Doors Week continues on the B Rock Notes. It was 46 years ago this week (July 3rd, 1971) that Jim Morrison was found dead in a bathtub in Paris, France.
Formerly estranged Doors bandmates John Densmore and Robby Krieger will join forces next month to pay tribute to the band's late co-founders, Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek.
A couple months ago, John Densmore hinted that he and his former Doors bandmate Robby Krieger had buried the hatchet after a long feud and were even considering doing a tribute show for Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, who died of cancer in May. Seems it wasn't just idle chitchat: Krieger now says that tribute concert could happen early next year.
The world lost a true star when Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek succumbed to bile duct cancer on May 20. The band is celebrating his legacy with a fundraising effort designed to help others suffering from the disease.
News of Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek's death sent grief through the rock community yesterday (May 20), with many of his peers sharing their sadness via social networks. Perhaps none was more keenly felt, however, than that of Manzarek's longtime musical partner, Doors drummer John Densmore.
