Today in Labor History April 23, 1991: Johnny Thunders died on this day, either from a drug overdose or by homicide. Thunders sang and played guitar with the New York Dolls, with Heartbreakers, and solo. In their early days, the Dolls worked with Malcolm McLaren, who modeled the Sex Pistols after them. Thunders left the Dolls in 1975, blaming Malcolm McLaren for their demise, and then formed the Heartbreakers, with former television bassist Richard Hell. I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Thunders perform before solo he died (or misfortunate, depending on your perspective). It was in New York City, at a small club. He announced to us that he was finally clean and then proceeded to fall off his stool several times. https://youtu.be/KJpDXVMxzpc
