366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 342 Number 25 Badfinger



I know it's an old cliché, but it's true. Badfinger 
were arguably the most tragic band in music 
history.

After years of being shat on by management, 
Pete Ham hanged himself in 1975 after 
learning that all his money had disappeared.

Tom Evans hanged himself eight years later.

So very sad.

They were tremendously gifted and wrote some 
amazing songs.


One of the tracks on my funeral CD.
And, produced by the mighty Todd Rundgren...


Yep. They wrote this one...

I can't find some of my favourite Badfinger tunes on YouTube, including this one, but here is quite an interesting cover...
