Background information Birth name: Jeffrey Ross Hyman Born: May 19, 1951(1951-05-19) Queens, New York, U.S. Died: April 15, 2001 (aged 49) New York City, New York, U.S. Joey grew up in Forest Hills, Queens in a Jewish family. He and his future bandmates attended Forest Hills High School. During his youth, he was by ge...neral accounts something of an outcast and had a dysfunctional family life, which inspired the song "We're A Happy Family." His parents divorced in the early 1960s. His mother, Charlotte Lesher (1926-2007), encouraged an interest in music in both him and his brother Mitchell (a.k.a. Mickey Leigh). He was a fan of The Beatles,The Who, and The Stooges among other bands (particularly oldies and the Phil Spector-produced "girl groups"). His hero was Pete Townshend of The Who. He took up drums at 13, playing throughout his teen years. Rock & roll gave the teenaged Joey Ramone an escape from his parents' divorce and he began playing in glam-influenced bands in the early '70s. He co-founded the Ramones in 1974 with friends John Cummings and Douglas Colvin, upon which point all three adopted Ramone as their stage surname. switch to vocals and Tommy take over on drums.
