See the Last Living Members of The Doors Now, at 77 and 76
- by Lia Beck
BANDMATES JOHN DENSMORE AND ROBBY KRIEGER HAVE BEEN AT LEGAL ODDS WITH EACH OTHER.
The Doors were one of the most important bands of the 1960s and '70s, but their time together was shorter than you might think. The band was only in existence for eight years, with their career coming to a close two years after the tragic passing of lead singer Jim Morrison in 1971. After that, the remaining members continued performing—sometimes together, sometimes solo, and sometimes with other bands. Keyboard player Ray Manzarek died in 2013 at age 74, and today there are only two remaining members ofthe Doors, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore.
Both Krieger and Densmore are still active in music today. And, after a falling out involving a Doors-related lawsuit, they now are back on good terms.
