Alice Cooper, Duff McKagan, Slash, Sebastian Bach, Joan Jett, Blondie’s Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, and many other rockers took to social media to pay tribute to New York punk style icon Jimmy Webb, who passed away Tuesday (April 15) at the age of 62. Webb’s friend Heart Montalbano confirmed his death to Rolling Stone, adding that the cause of death was cancer.
Jimmy Webb was the iconic manager and buyer from famed New York clothing store Trash And Vaudeville who later opened his own shop named I Need More. While not a musician himself, Webb counted rock royalty like Iggy Pop, Duff McKagan, Joan Jett and Debbie Harry as customers and friends.

Jimmy Webb was a great friend of mine. I bought every pair of Cuban heeled boots that I wore from 1987 - 2011 at Trash & Vaudeville from Jimmy. Rest in peace brother we will miss you. You came from the time of true rock and roll 👢❤ https://t.co/WYSPy77GAO

End of (another) era. Jimmy was a St Marks fixture along with his beloved Trash & Vaudeville. When Trash closed he held on because HE NEEDED MORE..and we were all grateful for his die hard integrity. Jimmy you will be missed by many. #RIP #jimmywebb #ineedmore #trashandvaudeville pic.twitter.com/Q45yfZLtv8
