John McVie diagnosed with cancer
 
From Billboard.com:

Quote:
Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie has been diagnosed with cancer, says a statement on the band's official Facebook page. The band have cancelled their Australian and New Zealand tour so that McVie can seek treatment for the illness.

"Fleetwood Mac, who has just completed the European leg of their phenomenally successful worldwide tour, has announced the cancellation of their upcoming 14 date tour of Australia and New Zealand," read the Facebook statement, posted on October 27. "John McVie, one of the co-founding and original members of Fleetwood Mac is now scheduled to be in treatment for cancer during that period of time."

"We are sorry to not be able to play these Australian and New Zealand dates," the post continued. "We hope our Australian and New Zealand fans as well as Fleetwood Mac fans everywhere will join us in wishing John and his family all the best."
Sad times.

Man, the bad news just doesn't stop coming, does it? What was it Hamlet said: "When sorrows come they come not as single spies, but in battalions!"
Truer words.

Let's hope John can beat this. Love to him and his family and to the band.

Top 10 Fleetwood Mac John McVie Songs

"Tusk" has one of my all time favorite Bass lines.

I hope all will be well with him.

Cancer isn't a death sentence any more. I think he'll get through it fine. He has always been one of my favorite bass players in popular music. He has an incredible tone and always played so tastefully and precise. I love the bass line from Chain, its so heavy.

"Rumours" is one of my most favorite albums of all time. Every song takes me back to a different place in my life.
