New York Dolls singer David Johansen has died after silently battling Stage 4 cancer for several years, Fox News Digital confirmed.
Johansen's wife, Mara Hennessey, told Fox News Digital he died Friday in their "sunny bedroom, surrounded by flowers and music, holding hands with me and our daughter, Leah."
"We had a marvelous adventure of a life together. He was an extraordinary man. So grateful we went public with news of his illness before his passing, as the past couple of weeks have been full of messages and love from family, friends, and fans," Hennessey shared.
In February, Mara and Leah shared that David was battling cancer, and they were looking for support from his fans.
"David has been living with Stage 4 cancer for several years. He’s undergone chemo, radiation, immunotherapy and surgery and weathered all the side effects and consequences of the various treatments, all with his indomitable spirit and incomparable sense of humor," Mara said.
