    The Bay City Rollers, I sang with you almost every night, cranked loudly in my bedroom. The tough things Les and I guess the others went through. I’ll never forget your tartan, adorable cute smiles and wonderful voices. My condolences to your family, friends and other fans Les.

    I was a huge Bay City Rollers fan back in the day and I still am. I had all the plaid clothes and Bay City Rollers socks. To this day I still have all of their albums that I never parted with. Back in the day I painted a lot and I have a portrait of the group I did. I was very proud of it. As of now, it has been in my attic, but I think it is time to bring it down for people to enjoy it! Les, RIP, you will be loved and missed!!

    It's another rainy day in our hearts. Ruhe in Frieden lieber Les, deine wunderbare Stimme darf nun in einer anderen Welt erklingen. Meine Gedanken und Gebete sind bei den Hinterbliebenen die mit dem plötzlichen Tod zurechtkommen müssen. Mir bleibt in Erinnerung als er auf der Japantour 82 bei dem Lied, The way I feel tonight, seinen Glauben postulierte, als er völlig unerwartet ein God I Love you einfließen ließ, was im Originaltext gar nicht vorkommt. Wunderbar Les, denn liebe zu Gott bedeutet ewiges Leben in Seiner Gegenwart. Du bleibst unvergessen, denn du warst eine musikalische Liebe meines Lebens. So rest forever
    in peace Les.
