Tribute To Fallen NEW YORK DOLLS Bassist Posted Online

July 15, 2004

Star File Photo Agency has uploaded a photo gallery tribute to NEW YORK DOLLS bassist Arthur Kane, who died Tuesday night (July 13) in Los Angeles due to complications from leukemia. Kane was 55.

As previously reported, the pioneering '70s glam rock group were fresh off a well-received appearance at Morrissey's Meltdown Festival in London last month and had also opened some of Morrissey's concerts in May in New York.

It is unclear if the David Johansen-led group will still perform next month at Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival in New York.

The DOLLS are scheduled to release an album for Morrissey's Attack imprint in September, but no details have been revealed, according to Billboard.com. Johansen is understood to be in Paris and is preparing a statement on the group's future.

Kane is the fourth member of the DOLLS to pass away, including guitarist Johnny Thunders, who died of a drug overdose in 1991.
