David Johansen, the frontman for proto-punk band New York Dolls and actor known for his work in the Bill Murray classic “Scrooged,” has died.

Johansen died Friday at his New York home … his death was confirmed by his stepdaughter, Leah Hennessey to multiple outlets.

The iconic rocker with a deep, gravelly voice announced last month he was suffering from stage four cancer, a brain tumor and a broken back — although his cause of death has not been announced.

Then in 2004, New York Dolls reunited … with Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain and Arthur Kane releasing three albums and touring.

Johansen dabbled in acting … and is best known for playing the Ghost of Christmas Past in the ’80s holiday classic “Scrooged.”

David is survived by his wife, Mara Hennessey, and his stepdaughter, Leah.

He was 75.

Gene Hackman shockingly does not have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for fans to grieve their loss … but there is a restaurant in New Mexico where some are paying their respects to the legend.

Doug Lanham, a close friend and former business partner, tells TMZ … fans have begun dropping off notes and flowers to his Santa Fe restaurant Jinja Bar & Bistro … which was co-owned by Hackman for several years after he walked away from Hollywood a two-time Oscar winner and film icon.

In addition to being regarded as one of the best actors to ever grace the silver screen … Hackman was also a prolific painter — and did nearly all the amazing work that hangs from Jinja’s walls.

As we previously reported … despite leaving the restaurant industry, Doug says Gene would often come by for a meal — and usually pick up the tab for customers.

Doug remembers Gene as a jokester who would play silly little tricks on him … like putting his finger to Doug’s back and telling him to “reach for the stars” — pretty hilarious given Gene won an Oscar for the western flick, “Unforgiven.”

Gene and his wife Betsy were found dead in their home Wednesday — and an investigation into just what happened is ongoing. Santa Fe authorities said on Friday Gene’s pacemaker showed its last event was on February 17 … making investigators believe that’s when he died.

Gene was 95 … Betsy was 65.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seems to have done some breathing exercises and cooled off after a heated exchange with President Trump in the Oval Office on Friday — a headline-making moment around the globe.

In a lengthy message posted to social media on Saturday morning … Zelensky acknowledged that lasting peace in Eastern Europe would be “difficult” without U.S. support … and he gave props for America’s help during Russia’s three-year invasion of his country.

The message had a vastly different feel and tone from the blowup the two world leaders had in the White House … which was live around the globe.

Trump basically went off on Zelensky after a bilateral meeting became a total trainwreck in minutes … all the while Vice President Vance needled Zelensky about not being grateful to the U.S. for all the country has provided during the war.

Zelensky meanwhile stood his ground … defending his military and citizens, saying the U.S. has not directly experienced the consequences of the war — a rebuttal that really pissed off the president.

Trump sternly replied … “You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards” adding that Zelensky is “gambling with the lives of millions of people, you’re gambling with World War III … and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, that’s backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have.”

In the end … Trump kicked Zelensky outta the White House and a presser that was supposed to happen afterward was obviously canned.
