Police spokesman Don Aaron said Welch was found dead with a chest wound by his wife at their Nashville home around 12:15 p.m. Thursday.
Welch was a guitarist and vocalist for Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974. He formed the British rock group Paris in 1976, and had hits including "Sentimental Lady" in 1977 and "Ebony Eyes" in 1978.
Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham did backing vocals on "Sentimental Lady."
Aaron said Welch apparently had had health issues recently. He said a suicide note was left.

I find a hot place ---- boomermingle. С ○ Ｍ-------where you meet sexy and rich cougars. I would say dating an older women is great not only because she is your lover but she would also have that motherly instinct with you as well and be able to comfort you like a younger women may not be able to.

I grew up with my mom playing Bare Trees while fluttering around the house & basically have been a Bob Welch fan for life. Suicide really is such an awful way to leave, even if you are ill. I hope his family & friends can come to terms with his dreadful demise. I hope he was able to cross over & can rest in peace.
