New York Dolls singer David Johansen reveals stage 4 cancer diagnosis and asks fans for help ‘This is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my entire life,’ said the punk musician in a statement.
New York Dolls frontman David Johansen has revealed he is living with stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor.
“He’s never made his diagnosis public, as he and my mother Mara are generally very private people, but we feel compelled to share this now, due to the increasingly severe financial burden our family is facing,” says Hennessey.
To continue his treatment and give him the best chance of recovery, David and Mara will need full time assistance.
As hilarious and wise as David continues to be, he is physically debilitated and his care exceeds what we are capable of providing without specialized professional help.”.
