecracker, and I love the footage of her backstage in Hawaii; with Chris, Stevie, and Jenny, being lovey dovey, and seeming to "keep up with the youngins." Mick and his family are in my prayers.

SteveMacD · #24 01-23-2015, 07:42 PM

Very sad for the Fleetwood clan.

Wow, pretty harsh. Richard has shared more photos and inside tidbits to the FM community since starting his blog than all the bandmates put together. For that, i am grateful to him. Any attention he is getting is well deserved, he was a good friend to the band and he is being very respectful in what he shares. He has a story to tell and i look forward to hearing whatever he is willing to share.

I dont know you, so i am not sure why you are so bitter toward him...but you sound jealous....and that is pretty sad.

My sympathy goes out to Mick and his children.

Jondalar · #26 01-23-2015, 09:30 PM

Wow she lived a long life.

I really enjoyed hearing Mick talk about his mother and how the two would hang out as well. I thought it was pretty awesome. My heart goes out to him and his family. This surely has not been his week.

RIP Mrs. Bridget Fleetwood.

I find Richard to be a very genuine man who has been incredible to the Fleetwood Mac fanbase. I doubt he did this for attention, but to each their own.

I've always liked Mick, but I have gained a huge amount of respect for him over the years. I read his first book recently and was amazed at all he went through and did to keep Fleetwood Mac going no matter what. I will always be grateful to him for never giving up on Fleetwood Mac.

Thoughts with Mick and all. Richard reports that pre-show Mick had received the news. Much respect to him for playing on...

From dickdash:
lac82: What awful news to wrap up an already tough week for Mick. I was at the show last night, and am almost certain he mentioned his mother during his closing statements, though I can't remember exactly. I'm wondering if he had already received the news. Any idea? In any event, thoughts and prayers to Mick and the rest of the band. On a separate note, I've decided to use my page to post pics from various concerts, and have kicked it off with some shots from last night. Feel free to peek and share.

Yes, Mick knew before the show, but went on anyway and played his heart out.
