The Day Joey Ramone Died
Joey Ramone, frontman of the pioneering punk band the Ramones, died on April 15, 2001 at age 49 after a prolonged battle with lymphatic cancer. His health struggles began early, including a spinal tumor and an OCD diagnosis, and he kept his cancer private until early 2001. The Ramones announced their breakup on Howard Stern in February 1996 and played their final show in August 1996, months before his diagnosis became public. Ramone was working on his solo debut, Don’t Worry About Me, which was released posthumously in February 2002, shortly before the band’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
