THE DOORS Founding Member and Keyboardist RAY MANZAREK Dies at 74
Legendary Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek lost his battle with cancer this afternoon. He was 74.
There had been rumors circulating that Manzarek’s death was a hoax, but the news was confirmed on The Doors’ official website.
R.I.P. Ray. Thank you for all the fantastic music.
The Doors are one of those bands where literally everything they have released is truly spectacular. A vital counterweight to the flower-power, free-love movement of the late sixties, and what Marilyn Manson called “the first real punk band.” RIP, Mr. Manzarek. He was just touring last year, too…
