And no.  Don't ask.

 

 

The guy who wrote the song passed away a while back and the drummer doesn't have a writing credit.  It would be interesting to know whether he gets any kind of residuals as being one of the performers.

 

I think in the interests of privacy, I'm not going to name the guy (or song) but I reckon a ton of people on here know the song concerned and there's likely a few of our number probably played it in the last week or so.

No worries, I was interested as I believe you and I live in roughly the same area and the way you described the drummer reminded me of someone who I was wondering if it's the same person. More recently he was playing in a really good female fronted 3 piece playing 80's covers.

An industry that exploits it's workers and then discards them without a second thought? Nah. It'll never happen.

Well, personally, when my music career ended, I finished my A-Levels, left school, went on the dole for a few weeks and then got a job. 😄

 

It might not have been the intention of your post, but it comes across to me as being really sad that you appear to have let the expectations of society stomp all over any dreams you might have had.

Don't you have a reunion tour to pay for your divorce?
