Bob Weston, a guitarist with Fleetwood Mac who played on the albums 'Penguin' and 'Mystery to Me,' has died at the age of 64. Police discovered the British musician's body in his home in north London after neighbors became worried, the Associated Press reports. Authorities do not suspect foul play and a subsequent autopsy revealed Weston died of a gastric intestinal hemorrhage, cirrhosis and throat problems.

Weston was brought on as a replacement for guitarist Danny Kirwan in 1972, but after playing with the band for two years, trouble began to brew. While on an American tour, Mick Fleetwood discovered that Weston had been having an ongoing affair with Fleetwood's wife, Jenny Boyd, and the guitarist was fired.
