New York Dolls Frontman David Johansen Dead at 75 After Stage 4 Cancer
New York Dolls frontman David Johansen died on Friday, February 28, at the age of 75
“David Johansen died at home in NYC on Friday afternoon holding hands with his wife Mara Hennessey and daughter Leah, surrounded by music, flowers and love,” a spokesperson for the musician told Rolling Stone in a Saturday, March 1, statement. She added, “I know how dire so many of our situations are right now, and how much fundraising literally everyone is doing but if you love David or any of the magick [sic] he’s brought into the world please just take a minute to read this or share it. He’s never made his diagnosis public, as he and my mother Mara are generally very private people, but we feel compelled to share this now, due to the increasingly severe financial burden our family is facing.”
