Former Fleetwood Mac Guitarist, Songwriter Danny Kirwan has Passed Away

DANNY KIRWAN

MAY 13, 1950 ~ JUNE 8, 2018

A TRIBUTE FROM MICK FLEETWOOD AND 

FLEETWOOD MAC

Today was greeted by the sad news of the passing of Danny Kirwan in London, England. Danny was a huge force in our early years. His love for the Blues led him to being asked to join Fleetwood Mac in 1968, where he made his musical home for many years.

Danny’s true legacy, in my mind, will forever live on in the music he wrote and played so beautifully as a part of the foundation of Fleetwood Mac, that has now endured for over fifty years.

Thank you, Danny Kirwan. You will forever be missed!

~Mick Fleetwood and Fleetwood Mac

ALBUMS FEATURING THE WORK OF DANNY KIRWAN:

Then Play On ​1969
Blues Jam at Chess ​1969
Kiln House​ 1970
Future Games​ 1971
Bare Trees​ 1972

Fleetwood Mac was already a popular blues band in 1969 when they released THEN PLAY ON, the group’s stellar third studio album. It was the first with guitarist-songwriter Danny Kirwan and ultimately its last with founding member Peter Green. The album’s powerful mix of blues and rock includes standout tracks like “Rattlesnake Shake,” “Searching For Madge” and “Coming Your Way.”

With KILN HOUSE, Fleetwood Mac began moving toward a more melodic pop sound on songs like “Mission Bell” and “One Together.” At the time, the band included: Jeremy Spencer (guitar, vocals, piano), Kirwan (guitar, vocals), John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums). Christine McVie was at the recording sessions and contributed backing vocals and the album’s cover art, but she did not join the band until shortly after the album was finished.

The band’s shift toward pop and folk styles continued on FUTURE GAMES with songs like “Show Me A Smile” and “Morning Rain.” This marks the first Fleetwood Mac album with Christine McVie as a full band member as well as the Mac debut of Bob Welch on guitar.

The line-up stayed the same for BARE TREES, which boasts a consistently strong collection of songs like McVie’s “Spare Me A Little Of Your Love,” Kirwan’s “Dust” and Welch’s “Sentimental Lady.” Although Kirwan was a dominant figure during the recording, penning half of the songs, this would ultimately be his last appearance on a Fleetwood Mac album.

Lindsey Buckingham Speaks Publicly About Fleetwood Mac Departure

Lindsey for the first time publicly addressing his departure from Fleetwood Mac during a Mike Levin Fundraising event last night (May 11th) in Los Feliz, CA.

“It’s been an interesting time on a lot of levels,” said Buckingham “For me, personally, probably some of you know that for the last three months I have sadly taken leave of my band of 43 years, Fleetwood Mac. This was not something that was really my doing or my choice.

"I think what you would say is that there were factions within the band that had lost their perspective"

(**** Stevie Nicks! someone shouted). Well, it doesn’t really matter. The point is that they’d lost their perspective and what that did was to harm... and this is the only thing I’m really sad about, the rest of it becomes an opportunity, but it harmed the 43-year legacy that we had worked so hard to build. And that legacy was really about rising above difficulties in order to fulfill one’s higher truth and one’s higher destiny".

Well said Lindsey!!  Classy man!
