Dee Dee Ramone found dead
Posted:
It is believed that Bassist of The Ramones, Douglas Glenn Colvin aka Dee Dee, aged 50, has passed away. He was found by his wife at his hollywood home on Wednesday June 5th. He was pronounced dead at 8.40pm by paramedics and the Los Angeles coroner's office press statement reads: "The investigator noted drug paraphernalia, including a single syringe on the counter, and we are handling it as a possible accidental overdose".
Former bandmate Joey Ramone passed away last April.
The Ramones website carries a statement of the bassist's passing with a quote paraphrased from the Bible "Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands; sing forth the honor of Dee Dee's name; make his praise glorious."
Rest in Peace Dee Dee.

Dee Dee Ramone found dead
drugs are fucking shit, i would have thought people would have learned from all their previous musical heroes that drugs are fucking stupid. i understand that people have mental problems and need to escape and all that crap, but it just pisses me off that people think intoxicants are cool, i can't even walk the streets without some drunk patriotic bastard attacking me. fuck it all these great people are wiping themselves out. sex drugs and rock and roll is a shit industry mess.
THE RAMONES we love you!!!!!!! -

Sad and true. We haven't lost anyone at all. We know exactly where they are and how they got there.
