During an episode of The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan, Doors guitarist Robby Krieger revealed which names were top contenders to replace Morrison, who died of congestive heart failure on July 3, 1971. He was 27 years old at the time.
“What happened was, after the two albums, we decided, ‘Hey, maybe we should find a singer.’ So, we talked about Paul McCartney, of course, and Bob Dylan,” Krieger, 79, recalled during the interview released on Wednesday, June 4.
“Iggy Pop, yeah. But then we, for some reason, decided to go to Europe. ‘Let’s go to Europe and find someone over there.’ You know, that’ll be different,” Krieger continued.
“So, we did. We went over there. Pretty much moved our whole families over there to London, and we were trying this guy and that guy. We didn’t really get very far before Ray kind of blew the whole thing off,” Krieger added, referring to Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek.
“So at that point, it was, ‘OK, The Doors are over.’” Krieger concluded. “John [Densmore] and I were kind of pissed because we thought we still had some good stuff in us. You know, I think we could have been like a jazz trio. The whole idea behind going to Europe was to find another singer, but we never really got close to finding a singer.”
