New York Dolls bass player Arthur Kane dies
NEW YORK -- New York Dolls bassist Arthur Kane died Tuesday night in Los Angeles due to complications from leukemia, the pioneering '70s glam
rock group's manager told Billboard.com. Kane was 55. The reunited Dolls 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. 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. (Billboard.com)
