David Johansen has died after a lengthy health battles including cancer, a brain tumor and a broken back. When KISS was starting up in New York City he was an undeniable force of nature leading the New York Dolls as their frontman. Rest now. pic.twitter.com/dazWtKpRIy

1 of 2 posts : Sad to hear David Johansen of the New York Dolls has died. Here is a pic that my High School friend Mark Swenson took at The Santa Monica Civic March 16 1974 . Right before my 16th birthday. I was in the seat next to Mark so quite close. (Continued on next post )

RIP David Johansen. It was a pleasure working with him on the original version of my single ‘Perfect’ in NYC back in 1982 when he provided blistering harmonica. pic.twitter.com/1BDHpg4EKU
