Joey Ramone

Pictured above is punk rock icon Joey Ramone, of the Ramones, backstage at the Paradise Theater (now the Paradise Rock Club) in Boston. This photo was taken on March 22, 1978, just a few months after the small, intimate venue opened its doors. Behind Joey Ramone is bassist Dee Dee Ramone (center) and drummer Tommy Ramone. (They weren’t related despite using the same surname.) Sadly, all three men in this photo have passed away. Joey died of lymphoma in 2001 at the age of 49, Dee Dee died from a heroin overdose in 2002 — he was 49 as well — and Tommy died of cancer in 2014 at the age of 65.
