Walter Lure,
Such was their lifestyle, it was an achievement to get out of the Heartbreakers alive. A volatile combination of strong personalities, sporadic creative brilliance and heavy drug use, theirs was not a band destined for a long and drawn-out life; still, as New York glam lurched on the cusp of punk in 1975, they were definitive. Unlike colleagues such as Johnny Thunders (died 1991) and drummer Jerry Nolan (1992), Walter Lure hasn't only survived, he's prospered. A Wall Street stockbroker, Lure's bonus to himself is to still play music, which he does in a fair estimation of the Heartbreakers style, and to help curate their legacy, as he has with a recent authoritative reissue of their poorly mastered debut, LAMF.LAMF RIP
