Badfinger frontman Pete Ham killed himself 40 years ago this year three days before his 28th birthday on April 24, 1975. The 40th anniversary was last month, but I was too busy with other things. However, I'm putting this up after finding out the date of his tragic suicide after Badfinger - who were one of the first power pop bands - fell on hard times after four big hits during the late 60's/early 70's with songs like "Come And Get It" and "No Matter What". They were known to be the next "Beatles" but never happened due to bad management leading to Ham's suicide in '75.
Here are samples of Badfinger's work.
Here's a clip of Pete's band The Iveys, which became Badfinger later on.

I'm Leaving DeviantART
I had an epiphany earlier this year and realized that social media, since the pandemic, has gotten worse. Meanwhile, DA's Eclipse, launched in 2020, ruined the experience; my views and faves tanked. The site's new "Mature Content" bot system, launched last November, sealed my fate as a user. I've also shut down my Instagram, Newgrounds, and Twitter accounts. After over 11 years on here, my time on DA is over. I had no idea this would happen, but it did. I'm not deactivating my account nor having my work in storage; I chose to keep them up for all to see as an archive as long as DA continues to exist; I now have new responsibilities in life. My final submission to DA is this Sunday. It's been a good run. I've met a lot of users over the years, worked on art trades/requests, and, in the last few years, participated in collaborations. When I first joined Deviantart in late 2011 as a 21-year-old, it was the first home for my series Syd's World beginning in 2012. During the next seven
New Look For Syd's World (Part Four)
This is the final part of the cast of Syd's World. The Hammond family, created in 2020, are joined by five new families I created this year. One of them is the O'Neills (Layla is Marie's older sister), and they're related to the Gallaghers. Sr. Nora is Bruce's younger sister. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
New Look For Syd's World (Part Three)
This is the third part of the cast of Syd's World. More changes to the outfits and hairstyles were needed and a number of new characters were added. Geoff and Amy's hair color are changed as well. The final part will be out next Saturday.
New Look For Syd's World (Part Two)
This is the second part of the Syd's World cast. Some of the characters shown here looked like crap when I drew them back in 2020; here, I've given them a huge facelift. The third part will be out next Saturday.
