The Cars Lead Singer Ric Ocasek Dies
(New York, NY) — The lead singer of the rock band the Cars is dead. Ric Ocasek was found dead at his home in New York Sunday. He was 75. Ocasek and the Cars were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just last year. The Rock Hall praised the group as “hook-savvy with the perfect combo of new wave and classic rock.” The band gained fame with their first album, The Cars, which sold some six million copies and stayed on the Billboard 200 chart for 139 weeks. The Cars broke up in 1988, but reunited to release the album Move Like This in 2011. Ocasek also had a successful solo career, releasing seven solo works in the 80s, 90s and 2000s.
