    Johnny Ramone, guitarist and co-founder of the legendary band THE RAMONES died in his sleep Wednesday, September 15th following a five year battle with prostate cancer. He was 55.

    Ramone (born John Cummings) founded the band in 1974 with Joey Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone and Tommy Ramone. Joey (real name Jeff Hyman) died of lymphatic cancer in 2001, Dee Dee (Douglas Colvin) died of a drug overdose in 2002. Tommy is the only surviving member of the original line-up.

    Along with his wife Linda Cummings, Ramone's friends Eddie Vedder (PEARL JAM) and wife Jill, Rob Zombie and wife Sherrie, Lisa Marie Presley and others were at his bedside when he passed away.

    Poor guy. I knew he didn't have long left but this still surprised me.

    That sucks.
    Isn't it Ironic, that unlike spinal tap, the drummers have survived?
    Tommy, Marky and Richie.

    No doubt CJ is a very, very worried Ramone
