Just more than a week after he posted a video thanking fans for their support, legendary rocker David Johansen has died.

A family spokesman told The Associated Press that Johansen, who was battling stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor, died at home on Friday.

He was 75.

“Hello everybody. I just wanted to thank you all for giving us a big boost here with our fundraising campaign, I guess you would call it,” Johansen said from his bed in a video shared in late February. “I’ve never asked for help in my life and lately Mara’s been teaching me the beauty of, when your chips are down, asking for help. That’s what I’m doing and it seems to be working out really marvelously.”

Johansen’s daughter, Leah Hennessey, first alerted fans recently to how serious the 75-year-old’s situation is when she started the Sweet Relief page to raise money for his care.

“David has been in intensive treatment for Stage 4 cancer for most of the past decade,” she wrote. “Five years ago at the beginning of the pandemic we discovered that David’s cancer had progressed and he had a brain tumor. There have been complications ever since.”

Hennessey said her father and mother are “generally very private people,” so he never revealed his diagnosis.

“But we feel compelled to share this now, due to the increasingly severe financial burden the family is facing,” she wrote. “To make matters worse, the day after Thanksgiving David fell down the stairs and broke his back in two places.”

She said the Johansen had been bedridden since the surgery, and his “illness has progressed exponentially. She said her mother was caring for him around the clock.

Billboard.com said that Johansen “has long been a beloved figure on the New York scene, beginning with his time as the lead singer and provocateur of the gender-bending New York Dolls.” It noted that he also hosted a show on SiriusXM and also had several acting credits to his name.
