Legendary musician and New York Dolls frontman David Johansen has passed away at 75 after a long battle with Stage 4 cancer. His wife Mara Hennessey confirmed his death in their home, surrounded by loved ones.
Johansen had been living with cancer for several years, undergoing various treatments including chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and surgery. Despite the financial burden on his family, he remained private about his condition until recently.
His daughter Leah took to social media to raise awareness and funds for her father’s care, sharing a link to the Sweet Relief Musician Fund. Johansen was also known for his alter ego Buster Poindexter, with hits like “Hot Hot Hot” in 1987. The family is now seeking support from fans as they navigate this difficult time.
