Bay City Roller Les McKeown has passed away leaving family and friends of the band devastated.
The Edinburgh singer died suddenly on Tuesday at the age of sixty five.
His former manager John McLaughlin who dealt with his comeback shows in 2015 in broke the news after being called by Les's wife Keiko.
John said: "I'm very sad and shocked and so is Keiko, his wife. She is heartbroken and called me from Les' phone with the news. I picked up and thought it was Les wanting a chat.
"I'm still in shock right now, I spoke to him last week and he was on great form and happy about life and happy to book his tour.
"We were friends as well as working partners.
"He was hoping to get it all going again and he was one of the hardest working men in the music industry. We got on so great and he was great fun to be around. He had his moments but was always a good laugh to be around and a great performer."

He was probably shocked to learn his age for pension was 66. They’ve changed ages for that a few times in the past couple decades.

Seems like quite a few of these hard living frontmen from these bands seem to die in their mid sixties.

There is no such thing as sudden death. It is years of life style habits leading to death before it should be.
