NEW YORK (Billboard) - New York Dolls bassist Arthur Kane died 
Tuesday night
in Los Angeles due to complications from leukemia, the 
pioneering '70s glam
rock group's manager told Billboard.com. Kane was 55.

The reunited Dolls were fresh off a well-received appearance at 
Morrissey's
Meltdown Festival in London last month and had also opened some of
Morrissey's concerts in May in New York. It is unclear if the David
Johansen-led group will still perform next month at Little Steven's
International Underground Garage Festival in New York.

The Dolls are scheduled to release an album for Morrissey's Attack 
imprint
in September, but no details have been revealed. Johansen is 
understood to
be in Paris and is preparing a statement on the group's future.

Kane is the fourth member of the Dolls to pass away, including 
guitarist
Johnny Thunders, who died of a drug overdose in 1991.
