Billy McCloud is credited for co-writing the Guns N' Roses song "Yesterdays" from Use Your Illusion II. Sadly, Billy passed in 2002, but his sister Cynthia is here to share the story. Who was he? Why just "Billy" in the UYI II liner notes? What did Axl pay out in royalites? 

Cynthia McCloud is eager to let fans know who her brother was and how generous Axl is. A previously untold tale of one of GNR's most classic songs.
