RIP Danny Kirwan

That's really sad to hear. I know he had been in poor health and had battled personal demons for quite some time.
In his prime, he was a highly talented guitarist and I thought he and Peter Green were simply magical together.
After Green left, by default, Kirwan was the star of Fleetwood Mac in my mind.
I longed to hear of Kirwan's re-emergence as a solo artist, just as Peter had come out of the shadows in the last decade or so.
I am a great fan of early Fleetwood Mac and will have to make a point of playing some Kirwan-era albums in his honour this weekend.
RIP Danny.

Loved their early albums. That is such sad news

R.I.P. Danny. Just saw this on the news tonight

A side note - Fleetwood Mac was like The Yardbirds in one respect (well, two, since they were both bluesy as well) - they both had many guitarists, and all of them absolutely outstanding. Quite amazing really...
Yes, R.I.P., Danny.
