I still remember him at Salamandra, Barcelona, back in 2011.

My parents bought me The Dolls album as a gift when I was 14. I think they were worried about me after seeing the cover❤️

RIP DJ. Wow, that was from the movie “Scrooged”.

Yep, I liked him in that movie first and then went on to discover the rest of his career.

He was funky. Funky but chic. RIP David Johansen. A raw talent who happily remained just that.

So very sad to learn that David Johansen has passed away... The first time I saw him play live was at The Showplace in Dover, New Jersey (early 80s).

RIP DJ. Please forgive the audience from 1981 at Market Square Arena. We were impatient to see Pat Benatar.

His contribution to underground music and culture was enormous. David Johansen made the world safe for high heels on men.

Now that's really sad. Funny how celeb deaths often come in groups of three isn't it?
