The late musician died at his home in New York on Friday, Feb. 28, his daughter Leah Hennessey confirmed to Variety.
Johansen's death comes just weeks after Hennessey revealed that her father was battling stage 4 cancer and had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
"Five years ago at the beginning of the pandemic we discovered that David’s cancer had progressed and he had a brain tumor. There have been complications ever since. He’s never made his diagnosis public, as he and my mother Mara are generally very private people, but we feel compelled to share this now, due to the increasingly severe financial burden our family is facing," Hennessey wrote.
Hennessey also said that the trauma from the injury caused her father's illness to progress "exponentially."
Johansen's accolades also span further than the music industry, as he appeared in films like Scrooged (1988) and Let It Ride (1989), as well as TV appearances on Cupid and OZ.
In addition to his daughter, Johansen is survived by his wife Mara Hennessey.
