Johnny Ramone dying...

Johnny Ramone, a founding member of the seminal '70s punk band, is dying of cancer in a Los Angeles hospital, drummer Marky Ramone tells RollingStone.com. "Johnny's been a champ in confronting this, but at this point I think the chances are slim," his former bandmate says on the Website.

The 55-year-old guitarist, whose real name is John Cummings, was reportedly diagnosed with prostate cancer four years ago and has undergone extensive chemotherapy treatment in a losing battle with the disease.
