Randy Bachman - Personal Life

Personal Life

Bachman's first marriage was to Lorayne Stevenson, in 1966. With Stevenson, Bachman had several children, including Tal Bachman, a recording artist best known for his 1999 top-20 hit song "She's So High".

During his early Guess Who years, his religious beliefs conflicted with the sex, drugs & rock n roll lifestyle of the other band members and caused some bitterness between Bachman and bandmate Burton Cummings.

Bachman has had gastric bypass surgery to reduce his weight.

Bachman had a successful operation on his shoulder in November 2007 to repair a torn rotator cuff, which he has blamed on his decades-long use of heavy, vintage guitars.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    Such was life in the Golden Gate:
    Gold dusted all we drank and ate,
    And I was one of the children told,
    “We all must eat our peck of gold.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
