Tommy Ramone Dies After Battle With Cancer

Tommy Ramone, the last original member of US punk band the Ramones, has died.

The 62-year-old passed away in hospice care in New York on Friday after battling cancer.

His death was announced on the band's official Facebook page.

Tributes to the band poured in from the likes of former My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way, comedian Noel Fielding and ex-Guns N'Roses drummer Matt Sorum, who tweeted: "Another legend gone today Tommy Ramone the original Ramones drummer . A reunion in the sky is in order. . RIP Punk Rocker".

Tommy Ramone co-produced the band's first three albums

Bill Bragg also paid his respects. "1-2-3-4! Last surviving member of the original Ramones, Tommy, has left the building," he wrote.

Born in Hungary in 1952, the drummer co-founded the group at a New York school in 1974 along with singer Joey Ramone, bassist DeeDee Ramone and guitarist Johnny Ramone.

The band members were not related but decided to change their last names to Ramone.

Tommy Ramone was the group's drummer from 1974 to 1978 and he co-produced their first three albums. 

Though they never scored a number one hit single, the Ramones were known for popular songs such as Blitzkrieg Bop and I Wanna Be Sedated.

They were also credited with inventing punk rock.

The Ramones released 14 studio albums before they disbanded in 1996.

The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2002 despite the loss of Joey Ramone to cancer in 2001.

Dee Dee Ramone died of a drug overdose just months after the ceremony.

In 2004, Johnny Ramone also lost his battle with cancer.
