April 24th 1971 - Fleetwood Mac announce that guitarist Bob Welch will be the replacement for the departed Jeremy Spencer. Welch would leave near the end of 1974 and was replaced by Lindsey Buckingham.
Bob Welch was excluded from Fleetwood Mac’s 1998 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction primarily due to his 1994 lawsuit against band members Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie over royalties, which created severe tension, despite his critical role in "saving" the band from 1971–1975. Welch believed this lawsuit caused the band to pressure the Hall to exclude him.
