My Sharona singer is dead

Doug Fieger, leader of the power pop band The Knack, who sang on the 1979 hit ‘My Sharona,’ died Sunday. He was 57. Fieger died at his home in Woodland Hills near Los Angeles after a long battle with cancer, according to The Knack’s manager, Jake Hooker. Fieger battled cancer for six years.
