Tommy Ramone, the last surviving member of the original Ramones, has died at the age of 62.
He was reportedly receiving treatment for bile duct cancer, and died in the New York borough of Queens on Friday.
He had lived there since he was a young boy after moving from Budapest.
Ramone was the drummer and co-producer in the early years of the Ramones, a band which started the punk rock movement.
He worked on the band's first three albums - Ramones, Leave Home and Rocket to Russia – which featured some of their best-known songs including Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend and Rockaway Beach.Watch the Ramones playing at Rock City in 1994:
The band were renowned for their straggly hair, leather jackets and torn jeans, and although they were influential, they had no Top 40 hits in Britain.

Three of the founding members had passed away by 2004.
Guitarist Johnny Ramone died of prostate cancer in 2004, Joey Ramone died in 2001 on lymphatic cancer, while bassist Dee Dee Ramone died from a heroin overdose in 2002.
