Bob Welch was the only guitarist in the band in 1974. In September 1974, with the signing of a new contract with Fleetwood Mac, Warner Bros. released the album Heroes Are Hard to Find on Reprise.
With a peak position of No. 34 on the Billboard chart, the album became the first release from the group to enter the Top 40 in the country.
Welch’s final tour with Fleetwood Mac would take place after that.
Why did Bob Welch leave Fleetwood Mac?
Welch was dealing with both personal and professional problems at the time: his marriage was in trouble, and he thought the band had used up all of his creative energy.
Later, he revealed that he felt close to Fleetwood, with whom he claimed he was leading the band in 1974, but distant from John and Christine McVie.
In December 1974, Welch left Fleetwood Mac, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks took his place.
Who wrote Fleetwood Mac’s Hypnotized?
