THE DOORS Manager DANNY SUGERMAN Dies Of Cancer

January 6, 2005

Danny Sugerman, longtime manager of THE DOORS and author of the GUNS N' ROSES book "Appetite For Destruction: The Days Of Guns N' Roses", died Wednesday (Jan. 5) in West Hollywood after a long battle with cancer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He was 50.

Sugerman became involved with THE DOORS as a teenage fan during the group’s heyday in the late '60s. He worked as a go-fer for the band, and idolized flamboyant lead singer Jim Morrison. After Morrison's death in Paris in 1971, he became increasingly involved with the surviving members' career and eventually served as their manager.

Sugerman is survived by his wife Fawn Hall Sugerman, and a brother and sister.
