Fucking hell - absolutely harrowing read. What a cunt Gillespie is
Primal scream…

Two sides to this story though? If he was an alcoholic and messing up during gigs, what alternative did they have but to throw him off tour and tell him to go and sort himself out?
I think most of Manchester put pressure on Bobby to help with the funeral costs of their forner backing singer Denise Johnson. He basically wouldn’t chip in.
A true Scotsman.

Has always comes across as a right wanker BG has so no surprise.
He’d be very proud of his son alright
I think youre missing he got cut out of the band, treated like shit , got no royalties and subsequently no money which led to him drinking more.
Jules72 I knew someone would post a moronicly reductive take completely lacking in basic empathy and you didn’t disappoint. Fuck me, did you even read the (one would imagine legally binding) statement before you puked that into your keyboard?
30 years as a band member (and by most accounts the most talented one) including writing on two of the albums and he got sweet fa for it because Gillsepie and Innes hoarded the fucking lot including 5m for their back catalogue. JFC.
Jules is having a bad week. It’s going to get worse for him tomorrow too.

Jules72 I don’t know the details Wally…
Classic
Cankles-McJeggings yeah falling out with a conspiracy theorist over the Ukraine… and now this… week ruined
Bobby GiCUNTspie.
Or something like that.
…I did read the whole thing, and think its possibly fair to say that there is more to his behaviour than the report suggests- the rebuttals against the accusations of him falling-over/poor performances on stage are particularly weak… ‘but LOADS of people that were there said he actually did OK’ or ‘he confessed that he did actually have a drink before playing that night’ etc. However, there is absolutely no reason for an original band member with writing credits over multiple albums to be needing to sign-on WHILE TOURING with said band, or to get 0% from £5M of sold rights.
In summary… BG is without question a massive cunt.
alistair Shame BG turned into a fucking Tory
Reminds me of Loopygate. Another Tory scam.
Millsy That was a Tory Boy scam, as you know - subtle difference. One is fuelled by stupidity and the other by pure selfish greed.
