    shame, the guy should have had an easier life than he did with all the hits they made and the amount of money earned through sold out gigs and merchandise, only for the management team to rob the band blind

    That's a real shame man, ended up having a wee boozy night with him and our partners in the Crowne Plaza about 5 years ago. Funny surreal night.

    RIP.

    Not my era or :61: all that tartan rock.

    ... but there was a ‘Bay City Rollers’ graffiti tag sprayed outside Union Street side entrance to Central Station that always made me smile when I walked past it ... 15-20 years after it was done... gone now but lasted decades.

    Maybe photos of it out there somewhere.... but suspect it was covered over by the time smart phones came around.

    Always surprises me that none of the big film studios have turned their story into a movie, especially with the success of Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket man and with all the different threads in their story. Would have been good to see the boys finally get some big cash they were cheated off.

    "Keep on Rolling" there, even gave it a name for some *.
