The wife of Bay City Roller legend Alan Longmuir has told how his death left her ‘devastated’ - and revealed he spent his final hours with his bandmate Les McKeown.

Alan passed away aged 70 on July 2, 2018, with his family by his side after he fell seriously ill in Mexico where he was on holiday with his wife Eileen.

Eileen told how he was rushed back to Scotland after asking to ‘go home’. Medics in Mexico told Eileen the only thing that could help Alan was a liver transplant but that with his age and medical history there was ‘no hope’.They decided to fly him back to Scotland but on the journey home his condition got worse.They wanted to land the air ambulance in Iceland to get him to hospital, but Alan said no and that he ‘want to go home’.Eileen, who married Alan in 1998, revealed how his passing left her ‘devastated’ and that she is amazed by the ongoing love and admiration for her ‘soulmate’.Eileen said: “It was devastating.

I wasn’t allowed to leave Alan’s room, I think they were afraid I might take off and leave him with no means of payment for his treatment.“I had nobody to turn to until I managed to get hold to my son.“I had to ask to explore selling our house to meet the mounting medical bills.“I didn’t realise how ill he was and was convinced they could save him until the Doctor said the only thing that could help was a liver transplant.“But that at his age and with his medical history, two heart attacks and a stroke, there was no hope of that happening.“That was when our thinking changed and Alan just wanted to get back to Scotland.“From then, it was about getting him well enough for the journey home.“On the
