Tim Mohr, Journalist And Author Who Worked With Duff McKagan And Paul Stanley, Dead At 55

Tim Mohr, the renowned journalist, author, and translator known for collaborations with rock legends like Duff McKagan and Paul Stanley, died on Monday (March 31), at the age of 55. Mohr passed away as a result of pancreatic cancer at his Brooklyn home. His career spanned from being a club DJ in Berlin to writing for publications like New York, The New York Times Book Review, and Details, and he was a staff editor for Playboy. Mohr made a significant impact on punk history with his landmark 2018 book, Burning Down the Haus. “Tim was mainly responsible for guiding me and pushing me to write my first book, ‘It’s So Easy (and other lies),’” McKagan says. “I am forever grateful for his guidance. We lost a good man and a literary lion.” Mohr worked alongside Stanley on his 2014 memoir, Face the Music, and the KISS frontman paid tribute to him on X: “Tim Mohr-My dear friend, literary collaborator, pure soul, brilliant mind, street food gourmet and so much more has died from pancreatic cancer. I’m heartbroken. If you knew him you loved him. The world has lost a bright light.” (Rolling Stone)
