johnny ramone

Se murió Johnny Ramone a los 55 años. Tenía cancer de próstata.

Con esto solo queda Tommy Ramone del set original de Ramones. Joey se murió de cáncer linfático en 2001 y Dee Dee de una sobredosis el año siguiente.



Dice en el sitio de la banda:

We are immensely saddened by this terrible loss. Johnny contributed in many ways to the success and greatness of the Ramones. But it was his strength and guidance, which made everybody else's work come to an effective completion, that made him the group's centre of gravity, providing the balance and stability that kept the band, its support crew, and the entire Ramones organisation together and in rocking shape.

Johnny's strength came from his character, rich in decency and honesty. His sense of fairness and his strategies always pointed towards the benefit of the Ramones and their fans as an inseparable unit.

In this moment of tragedy and darkness, let us find solace, and a cure to our pain, in the knowledge that Johnny accomplished to the limit his life's aspirations, and in the process he made ours seem possible.
