Born to a Jewish family, Joey was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia at age 18. After previously playing in the glam punk band Sniper from 1972 to 1974, Joey cofounded the Ramones with Johnny Ramone and Dee Dee Ramone in 1974. Initially the band's drummer, Joey soon switched to lead vocals shortly after the group's formation. Appearing on all the band's releases, he, along with guitarist Johnny Ramone, were the only two original members who stayed in the band until the disbandment in 1996.
Following the Ramones' disbandment, he embarked on a solo career before dying of lymphoma in 2001. His debut solo album ''Don't Worry About Me'' was released the following year. Provided by Wikipedia
