NEW YORK (AP) — David Johansen, the wiry, gravelly-voiced singer and last surviving member of the glam and protopunk band the New York Dolls who later performed as his campy, pompadoured alter ego, Buster Poindexter, has died. He was 75.

Johansen died Friday at his home in New York City, Jeff Kilgour, a family spokesperson told The Associated Press. It was revealed in early 2025 that he had stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor.

RIP.

Loved him in the New York Dolls, loved his solo career and his alter personality as Buster Poindexter but a very under rated album is his live one called Live it Up from 1982. It is a must own!

RIP David!

I guess I forgot about the other Dolls passing. Didn't realize he was the only one left.
