“Joey Ramone, lead singer of legendary punk band the Ramones, passed away Sunday at the age of 49.
The towering frontman, born Jeffrey Hyman, did not respond to treatment for lymphatic cancer, a disease that attacks the body’s ability to fight infection. U2’s “In a Little While” was playing in his room at New York-Presbyterian Hospital when he died at 2:40 p.m.” Sad, sad day.
Hope Joey is up there in Rock and Roll heaven having a good time, and knowing that he is still loved down here.
Love you Joey
Dot
