STEVIE NICKS MOURNS THE LOSS OF TOM WHALLEY AT WARNER

[excerpt]

The move came as a shock to some who hailed Whalley's commitment to Warner's acts. "He's an artist-friendly guy," one former staffer said. "A lot of the artists love him, and he loves them."

Among those mourning Whalley's departure was Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks. "I love Tom Whalley," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "He has always been there for me and has been a huge support to artists during his tenure at Warner Bros. I'll miss him."

If you've seen the "Destiny Rules" DVD, Tom Whalley was one of the WB executives that came to the house that Fleetwood Mac was renting to record "Say You Will." The execs came to hear the demos FM had recorded, which eventually ended with Warner Bros. agreeing to issue "Say You Will." Both Lindsey and Stevie seemed happy that he came to hear their new music.

Stevie "Mourns the loss"? Tom Whalley didn't die, but only got retired. And he's either rich enough to stay that way, or he'll wind up at some other record company. And dear Ms Nicks will be better off with Rob Cavello anyway.
