David Johansen, the 75-year-old singer of the New York Dolls, is battling Stage 4 cancer that has developed into a brain tumor, along with a broken back. His daughter Leah Hennessy disclosed this in emotional posts, indicating that the health condition has escalated due to complications from a recent fall. The family is now facing a financial burden due to the extensive medical bills and is starting a fundraiser. Johansen acknowledges the toll of his condition and the support he needs at this emergency stage.
As some, but not many of you know, David has been in intensive treatment for stage 4 cancer for most of the past decade. Five years ago, we discovered his cancer had progressed and he had a brain tumor.
Due to the trauma, David's illness has progressed exponentially and my mother is caring for him around the clock. There have been complications ever since.
This tumble the day after Thanksgiving really brought us to a whole new level of debilitation. This is the worst pain I've ever experienced in my entire life.
We've been living with my illness for a long time, still having fun, seeing friends and family, carrying on, but this is an emergency. Thank you.
