Publisher's Synopsis

The Bay City Rollers were a pop band from Scotland who became worldwide teen idols in the 70s. Their story is one of worldwide pop hysteria coupled with an almost unrelenting behind the scenes darkness: rape, murder, suicide, deadly car crashes, organised drug-dealing, beatings, rent boys, prison sentences, sexual abuse of children, exploitation, manipulation, drug and alcohol addictions, self-hatres, missing millions, corruption, blackmail and more.
