The Strokes and Blondie will participate in a benefit concert honoring Johnny Ramone on October 8. The proceeds will benefit the Cedars Sinai Cancer Research Center.
Johnny Ramone is still fighting his prostate cancer, but he is nonetheless working on his memoirs. In an interview with the Washington Times, he stated: "I will tell my story and the straight story of the Ramones in this book, with all the rough edges attached. Some people will be surprised to find out my version of how life in the Ramones was and the lasting effect that band has had on music."
Meanwhile, Tommy Ramone is working as the musical director for the Ramones musical Gabba Gabba Hey, which is based on the novella by Michael Hermann. The band leadership is held by former The Clash guitarist Nick Sheppard. Following the recently concluded showcase in Perth, Australia, the musical is set to come to the States next year.
