New York punk band RAMONES have made a statement via their official Facebook page that original drummer Tommy has passed away:
“We are saddened to announce the passing of Tommy Ramone (nee Erdelyi), the original drummer for the Ramones, earlier today, 11 July 2014.
“It wasn’t just music in The Ramones: it was an idea. It was bringing back a whole feel that was missing in rock music – it was a whole push outwards to say something new and different. Originally it was just an artistic type of thing; finally I felt it was something that was good enough for everybody.” – Tommy Ramone, 1978
RIP Tommy.”
Tommy at age 62 was the last original member of the band. R.I.P. Tommy.
