[redguitarmanbluestra]

That was Great so sad but thank you

[Multi80schick]

I don't understand why people would give you trouble over this. Nothing else to do? I have seen controversial comments on other Badfinger related videos here, and my comments are getting censored for no good reason, but I suppose they're taking precautions...

Badfinger is what happens when you trust, without verifing. Great band but so na-iveys. Such a sad story. Thanks for sharing this video of one of my favorite groups. Hope to see part 2?

Thanks BBC4.

You've done a kindness in a world where kindness is becoming scarce...and certainly was at Badfinger's end of the music business.

Not quite presented properly. Ron as fired AFTER 'The Iveys' had signed with Apple and had 2 singles and an LP released, plus a song on a promotional EP. What will part 2 include?

Thank you so much for uploading this! One of the best bands in the history of rock. This story still moves me to anger and regret, much in the same way the Buddy Holly story does.

Beautiful Pete Ham.

If Pete Ham would have just held on some how ,that would have helped in the long run .Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporay problem..

[spaceshig]

wait why he hung himself the guy in 0:31

[johnny10301968]

@spaceshig He hung himself over the same financial problems that Pete had 8 years earlier. The guy at 0:31 is Tom Evans.
