EX-BAY CITY ROLLERS BOSS DIES

The former manager of Scottish rockers the BAY CITY ROLLERS has died, at the age of 70.
Tam Paton, who managed the group at the height of their fame in the 1970s, passed away on Wednesday night (08April09) in his Edinburgh, Scotland home after reportedly suffering a heart attack.
He oversaw the band for 11 years as they enjoyed huge success in the U.K. and abroad, with hits including Shang-A-Lang and Bye, Bye Baby.
Paton had been dogged by personal problems throughout his life - in 1982 he was convicted of gross indecency and spent three years in jail. He was also at the centre of child abuse allegations in 2003 before he was later convicted on charges of drug dealing in 2004.
