Rollers cancel second Bristol date 25 years after disappointing fans
|
Excited Bay City Rollers
fans queue outisde the Colston Hall
This was the sight in Bristol in 1975 when one of the top boy bands of the
decade, the Bay City Rollers, were due to play at The Colston
Hall. |
A fan weeps hearing the
news |
|
But
the fans' joy turned to tears when the band cancelled the show just minutes
before the start after their lead singer was in a car crash.
He was not hurt but it meant the Bristol concert was cancelled - much to
the disappointment of thousands of young women. |
Fans heard the news from BBC Radio Bristol that their heroes would not be
playing and struggled to take it in.
History repeated itself today as the Rollers were due to play again but cancelled
a second appearance at The Colston Hall. Will their West fans ever get the
chance to Shang-a-lang with their idols? |
