The Monkees were a thing.... cringingly, embarassingly American but the music was good.
Nesmith was the most vocal against the confected image of the Monkees and paid the penalty when he left in 1970, having to pay $450k to get out of his contract, a sum that left hm financially crippled for a decade.
He had to cancel the last four dates of his 2018 tour with Micky Dolenz and it later transpired that he had undergone quadruple bypass heart surgery, and had been hospitalized for over a month.
