Obituary
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Doug Fieger, leader of the power pop band The Knack who sang on the 1979 hit "My Sharona," has died. He was 57.
The band's manager Jake Hooker says Fieger died Sunday at his home in Woodland Hills near Los Angeles after battling cancer.
Fieger, a Detroit-area native, formed The Knack in 1978. He co-wrote and sang lead vocals on "My Sharona," which held the No. 1 spot for six weeks. Fieger said the song was inspired by a former girlfriend.
The Knack's albums include "Get the Knack" and "... But the Little Girls Understand."
In 2006, Fieger underwent surgery to remove two tumors from his brain.

For Doug...
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour...

Thank you Doug so much for providing such a great sound track to my life! I can't thank you enough for all the great music you and your band mates produced.
The Knack, truly one of the great rock bands and one of my favorites. They produced many great tunes that left an indelible mark on me personally and on rock music.
Bruce passed and now Doug will be greatly missed. What a wonderful legacy to leave and for having brought so much damn fun to so many lives!!!!
Thank...
