Former Bay City Roller Pat McGlynn Cleared of Stalking Charges, Plans Musical Comeback
Pat McGlynn, former rhythm guitarist of the Bay City Rollers, recently found himself at the center of legal headlines after being accused of stalking. The allegations, which shocked many longtime fans, were ultimately dismissed by the Crown Prosecution due to procedural errors.
McGlynn, now 65, appeared in court to defend himself against the claims. He maintained his innocence from the beginning, calling the charges “unfounded and deeply damaging.” The court agreed that the evidence was insufficient, and the case was dropped before going to trial.
Following the legal resolution, McGlynn issued a public statement expressing gratitude for the support he received and disappointment over how the situation unfolded. “I’m relieved the truth came out,” he said. “Now it’s time to focus on what I love—music.”
He has since announced plans to release a new album and embark on a tour in Japan later this year, marking a return to the stage after years away from the spotlight.
While the ordeal was a setback, McGlynn’s resilience and focus on his passion for music have sparked renewed interest from fans around the world, eager to see what’s next for the former pop icon.
