There are few bands in the history of rock music whose fate has been as tragic as that of Badfinger. Originally formed in the mid sixties as the "Iveys" Badfinger shot to prominence in the late sixties after signing to the Beatles "Apple" label. Initially the band experienced huge success both in England and in the United States Of America with a string of memorable hit singles including "Come And Get it", "Day After Day,No Matter What, and Baby Blue.
However the band saw little financial reward for all its success, instead the band experienced continuous management problems and legal proceedings which had no small impact on its career. Sadly this turmoil precipitated the tragic suicides of two its creative members.
The events which led to these above mentioned events and the eventual demise of Badfinger are too many and complicated to mention here, however if you are interested in the Biography of Badfinger I would highly recommend you purchase the revised edition of "Without You - The Tragic Story Of Badfinger" by Dan Motovina, as in my opinion it is the most comprehensive guide to Badfinger available.
