Joe Egan left £3.83m estate to his wife, will reveals

Joe Egan, the Scottish musician who co-wrote Stealers Wheel’s hit “Stuck in the Middle With You”, left an estate worth nearly £3.83 million when he died aged 77 in 2024. The song reached the UK and US charts in 1973 and gained a new audience after appearing in Quentin Tarantino’s film *Reservoir Dogs*.

Egan’s estate included £2.8 million in Scottish assets and about £1 million recorded in England, including a £1.5 million share in his music publishing business and a £12,000 car. His will left the estate to his wife, Sylvia. After Stealers Wheel split in 1975, Egan left music in the 1990s and ran a publishing business; he and co-writer Gerry Rafferty had met as teenagers in Paisley.
