Singer Of Legendary 1970’s Band ‘The Cars’ Found Dead In NYC

The singer of the legendary ‘New Wave’ band ‘The Cars’ has been found dead inside his New York City apartment. As Fox News reports:

Ric Ocasek, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame singer whose popular new wave band, The Cars, helped define the sound of rock music in the late 1970s and ’80s, was found dead in his New York City apartment on Sunday, a police spokesman told Fox News. Ocasek was 75.

His estranged wife, supermodel Paulina Porizkova, found him unresponsive Sunday afternoon at his home in Manhattan’s Gramercy Park neighborhood, sources told the New York Post, adding that he apparently died of natural causes. Police said there was no sign of foul play.

The Cars’ self-titled 1978 debut album was a smash hit, boosted by singles including “Just What I Needed.” The album helped lead the way for new wave’s influence on rock music throughout the following decade.

The band’s 1981 single “Shake It Up” hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while 1984’s “Drive” hit #3.

‘The Cars’ entered the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
