Bummer. I've always been a fan of the Doors' music.

Pretty sure it's not a hoax, sadly... it was announced on The Doors official Facebook and their website as well..

Well, if true, I'm saddened to hear of his death. The Doors have always been in the top three bands that I would have loved to have seen. Hendrix, the Doors, and Lynard Skynard.
I always loved listening to Ray talk in the numerous interviews I've seen.

Same here. His stories about JM and the band were always great.
I'm playing The Doors all day tomorrow. I used to be a huge fan. Spanish Caravan is my second favorite:

The stories behind three classic Doors tunes...
And, one of my all-time favorite Doors songs. I always crank it up when this one comes along...

In 2001 Ray was playing bass with Roy Rogers.

I remember one particular interview with Ray shortly after the Oliver Stone Doors movie came out. Ray was a tad agitated, and I mainly remember him saying, "Jim was NOTHING like that" in reference to how Morrison was portrayed.
Oh, and I never could stand Val Kilmer. Is he even still alive?

If I remember correctly he was mostly upset that Stone chose to portray Jim as a tee total drunkard. Jim was pretty out there but lsd was more his speed vs alcohol, probably because it was a drug you could still have motor function while tripping.
