Joey Molland, Badfinger Guitarist Who Kept the Group’s Flag Flying for Decades After Other Band Members’ Deaths, Dies at 77
Joey Molland, guitarist and sole surviving member of Badfinger, who had toured catalog hits like 'Day After Day' and 'No Matter What,' has died at 77.
But in a GoFundMe post in January, his girlfriend Mary revealed that, after feeling “vaguely ill” through the fall after wrapping up his last tour, he was in the ICU and had “acquired a very bad bacterial infection due to his diabetes. Another single, “Baby Blue,” fell short of the top 10 but remains one of the group’s most iconic songs, finding new popularity after its use in the closing moments of the series “Breaking Bad.” One such tour, in 2019, had him reuniting with Badfinger’s former producer, Todd Rundgren, along with Micky Dolenz and Christopher Cross, on a tribute to the Beatles’ White Album where band members also played their own songs.
