Ex-Fleetwood Mac Guitarist, Bob Weston Dies at 64


British guitarist who played with Fleetwood Mac in the 70's, has died aged 64. Police say Weston's body was found in his north London home on Tuesday after neighbors raised the alarm.

Police found Weston's body in his London home on January 3, after friends became concerned about the "the lack of response, having not seen him for a couple of days", explains a message on BobWeston.com.

"He was found in his bed with the TV on; it is presumed he was asleep and didn't suffer," according to a post on the website.

Police said that his death was not being treated as suspicious. An autopsy revealed the causes of death as gastric intestinal hemorrhage, cirrhosis of the liver and throat problems.

Weston joined Fleetwood Mac in 1972 as replacement for Danny Kirwan, and played on the band's albums "Penguin" and "Mystery to Me." But during an American tour the next year, Mick Fleetwood discovered Weston was having an affair with his wife, Jenny Boyd. Weston was fired.

He released several solo albums and played with musicians including Long John Baldry, Murray Head, Sandy Denny and Steve Marriott.
