The family of the late Bay City Rollers frontman Les McKeown have told how he “never found peace” and screamed in his sleep for decades after being abused by the band’s manager aged 19.
Heartthrob Les died a broken man in April 2021, aged 65, after battling drink and drug addiction for decades. Despite his troubles and numerous affairs, his widow Peko Keiko stayed by his side for 40 years.
And now she and their son Jubei have laid bare the suffering and anguish he battled after being raped by manager Tam Paton. Les kept the secret for decades and only admitted what had happened in 2009 on a reality TV show.
