McKeown had an interesting career; he was quite talented as a performer but tended to get into scrapes. The Bay City Rollers sold almost as many records as The Beatles; after an extensive road trip, McKeown went back to Scotland thinking he would spend some of the fortune the group had made only to discover there was no money (seems to happen in entertainment with “overhead”) and there was a lien on his house for the mortgage not being paid. He also got into a physical fight with another band member on the stage in Tokyo during a performance at the Budekahn.

Not as bad but I read where the Stones didn’t own much of their early song catalogue. Some of their biggest hits.
