Neil Henderson, the original lead guitarist and songwriter of the Scottish pop rock band Bay City Rollers, died at age 73 after battling illness for some time, including recovering from a stroke several years ago. The band released a statement expressing condolences to his family and friends, particularly his two daughters, Heather and Shona. Henderson was part of the Bay City Rollers for two years starting in 1970 but left before the release of their debut album Rollin’ in 1974. That album debuted at number one on the UK Album Charts and spent a combined total of 58 weeks on the chart. Following his departure from the Bay City Rollers, Henderson joined another successful band, Middle Of The Road, known for their hit song "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep."
