The guitarist with pioneering punk rock band the Ramones is fighting a losing a battle with cancer in a Los Angeles hospital, Rolling Stone magazine reported on its Web site on Tuesday.

Johnny Ramone, 55, whose real name is John Cummings, was diagnosed with prostate cancer four years ago, and it has now spread throughout his body, Rollingstone.com quoted the band's drummer, Marky Ramone, as saying.

"Johnny's been a champ in confronting this, but at this point I think the chances are slim," Marky Ramone said in the report. "John never smoked cigarettes, he wasn't a heavy drinker and he was always into his health. It just proves when cancer seeks a body to penetrate, it doesn't matter how healthy you are or how unhealthy you are. It just seeps in and there's nothing you can do."

First Joey, then Dee Dee, now Johnny?

When the Ramones are dying off at this rate, you know you're getting old.

They have been dying off like flies. Hate to see that too. Ramones will always be the best IMO.

Cancer is such a deadly thing.

Marky's practically begging for something bad to happen. He's playing with the Misfits and half their songs are about dead chicks and graves.

But maybe the bad luck won't affect him because they're not the real Misfits anymore.
