NY Dolls bassist Arthur Kane dead at 55

[flamingyouth]

NEW YORK (Billboard) - New York Dolls bassist Arthur Kane died Tuesday night in Los Angeles due to complications from leukemia, the pioneering '70s glam rock group's manager told Billboard.com. Kane was 55.

The reunited Dolls were fresh off a well-received appearance at Morrissey's Meltdown Festival in London last month and had also opened some of Morrissey's concerts in May in New York. It is unclear if the David Johansen-led group will still perform next month at Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival in New York.

The Dolls are scheduled to release an album for Morrissey's Attack imprint in September, but no details have been revealed. Johansen is understood to be in Paris and is preparing a statement on the group's future.

1. Damn that sucks!

RIP

[DenverDem]

2. The Dolls were punk before punk was cool.

Way ahead of their time. David Johansen is a brilliant performer in his own right.

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. Damn.

Let's just hope this doesn't mean a return to Buster Poindexter.

4. I always preferred his stuff with Johnny Thunders the best

"Chatterbox," for example.:headbang:

7. That's sad

They were an enormous influence on the punk scene. That leaves three of the originals....right?
Even though I was just a young one during their heyday...I feel a little bit older today.

[NWHarkness]

9. No, two

Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan are both dead as well.

[LuCifer]

8. Aw bloody hell

Damnation. Well, sympathies to the family & fiends.
The NY Dolls 1st album (self titled) is a punk classic!

Lu Cifer, reminding you to keep on rockin' in the free world!

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
