The Runaways: Tragic Details About The Iconic Band

In the ’70s, rock and roll was a boys club dominated by bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, and The Rolling Stones. But before bands like Hole, The Donnas, and The Bangles there was The Runaways. The all-female rock band recorded and performed together from 1976 to 1979. Even though they never found success in the United States, they gained huge followings in other countries like Japan, and their music has gained an appreciation and following in later years. The band’s lineup included rock legends like Joan Jett and Lita Ford. However, The Runaways had its fair share of tragedy, and members of the band have faced loss, abuse, and heartache. #RockBand #RockandRoll #Music Just teenagers | 0:00 Abusive manager | 1:32 Rampant drug use | 2:57 Member departures | 4:01 Currie got kidnapped | 5:27 Currie’s two failed albums | 6:39 Lita Ford’s family problems | 8:14 Sandy West died young | 9:37 Kim Fowley died of cancer | 11:15 Read Full Article: ht
