My Sharona singer Doug Fieger dead at 57
Doug Fieger, leader of power pop band the Knack, who sang on the 1979 hit My Sharona, has died. He was 57.
The band's manager Jake Hooker said Fieger died at his home in Woodland Hills near Los Angeles on Sunday. He had cancer.
Fieger, from the Detroit area, formed the Knack in 1978. He co-wrote and sang lead vocals on My Sharona, which held the No.1 spot for six weeks. Fieger said the song was inspired by a former girlfriend.
The Knack's albums include Get the Knack and ... But the Little Girls Understand.
In 2006, Fieger underwent surgery to remove two tumours from his brain.
