Still can't believe he has gone..only 65..no age..I'm 62 this yr...and yes I was a big Rollers fan..Les was my favourite too..he always had a smile and a cheeky glint in his eyes..its a damn shame that he has fought to banish his demons and then in the midst of a well deserved revival has lost his life..it just shows you what a nice guy he was..so many of the fans that met him say he was so nice and always made time for them.. he could have been bitter..they were done out of millions but no he just kept being the nice guy he was..the voice of my teenage yrs..no longer have my scarf but still love tartan to this day..a very sad day for us roller fans..obviously condolences to his family and friends..you have left a big hole in people's hearts with your passing..fly high shine bright Les like the star you are..RIP...💔💔😭
Alan passed in July 2018 and Ian in September 2020. Now Les 💔
The Bay City Rollers were not only good musicians but the best looking of all boy bands ever, imo. Les, Eric and Alan were really the cutest in the band and Les’s voice just took every teenage girl’s breath away,at that time. RIP and still missed

全部いい曲です🤩
I was a huge fan when i was young. Les was my favorite one. We will miss you Les. Rest in peace.
Good band
I was a fan in the 70s I am Scottish and my husband & I saw Les in Lowestoft in 2019 and we had a fantastic night Les&the band were amazing ! I so wanted to see them again! My thoughts are with his wife&son at this sad time xxx
I'm so jealous was my dream to see them play. Rest in peace les. You'll be sadly missed. 😥
Its very sad he suddenly left us. My childhood memories.
RIP Les.... Thanks to you and The Rollers; a young songwriter's dream came true: "You Made Me Believe In Magic": God Bless!!
Their music was good clean upbeat the music the beat they was awesome they was the love of my life whats not to 💘 so sad we lost him never will no one take their place
R.I.P. so traurig, danke für die schöne Musik...ich war auch als Teenie total Fan
My sister was a Bay City Roller mega fan, So I ended up thinking they were cool. A little part of my childhood & the 70's died after I heard about Les passing on. And it's even sadder that it happened during these crappy Covid times !!
That is how I got to know them too, my older sister was a fan. I'm sad as well, hadn't thought of them too much but maybe once in a while. Too bad that Les struggled with alcoholism. Seemed like a great guy & of course very talented singer. Looking back makes me feel nostolgic.
May he RIP.
Same here...got to love them because my older sister was a mega fan. My favorite song was Maryanne.
What a shame how those crooks took advantage of them!!!!!! Grrr
Tam Paton their 'manager' lived like a bloody king on their money
RIP Les 🧡🙏
Theres no rollers without les very saddened we wont let the music die rest in peace miss you
Have seen him many times in later life and enjoyed my Roller concerts am devastated he's passed. Sending all my love and condolences to Peko and Jubei Mc Keown we will all miss him so much. R.I.P Les the legend
That's too bad. He had a great personality and was ripped off by his handlers for so long.
Rest in Peace brother.
5:05 Classy interviewing. What's so funny? - the man has died.
Yes, that is true. Had to shake my head because of this inappropriate laughter...😡!
I was also sad to hear that this idol of my very early youth has passed away. I'm German and unfortunately can't understand all the words in this interview, but it seems to me I heard Les had overcome his alcohol problem and that makes it sadder for me he passed away so young....R.I.P. Leslie 🌈💎
The interviewers were terrible. Love you Les.
and the DJ, rightly, shut them down, and stood up for dignity and respect for a man who, after all, gave great joy to many during a turbulent life.
Any teenagers today craving Rollermania?
this was my group back in the day i had no idea till now when i saw it we still have memories of him a lot of them are funny i used to watch there show that was good and funny to lol you will be missed les the good music show we love you les r.i.p
Les was the glue in the band - personally, I never liked the Bay City Roller's music, but I loved their enthusiasm it was infectious and truthful. Les's singing will certainly last the test of time as you can find it on compilation albums all over the world.
What I didn't realise about the BCR was Eric and Woody wrote some of my favourite songs.
So 😥 he was so talented whay
E I P LESLIE 🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I appreciate the DJ apologizing for his less than enthusiastic announcement of BCR's No 1 status, but that was his job! If I was a cashier and someone came through my line with something I found "ugly" etc...I wouldn't make a comment because that is not my job, and none of my business ;) Anyway, water under the bridge. It is extremely sad for his family and the millions of fans around the world. R.I.P. Leslie McKeown!
😢😭☹️☹️☹️
RIP Les Mckeown he was a lovely guy such a shame about the management and you Johnny Walker how rude you stick to chirpy cheep cheep cheep and what tam Paton did a bad thing 😔
His wife and son said he would cry and scream at night. They not find out why until he went to a therapy rehab in California. That paedo affected him big time. And that reviewer just brushes it away as if. Idiot he is.
Just found out now les has left his body..😩
65 is no age, it was my teens,shame
Wihelmilll me to at 3 loved it still do .
RIP Las❤🙏💔
Fair play to Johnnie Walker for apologising, but the sickening man in the TV studio can't even string a sentence together, every other word is err arrgh err, the masses are having to pay his wages with their BBC licence!
Always be the lead singer to me I was only little at the time 3 or 4 but had a tartan scarf and shirt .

Oh no, what happened?
The Bay City Rollers had much better songs than the Eagles. Plus they were a 'boy band' who could play, most boy bands only sang.
Oh the irony!! 🤦😂
The Beatles weren’t that great if you play their music now it doesn’t have any depth. Bay city rollers have a much better sound
LOL
Naga chuckling in back ground again, and trying to be funny NOT!
Les, was wonderful. I didn't like the female interviewer. Very poorly done interviewer.
This is all good until you know he was having sex with 12 different men and some women too whilst he was married, not such a glamorous person leading a respectable life.
