Plans underway for a Tommy Ramone memorial

Drummer and producer Tommy Ramone (aka Thomas Erdelyi), the last surviving original member of the Ramones, died last Friday at age 65.

Tim Hayes and the remaining members of the CBGB family are finalizing details for a formal event in Tommy's memory.

The evening will include intimate and personal stories from many of the people who were the closest to him. Tickets will be $5 with 100 percent of the money going to a cancer charity. (Tommy died of bile duct cancer.)

"It should be a very special and beautiful night," said Hayes. "Tommy had a sweet soul and he changed music and NYC forever."
