Doug Fieger, singer for The Knack, has died of cancer at the age of 57.
Fieger had been battling lung and brain cancer for a number of years.In October 2008 he told undercover.com.au that he was undergoing chemotherapy but his condition had been stable for two years. “It metastasized to my brain and sent microscopic cells into my body that have, over time, been collected by my lymph system. These are very pernicious and hard to treat”.
Doug had two brain tumors removed in August 2006. "The bad news is that this chemo is the last one that is available to me unless some clinical trial comes up so if it doesn't work I'm SOL ! Oh well .....,” he told Undercover in 2008.
Bruce Gary, the drummer for The Knack died from cancer in 2007 at the age of 55.
