incredible story and very sad.
You may be referring to VH1's Behind The Music: Badfinger. There is also a book called - Without You : The Tragic Story of Badfinger. Two members committed suicide, Pete first, and then Tom, years later.

They were song writers and musicians unto themselves and I never really thought of them being like the Beatles.
