The Monkees' Tragic Real Life Story

When Beatlemania was sweeping the world in the 1960s, some American TV producers decided to create their own version of the Beatles. Thus, the Monkees were born.

Soon, the first band created for TV proved themselves to be quite talented in their own right, and they had more success than the show’s creators could have ever guessed. However, as with so many other bands who found overnight success, the Monkees have been through a lot of tragedy as well.

From the decisions that lost them some fans to the sad deaths of two band members, let’s take a look at the tragic real-life story of the Monkees.
