OOoooh Another Roller gone whilst the fortune earned remains beyond the reach of the band. He was the one who drove to Edinburgh accompanied only by a documentary crew from Channel Four to confront the rotund remains of their manager (Tam Paton) about where - exactly - "the fucking money" was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 606 Posted April 22, 2021 I wasn't much of a Bay City Rollers fan (I was 2/3 at their height), though used to watch Shang-A-Lang religiously, and I was always a Derek fan (yes, I know, a bit problematic...) this is really, really sad news and yet another piece of childhood gone. "Died suddenly" sounds like a heart attack to me. Anyway, RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
