So very, very sad. RIP Mac. A true gent and great musician. Bobby Womack, Bobby Keys and now Mac. Thanks for the great music....

@#$%& no... RIP Ian!

Ugh....this is a sad time for Stones fans.

RIP Ian.

Love and light to Mac, and thanks and praises

Terrible, R.I.P.

Oh no! one more of the good ones gone.
sad year, sad month.

RIP Mac

Horrible year, more than horrible week...

This is unbearable...

Love to Mac's family, friends and fans...

Man this is hard to take in,another Rocker gone,Thanks for the sounds Mac.

Watched "This is 40" with my wife last weekend and was so thrilled to get a brief glimpse of Mac in the last scene when Ryan Adams was playing live.

Just last night I was watching Let's Spend The Night Together w my 17 year old daughter. At one point during Under My Thumb the camera cuts to Mac and Stu pounding away on the keys and I said to my daughter "Isn't it sad that the guy on the right died a few years after they filmed this?"


Can't believe they are both gone now.

Mac was really cool and the rock and roll world will miss him terribly.

Two New Barbarians gone in two days.

Damn. Rest In Peace Mac. What a brutal year it's been not just for the Stones and their fans, but fans of Rock n' Roll

Good in the Small Faces; brilliant in the Faces; great support to the Stones, Dylan, Ronnie Wood and others - and his own band pretty good

thanks for the memories Mac

Life's way too short and unpredictable. Hug your family real good tonight.

Thanks for posting treaclefingers.
I guess it's time for that now.

Mac was such a lovely man. Had the pleasure of meeting him twice. By studying his playing I learnt how to play keys. Now I make a living playing music. Fortunately I had the chance to pay him back -literally- when I went to see him play in Austin. Whenever I would send him an email he would always take the time to reply to my geeky questions.

Such a sweet guy. When I met him in Amsterdam once I got him so drunk on strong beers he thought my friend was a girl and kissed him on the cheeks when we left. And then left his ass off about his mistake.

This is really terrible news, especially coming right on top of the news about Bobby. Mercifully, he didn't suffer too long. I just loved his keyboard playing almost more than anyone else's and he was really a fantastically lovable guy as well. Can't believe this. All thoughts go out to his loved ones. RIP, Ian.

I opened for him a few times in LA. Saw him play dozens of times, too. Helped him load his gear into his car (no one else was helping him).
Great player but an even nicer guy. Was always friendly.

RIP Mac.

RIP Mac,who will be next? they come in three...

"You know who l am, say it"

I can't think straight - my head is swimming - heart hurts.

Treacle is right - hug your friends, fmily, loved ones - don't hold grudges - none of us will be
here forever. Life is truly too short.

RIP, good man.

WTF is going on
RIP Mac...
Very sad...what the hell happened

Oh no, this is terrible news. RIP Mac

RIP Mac...........................

Very well said, treacle and swiss. Like "that other band" once has sung, "life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend".

RIP, Ian.

Das darf alles nicht wahr sein!!!

Goddamn.

Just did this interview with Mac for Hittin The Note magazine. I waited over 40 years to tell this man "Thank you" for spinning my head around in the best of ways when I was a teenager ... and his last words to me were "You're a lovely man. I appreciate it."

The piece is here.

Give 'em flowers while they can smell 'em.

They're all slipping away. It makes me so sad.

Nice piece, OLRiddim. Hope Gregg can hang in there for a while.
What a brutal one-two punch in the last couple of days.

I know it's late innings for a lot of these legends, but @#$%&.

Sorry to hear about Mac. RIP.

No hoax. I'm in Austin. Im in shock. Mac was my buddy.. I'm at a loss for words. RIP Mac...

He was the only one I wanted to be the Stones´ keyboard player.
Still can´t believe that he´s gone. He´s on a third of the music
I listen to regularly.

Glad to have seen him with the Faces in Denmark in 2010:


R.I.P., Mac!

a one -two punch is a good way to put it-if bobby was the left hook, mac is the overhand right that caught me right on the jaw.

damn,what a tough year for rock and roll.

i never saw mac with the faces and the 78 stones tour was my first time seeing him live.after that with the barbarians 3 times and the last time was on ronnies solo tour with bernard on vocals...man what a player.damn this is a bad day...

This is too much to handle. Rip Ian.
