- Badfinger was a British rock band consisting originally of Pete Ham, Ron Griffiths, Mike Gibbins and Tom Evans, active from 1968 to 1983, and evolving from The Iveys, formed by Ham, Griffiths and David "Dai" Jenkins in Swansea, Wales, in the early 1960s. Joey Molland joined the group in 1969, following the departure of Griffiths. Signed by The Beatles' Apple label in 1968 as The Iveys, they adopted the name Badfinger in 1969. Although initially drawing Beatle comparisons on account of some musical resemblances and individual Beatles' mentorship, Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits in 1970 and 1971: "Come and Get It" (written and produced by Paul McCartney), "No Matter What", "Day After Day", and "Baby Blue". The Ham/Evans-penned Badfinger song, "Without You", became a "Billboard" number one hit for Harry Nilsson, and later a number three hit for Mariah Carey. In 1970, the band engaged American businessman Stan Polley to manage their commercial affairs. Over the next five years while the band recorded several albums for Apple, they toured extensively, but became embroiled in the chaos of Apple Records' dissolution. They signed to Warner Bros. , but Polley's financial machinations resulted in a lawsuit by Warner Bros. over missing escrow account money. Warner's consequent withdrawal from market of the 1974 album, Wish You Were Here, (seven weeks after its release), cut off the band's income and plunged them into disarray and despair. Three days before his 28th birthday, on 24 April 1975, Ham committed suicide, leaving a note that included damning comments about Polley. The next three years saw surviving members trying to rebuild their personal and professional lives against a backdrop of lawsuits. The albums Airwaves (1978) and Say No More (1981) floundered, as Molland, Gibbins and Evans see-sawed between cooperation and struggle in attempts to revive and capitalize on the Badfinger legacy. Having seen Ham's body after Ham's wife had called him, Evans reportedly never got over his friend's suicide, and was quoted as saying in darker moments, "I wanna be where he is. " On 19 November 1983, Evans also took his own life by hanging.
- Badfinger fue un grupo británico de rock frecuentemente considerado uno de los primeros del estilo llamado power pop. La banda fue exitosa comercialmente a principios de los años 70 y debido a su estilo similar al de The Beatles y a su contrato con el sello independiente de esa banda, Apple Records, fue considerada su posible sucesora. Sin embargo, una serie de problemas con sus sellos discográficos hicieron que sus integrantes no recibieran dinero pese al éxito de sus singles, por lo que tuvieron problemas económicos que llevaron a sus dos principales compositores al suicidio, en 1975 y 1983.
- Badfinger oli brittiläinen pop- ja rockyhtye, joka kuuluu power pop -lajityypin edelläkävijöihin. Se sai alkunsa 1960-luvulla Swanseassa Walesissa ja hajosi vuonna 1975 Peter Hamin tehtyä itsemurhan.
- I Badfinger sono stati un gruppo musicale rock fondato a Swansea in Galles nei primi anni sessanta, e primi rappresentanti del genere power pop. Il gruppo nacque nel 1964 con il nome The Iveys. Durante gli anni settanta il gruppo fu etichettato dai mass media con il prestigioso titolo di eredi dei Beatles, in parte per via dei loro stretti rapporti di lavoro con i quartetto di Liverpool, ed in parte proprio per via del sound simile. Tuttavia la carriera dei Badfinger ebbe una brusca frenata di arresto, quando i due principali frontman e compositori del gruppo, Pete Ham e Tom Evans, si suicidarono, rispettivamente nel 1975 e nel 1983. Ad oggi il loro brano musicale maggiormente ricordato è Without You, che nel corso degli anni ha ricevuto numerose cover.

- Badfinger var et britisk rock- og popband som ble dannet i Swansea i Wales i 1965 under navnet The Iveys. På slutten av 1960- og begynnelsen av 1970-tallet ble bandet opphauset til å være arven etter The Beatles, blant annet på grunn av deres tette forbindelse til medlemmene i The Beatles. De fikk også kontrakt med The Beatles’ eget plateselskap i 1968, Apple Records. Etter deres første singleutgivelse, (Maybe Tomorrow), byttet The Iveys navn til Badfinger. Badfingers metoraktig stigning og fall har blitt stående som advarsel i det britiske rockemiljøet.
- Badfinger foi uma banda britânica de power pop, considerada uma das mais promissoras bandas de rock do final dos anos 1960, fazendo parte da Apple (que apesar do fim dos Beatles ainda manteve-se na ativa). Experimentou o gosto do sucesso tanto na Inglaterra quanto nos Estados Unidos, mais até do que muitas outras bandas ousaram sonhar. Até 1969 chamava-se The Iveys, bem como uma das canções do álbum lançado naquele ano. Contaram com uma coleção expressiva de hits como Come And Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, Baby Blue, Without You, entre muitos outros mas, apesar de tudo isso, não conseguiram desfrutar do sucesso de seu trabalho, tendo uma história atribulada e até trágica. Após anos de turnês e inúmeros processos legais (que apenas serviram para enriquecer alguns advogados), os líderes criativos da banda - Pete Ham e Tom Evans - acabaram, em momentos distintos, cometendo suicídio.

- Badfinger — британская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в c 1969 году в Суонси, Уэльс, и исполнявшая пауэр-поп; многие критики относят её к числу пионеров этого жанра в Британии. В начале 1970-х Badfinger считались прямыми последователями The Beatles — как в стилистическом плане, так и в силу того обстоятельства, что группе покровительствовал Пол Маккартни, спасший её от раннего краха и спродюсировавший основные релизы. Badfinger получили контракт с Apple Records (cтав, как отмечает Allmusic, единственной группой экстра-класса, оказавшейся на этом лейбле), выпустили серию запоминающихся и успешных синглов, но оказались жертвой — как нечистоплотности представителей музыкального бизнеса, с которыми вынуждены были иметь дело, так и трагического стечения обстоятельств. В результате двое основных авторов группы покончили с собой (Пит Хэм — в 1975 году, Том Эванс — в 1983), а Badfinger вошли историю как «самая неудачливая группа» всех времён. Возможно, известнейшую из песен Пита Хэма и Тома Эванса, «Without You», сделал знаменитой Гарри Нилссон, а позже исполняли Мэрайя Кэри, Фрэнк Синатра, Ширли Бэсси и многие другие.
