Fleetwood Mac had by this time lost two of their singer/guitarists to a religious cult known as the Children of God, the first being Peter Green, and the second being Jeremy Spencer, who walked out on the group while in the middle of a tour not to be seen again for over two years.
Green agreed to rejoin temporarily so the band could finish their tour, but made it clear he was not coming back full time. When Welch joined the band he was the first American to be part of the band. But, he was not long lasting either, leaving in 1975 to form a new group.
Welch was replaced by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, in one of the best decisions made by Fleetwood Mac.
