A police spokesman voiced Welch was deteriorating from health concerns, but did not give any further info.
Welch departed the ensemble in 1974 and was replaced by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who propelled the group into international success. Welch was culpable for a few of the group’s early hits “Ebony Eyes,” “Hypnotized,” and “Sentimental Lady”.
In 1976 he formed the rock band Paris before releasing his first solo album ‘French Kiss’ in 1977.
