I am saddened to hear this. At first there were rumors that it was a hoax, and I couldn't find anything about it anywhere. Now it has been confirmed :(

The powers that be will have to do some merging of threads for this one. They'll take care of it. No worries.

I'm sorry for your loss OLMNJ :(

My eyes haven't been dry in a few hours now
so much death in the news

it's sad and scary to realize that your idols are dropping left and right .
anyone's death makes you ponder your own mortality and that of your loved ones.

no one here gets out alive...
but it doesn't make it any easier to handle

The oldest member of the Doors--so likeable, great demeanor, and unusually talented on keyboards every song.

The Doors had a very unique sound because of the prominent keyboards. I've always enjoyed their music. RIP Ray.

Im not old enough to have seen the Doors but I did see Manzarek backnin 1993 in nyc and also sae krieger a couple times that year. They were must see shows to me. I just recently got densmores autograph at a book signing.


So i guess the chance of a benefit reunion with jimmy fallon is now an impossibilty as had been suggestes recently.

Btw t&h densmore was on fallon last week.
