Ramones drummer Marky Ramone bid farewell to original Ramones drummer Tommy Ramone today on Twitter. Tommy (Erdelyi) Ramone, the last surviving original member of the influential punk band, passed away of cancer Friday at the age of 65.
Several fans noted that in its coverage, AOL mistakenly used a photo of the very much alive Marky.

@AOL Thought you should know the picture of "Tommy Ramone" on AOL's main page is actually Marky.
