George Harrison with Badfinger at NYC’s Ungano’s in November 1970.

“Pete [Ham] and I had done the backing track, and George came in the studio and asked if we’d mind if he played [on ‘Day After Day’]. It took hours, and hours, and hours to get those two guitars in sync. Because they did it live — George liked to do it together, live. He and Pete sat there for hours trying different riffs.” - Joey Molland, While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison “Pete just loved working with George. He felt he learned a lot from him. […] George Harrison told Pete he wanted to perform an acoustic duet of ‘Here Comes The Sun’ [at the Concert for Bangladesh]. […] ‘Pete was thrilled that someone he admired thought enough of him to do that stage spot at the Bangla Desh concert. It was really a buzz for him.” - Beverley (Pete’s former girlfriend), Without You: The Tragic Story of Badfinger

scopOphilic_documentary_116 (2010) - This hasn't made the headlines, so:

Joey Molland, guitarist, songwriter, and last surviving member of BADFINGER passed (June 21, 1947 - March 1, 2025). Joey Molland carried the Badfinger torch until the end. Their hits included: Come and Get It, Day After Day, Baby Blue, and, of course Without You (later covered by Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey) which would place them on the Rock and Roll Heaven landscape forever.

They had a tumultuous career with skyrocketing highs vaulting out of The Beatles record label: Apple to produce hit after hit. Only be to slammed with legal, managerial and financial issues which resulted in their main songwriters: Tom Evans and Pete Ham committing suicide. Their whole catalog is worth a listen but the first four albums are pretty stellar! RIP Joey.

These photos are from a concert he did in Misquamicut RI in the summer of 2010.
