Ray Manzarek -- who co-founded "The Doors" with Jim Morrison in 1965
and played keyboard -- has died, this according to the band's official
Facebook page.

Manzarek was 74.

According to the website, Manzarek passed away today at the RoMed
Clinic in Rosenheim, Germany after a lengthy battle with bile duct
cancer.

At the time of his death, Ray was surrounded by his wife Dorothy and
his brothers Rick and James.

Along with Jim ... Ray and The Doors churned out some of the most
iconic rock songs in history -- including, "L.A. Woman," "Break On
Through to the Other Side," "The End," "Hello, I Love You," and "Light
My Fire."

Doors' guitarist Robby Krieger released a statement saying, "I was
deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my friend and bandmate
Ray Manzarek."

He added, "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."

According to the band's official Facebook page ... Ray's family has
asked that in lieu of flowers, fans should make an in memoriam
donation in Ray's name to Standup2cancer.org.

up.

When one writes something like Light My Fire and Riders on the
Storm, then, for all practical --selfish-- purposes, one is immortal.

Then imagine Zappa's immortality.
