Who said (the destruction of) art doesn’t imitate life? It doesn’t surprise me one bit that HBO’s updating the tale with our own modern brand of consumer culture. However, I will admit it sounds risky— mainly because it runs the risk of “dating” the film in a way the book has managed to avoid.

Psychosis, sex cults, suicide and the curse of Fleetwood Mac guitarists. By. Tom Leonard. Published. BST, 1. 1 June 2. At just 2. 2, he is an alcoholic who goes for days without food, existing only on beer. Increasingly mentally fragile, he suddenly loses his temper over the simple process of tuning a guitar.

Banging the wall with his fists, he hurls his expensive Gibson Les Paul instrument at a mirror, showering broken glass over his bandmates. Tragic end: Bob Welch, the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist, who was found dead last week after finding out he would ever recover the use of his legs. He then stomps off into the auditorium, pausing only to smash his head against a wall until blood pours from his face. Refusing to come on stage, he spends the show heckling the band from the audience as they struggle to play without him. Perhaps it’s not surprising to learn that after he was swiftly sacked, Kirwan developed mental health problems as the effect of drink and drug abuse caught up with him. He even ended up living homeless on the streets of London. But if Danny Kirwan’s story is a salutary warning of the excesses of rock and roll, he was certainly not the only member of Fleetwood Mac to suffer bizarre breakdowns or personal tragedy.

Now, yet another former guitarist with the group has succumbed to what many people regard as something of a hoodoo. Last week, Bob Welch, 6.

It was a heartbreaking end for the soft- spoken Californian who years ago fell out with his old bandmates after he sued them over the rights to royalties — and was then excluded from Fleetwood Mac’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. The band’s singer Stevie Nicks said his death was .

She was, she added: . Welch was the second of them to die this year. Bob Weston died in London in January from a haemorrhage aged  just 6. He was found in bed with the TV on at his flat in Brent Cross, North London.

After taking large amounts of the hallucinogenic drug LSD, he grew a beard, began to wear robes and a crucifix and told the band’s manager he was Jesus.

He became obsessed by the supposed immorality of them becoming rich and wanted to give the band’s earnings away. The others could not believe he was serious. Touring Europe in March 1.

Green binged on dangerously impure LSD at a party thrown by a bunch of rich Communists in a Munich commune. Friends said he was never the same again, transforming from mildly eccentric to fully- fledged basket case. Green, who said he’d had a vision at the party in which he saw an angel holding a starving child, left the band two months later, complaining drummer Mick Fleetwood had refused his request that they donate all their royalties to charity.

The man who had been hailed as one of the finest blues guitarists of his generation fell into destitution, having to find work as a hospital porter and even a gravedigger. Much of his financial troubles were self- inflicted. In 1. 97. 7, police surrounded his house and he was arrested for threatening the band’s accountant, David Simmons, with a shotgun. Bizarrely, Green said he was furious because Simmons was still sending him royalty cheques. Mick Fleetwood used to visit Green regularly, but eventually gave up. But he will always be remembered as one of the great Sixties musical talents cut off in his prime by drugs.

Slide guitarist Jeremy Spencer, one of the Fleetwood Mac’s original members, was notoriously wild on stage, imitating Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly. Offstage, he couldn’t have been more different, a closet religious fanatic who sneaked away from the rest of the band on tour to read from one of the small Bibles he hid in the linings of his jackets. Former band members say Spencer, too, had a bad trip — in his case on the mind- altering drug mescaline — during a 1. U. S. After an earthquake hit Los Angeles, he had a premonition that something bad would happen there. It did — for Fleetwood Mac. Spencer told Mick Fleetwood he was popping out to Hollywood Boulevard to buy a magazine.

He never came back. Days later, his frantic fellow band members discovered he had joined the Children of God, a sinister cult which used sex  to . Spencer refused to rejoin the band. Still going strong: Lindsay Buckingham, far right, has not been hit yet by what he dubbed 'the curse of Fleetwood Mac', with the band still reuniting for occasional projects.

He later explained he had been approached in the street by a Children of God member named Apollos, got chatting about religion and was invited to visit a nearby . He still works for the organisation, now called The Family International, writing and illustrating stories.

Then there was Kirwan, a talented if humourless musician who was so emotional he would cry as he played. Landed with much of the songwriting duties after Spencer vanished, he was soon out of control, struggling to handle fame and gradually  unravelling — as the story of the smashed guitar illustrates all too well.

And what of the tragic Bob Welch, who took his life last week? A young hippy whose father was a successful Hollywood producer, he joined the band after Jeremy Spencer joined the Children of God. Mick Fleetwood credited Welch with saving the group — a sane and good- humoured presence who kept spirits up in those dark years.

Wild: Jeremy Spencer, front, was a closet religious fanatic, who left the band when he joined the Children of God cult. Danny Kirwan, with added responsibility once Spencer left, unravelled as he tried to handle fame. Sadly for him, he left the band in 1. Fleetwood Mac recruited Nicks and Buckingham, and made Rumours — which until Michael Jackson’s Thriller was the best- selling album of all time.

Plymouth- born Bob Weston was revealed to be having an affair with Mick’s wife, Jenny Boyd — sister of Pattie Boyd, the former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Devastated, Fleetwood sacked Weston and the band cancelled a planned tour of America. Determined to recoup some of his financial losses, manager Clifford Davis launched one of the most bizarre stunts in the history of rock. Without telling the band, he formed a .

Bob Welch put up with the madness for another year before he left and launched a moderately successful solo career. Today, after going through a staggering 1. Fleetwood Mac still reunites for occasional project. As for the curse on their guitarists, Buckingham is still going strong, somehow avoiding ever becoming a deranged alcoholic, drug- addled schizophrenic or Bible.
