"Badfinger" Unisex T-Shirt

The Beatles' protégés. Power pop pioneers. A tragic story that still haunts rock history. Badfinger had it all—the first band signed to Apple Records after the Beatles, mentored by Paul McCartney, and blessed with songwriting genius in Pete Ham and Tom Evans. They created timeless songs like "No Matter What," "Day After Day," and "Baby Blue," sold 14 million records, and defined the power pop sound that influenced everyone from Big Star to Cheap Trick.

But Badfinger's story is also one of rock's greatest tragedies. Signed to Apple in 1968, they recorded five albums and toured extensively before becoming embroiled in the chaos of Apple's dissolution and devastating management fraud. The financial and emotional toll led to the heartbreaking suicides of Pete Ham in 1975 and Tom Evans in 1983. Their music deserved better. They deserved better.
