Ray Manzarek Hayata Veda Etti

Efsanevi The Doors grubunun kurucu üyesi, dahi müzisyen Ray Manzarek hayata veda etti.

Bir çok otorite tarafından tarihin en önemli Rock and Roll sembollerinden biri olarak gösterilen Manzarek aynı zamanda dünya Rock tarihinin en önemli Klavyecileri arasında sayılmaktaydı. Rosenheim, Almanya'da kanser tedavisi gören Manzarek, 20 Mayıs Pazartesi günü 74 yaşında hastalığa yenik düştü.

The Doors üyelerinin açıklamaları;

Robby Krieger "I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my friend and bandmate Ray Manzarek today. I'm just glad to have been able to have played Doors songs with him for the last decade. Ray was a huge part of my life and I will always miss him.

John Densmore "There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison's words. Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother."
