R.I.P. Doug Fieger

Doug Fieger, lead singer of rock group the Knack, died at 57 after a battle with cancer, his brother Geoffrey confirmed today. "I’ve had 10 great lives'" Fieger told the Detroit News in a January interview. "And I expect to have some more. I don’t feel cheated in any way, shape or form." Get the Knack, the album that featured 'My Sharona," spent six weeks at No. 1 in 1979. The hit single was perhaps best immortalized (or at least revitalized) via a hilarious impromptu gas station dance party in 1994's Reality Bites. "Can you turn this up please? Please? You won’t be sorry."
