It’s understood he died surrounded by his family.
Earlier this year, it was disclosed that he had been battling stage four cancer and a brain tumor.
Johansen was a key figure in redefining rock and roll. With tracks like Looking For A Kiss, Trash, and Personality Crisis, he helped lay the groundwork for British punk bands like The Clash and The Sex Pistols.
His gravelly yet camped-up vocals were the perfect complement to the band’s cross-dressing aesthetic and raw blues-punk sound.
