'My Sharona' Singer Doug Fieger Dead

Doug Fieger, lead singer and guitarist of rock group The Knack, is dead at age 57. The Knack was most famous for the single "My Sharona," which spent 6 weeks at the top of the charts in 1979 and became a requirement for bar bands everywhere. Fieger had battled lung and brain cancer for 6 years, the Detroit Free Press reports, but remained optimistic throughout: “I’ve had 10 great lives,” he said in a January interview. “And I expect to have some more. I don’t feel cheated in any way, shape or form.” (More music stories.)
