BRUCE KULICK Is 'Incredibly Saddened' By Passing Of THE KNACK's DOUG FIEGER

February 15, 2010

Former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick has commented on the passing of Doug Fieger, THE KNACK lead singer who co-wrote the new-wave band's biggest hit, "My Sharona".

Fieger died Sunday (February 14) at his Woodland Hills, California home after a battle with cancer. He was 57 years old.

Says Kulick: "I was incredibly saddened to learn yesterday of Doug Fieger's passing away after a long battle with cancer.

"I was fortunate to get to know Doug through our work with the Rock 'n Roll Fantasy camp, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that in addition to his well known work with THE KNACK (who can forget the incredible riff that forms the hit 'My Sharona'),Doug was also a fellow guitar freak who had an amazing collection of gear.

"I am honored to have had Doug perform on [Kulick's recently released third solo album] 'BK3' and I am very grateful to have known him."
