Punk-legends the New York Dolls have paid tribute to the late-great punk pioneer Malcolm McLaren. The former Sex-Pistols manager suddenly passed away yesterday (April 8th) after his long fight with cancer.
The legendary rock band from New York City, say that they will dedicate their classic song “Jet Boy” to McLaren when they play their only UK concert of 2010 in London later this month.
“Malcolm McLaren was such a marvelous amalgam of exuberation, sensuality, culture and literacy, says NY Dolls’ lead singer David Johansen. “All of this was salted with the essential recognition of his own rascality. He was the perfect preservation against stuffiness and a lack of humanity. We are going to miss him terribly.”
“Malcolm opened up the doors for punk music around the world,” adds Sylvain Sylvain, the Dolls’ original founding guitarist. “He was a visionary and took what was going on in New York City and made it global. He was a massive influence on everyone who ever had a punk shop or a punk band. His passing represents the final chapter in an era when music was exciting.”
New York Dolls will be playing at London's KOKO on Monday April 19th.
