Obituary: David Johansen, musician | Otago Daily Times Online News
SHARE
David Johansen, known for his influence on the emergence of punk rock and his association with British glam rock, was the iconic face of the New York Dolls. Hailing from New York, Johansen found himself drawn to Andy Warhol’s Factory scene, immersing himself in the vibrant arts community.

After honing his skills in various bands and the theatre industry, Johansen’s big break came in 1971 when he took over as the lead singer of the Dolls. Their rebellious lifestyle, unique style, and energetic hard rock music garnered them a dedicated following, although commercial success eluded them.

Following the band’s dissolution in 1976, Johansen embarked on a solo career, with moderate success. His alter ego, Buster Poindexter, brought him some chart success, with the hit single “Hot Hot Hot” reaching the top 20 in the US.

In 2004, the surviving members of the New York Dolls reunited for a London festival, delighting fans with their energetic performances until 2011. In addition to his musical endeavors, Johansen also made a name for himself as an actor, appearing in films such as “Scrooged” and “Freejack,” as well as TV shows like “Oz” and “The Equaliser.”

David Johansen’s legacy lives on, as he passed away on February 28 at the age of 75. His impact on the music and entertainment industry will always be remembered. – APL/agencies
