Jerry Nolan is best remembered as the drummer for iconic protopunk band, the New York Dolls. Prior to his work with the Dolls, Nolan played in early bands of Billy Squier, Suzi Quatro, and Jayne/Wayne County. In 1972, he was hired by the Dolls to replace the recently deceased Bill Murcia. He played on the band’s first two albums, New York Dolls and Too Much Too Soon. In 1975, Nolan and Johnny Thunders left the group and formed the Heartbreakers with Richard Hell. He eventually left the band to work on solo projects that never really got off the ground. He also collaborated with others over the years. In late 1991, while in the hospital with bacterial meningitis, Jerry Nolan suffered a stroke and fell into a coma. He was 45 when, several weeks later, he passed away as a result.
