David Johansen has thanked fans for their support, a week after the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund charity launched a fundraiser to help the last surviving member of the New York Dolls as he faces severe health battles.
Speaking from bed, wife Mara Hennessey sitting at bedside, Johansen says, "I just wanted to thank you all for giving us a big boost here with our fundraising campaign, I guess you would call it. 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."
