Bay City Rollers singer Les McKeown has died at the age of 65.
A statement from his family on Twitter said: “It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our beloved husband and father Leslie Richard McKeown. Leslie died suddenly at home on Tuesday 20 April 2021.
"We are currently making arrangements for his funeral and ask for privacy after the shock of our profound loss. Thank you. Keiko and Jubei McKeown.”
Below the sad post fans rushed to share their condolences following the loss of the Scottish native who was the lead singer of the 70s' boyband.
Les found worldwide fame in the Bay City Rollers and became used to being mobbed by crowds of shrieking teenage fans in the Seventies.
The band hit the big time in 1973 with Remember before releasing hit after hit including All of Me Loves All of You, and I Only Want to Be With You.
