Very sad news to report that Tommy Ramone, the last original member of the Ramones has passed away.

On the Ramones Facebook Page is the following post: We are saddened to announce the passing of Tommy Ramone (nee Erdelyi), the original drummer for the Ramones, earlier today, 11 July 2014. “It wasn’t just music in The Ramones: it was an idea.
