TRIBUTES have been paid to Doug Fieger, the frontman of The Knack, who has died at the age of 57.
The American singer, most famous for the 1979 hit My Sharona, died on Sunday after a long battle with cancer. Originally from Detroit, he formed The Knack in Los Angeles in 1978 and the group quickly became a staple of Sunset Strip clubs.
A year later he co-wrote and sang lead vocals on My Sharona, which became one of the biggest-selling pop songs of all time, running to more than a million copies.
Fieger said it had been inspired by a former girlfriend. I had never met a girl like her, ever, he said in a 1994 interview.
She induced madness. She was a very powerful presence and had an insouciance that wouldnt quit.
