Joey Molland, the last surviving member of the iconic 1970s Welsh rock band Badfinger, died on March 1 at the age of 77 due to complications from diabetes and pneumonia. He had been hospitalized for several months before his passing. Badfinger's official Facebook page shared the heartbreaking news, expressing gratitude for Molland's contributions to music. Molland struggled with health issues leading up to his death, including a serious bacterial infection that had critical effects on his body, as highlighted in a GoFundMe started by his partner.
"Well, the day we never wanted to see has arrived. Joey (Joseph Charles) Molland passed away last night, surrounded by Mary (his partner), his two sons, and other family members at 11:39 pm CST."
"Needless to say, although I knew the situation was bad, it was still a shock to the system. Thank you, Joey...for keeping the band's music alive for so long."
