"After a long fight with bile duct cancer, 74-year-old keyboardist Ray Manzarek of The Doors died Monday at RoMed Clinic in Germany, the rock band's Facebook and Twitter pages announced. His wife, Dorothy, and brothers were beside Manzarek (pictured left).\n\"I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my friend and bandmate Ray Manzarek today,\" guitarist Robby Krieger (pictured right) said in a statement. \"I'm just glad to have been able to have played Doors songs with him for the last decade. Ray was a huge part of my life and I will always miss him.\"\n\nToday's a sad day for rock 'n roll souls. We lost an exceptional talent who used to make magic with the keyboard. #RipRayManzarek @thedoors\n\u2014 Nury Robin (@NuryHill) May 20, 2013\n\n\nFACT: when i was 16, i lived and breathed @thedoors for 6 months. every book, album, film clip, documentary i could find. this is a sad day.\n\u2014Daylon Studdard \u2623 (@DaylonStuddard) May 20, 2013\n\nThe Doors, whose lead singer Jim Morrison died in 1971, are retweeting people who are sharing their 140-characters-or-less condolences and stories. Fans, like clockwork, also headed to YouTube to watch videos of The Doors and leave comments. \n\"Ray And Jim\uFEFF are in heaven making some pure music again,\" one YouTuber wrote under this video of the band's 1968 \"Touch Me\" performance.\n\nThe Doors' statement, in lieu of flowers, encourages people to make donations in Manzarek's name to StandUp2Cancer.org.\nImage via Kevin Winter/Getty Images\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
