In a harrowing revelation that shatters the carefully manufactured image of one of Britain’s biggest 1970s pop phenomena, Stuart "Woody" Wood of the Bay City Rollers has courageously exposed the dark truth behind the band’s meteoric rise to fame. In his new autobiography *Mania*, Wood describes the band's former manager, Tam Paton, as a “true monster,” accusing him of vile abuse and manipulation that spanned years, beginning when Wood was just 16. While the group was marketed as wholesome heartthrobs for teenage girls, behind closed doors, a predator operated unchecked within the entertainment industry's upper ranks. Wood’s testimony is a powerful reminder of how corruption and moral decay thrive in elite circles while victims are silenced for decades.
