Dee Dee Ramone

Dee Dee Ramone, born Douglas Colvin (September 18, 1952 - June 5, 2002) was a founding member of The Ramones, a heavily influential punk band. He was the bass player with the band until his departure in 1988 (though he did continue to write songs for the band).

After leaving the Ramones, Dee Dee had a brief career as rapper Dee Dee King, and then formed The Chinese Dragons, occasionally reuniting with The Ramones during the 1990s.

Dee Dee was found dead in June 2002, by his wife. A drug overdose was the suspected cause of death. He is interred in the Hollywood Forever Memorial Park Cemetery in Hollywood, California.
