DANNY KIRWAN

MAY 13, 1950 ~ JUNE 8, 2018

A TRIBUTE FROM

MICK FLEETWOOD AND FLEETWOOD MAC



Today was greeted by the sad news of the passing of Danny Kirwan in London, England. Danny was a huge force in our early years. His love for the Blues led him to being asked to join Fleetwood Mac in 1968, where he made his musical home for many years.



Danny’s true legacy, in my mind, will forever live on in the music he wrote and played so beautifully as a part of the foundation of Fleetwood Mac, that has now endured for over fifty years.

Thank you, Danny Kirwan. You will forever be missed!

~Mick Fleetwood and Fleetwood Mac

Sad, sad news indeed.

Hopefully he is finally at peace.

Yes, very sad - RIP.
English Rose was one of the first blues records I owned. I still play 'One Sunny Day' live now.

from wiki:

In an interview with Mike Vernon in June 1999, Green{*} described Kirwan as "a clever boy who got ideas for his guitar playing by listening to all that old-fashioned roaring twenties big band stuff." He added that in those early days, Kirwan "was so into it that he cried as he played"
