Eddie Money, who left behind a career as a New York police officer to become one of the top-selling rock stars of the 1970s and '80s, with hits like 'Two Tickets to Paradise' and 'Take Me Home Tonight,' has died. He was 70.

Publicist Cindy Ronzoni provided a statement from the family and said Money died Friday morning in Los Angeles. Money recently announced that he had advanced cancer.

In 1987, the husky-voiced, blue collar performer received a best rock vocal Grammy nomination for 'Take Me Home Tonight,' which featured a cameo from Ronnie Spector.

'It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our loving husband and father,' the statement said. 'It's so hard to imagine our world without him. However, he will live on forever through his music.'

He announced his cancer diagnosis via a video last month from his AXS TV reality series 'Real Money.' In the video, Money said he learned he had cancer after what he thought was a routine checkup. He said the disease had spread to his liver and lymph nodes.

Money said it hit him 'really, really hard.'

He had numerous health problems recently, including heart valve surgery earlier this year and pneumonia after the procedure, leading to the cancellation of a planned summer tour.

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora tweeted 'God Bless Eddie Money,' while Debbie Gibson called him a 'true legend.'

Comedian Kevin James posted on his Instagram account a picture of Money when he appeared on his TV series 'King of Queens,' and wrote, 'Gonna miss you, pal. May God grant you peace. Thank you for your incredible talent and kind heart! You and your family remain in my prayers.'

The New York City native was born Edward Joseph Mahoney. He up in a family of police officers and served two years as a New York City police officer before he decided to be a singer, according to his website.

'I grew up with respect for the idea of preserving law and order, and then all of a sudden cops became pigs and it broke my heart,' Money told Rolling Stone in 1978.

'Two Tickets to Paradise' and 'Baby Hold On' both reached the top 30 in the late 1970s and his self-titled debut album went platinum. In the 'Take Me Home Tonight' cameo, Spector reprised one of her signature hits from the 1960s as she crooned 'Be my little baby,' which she first sang on the Ronettes' 'Be My Baby.' Money remembered calling Spector, still traumatized from her years with ex-husband-producer Phil Spector, and convincing her to sing on his record.

'I said, 'Ronnie, I got this song that's truly amazing and it's a tribute to you. It would be so great if you came out and did it with me,'' he told hippopress.com in 2015. 'When she got there, she didn't even remember it; she had a mental block against (Phil) Spector. But then she came out and did the song.'

Money's other hits included 'Maybe I'm a Fool,' 'Walk On Water' and 'Think I'm in Love.' He had few successes after the 1980s, but continued to tour and record, and for decades would open the summer concert season at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan.

Meanwhile, 'Two Tickets to Paradise' became a favorite on classic rock radio stations and was heard everywhere from 'The Simpsons' to 'The Office.' The song was also featured in a Geico commercial, with Money himself appearing in the ad as the hammy owner of a travel agency.

For years, he lived too much like a rock star. In 1980, he sustained nerve damage in his legs after overdosing on alcohol and barbiturates, a near-tragedy he wrote about on his hit 1982 album 'No Control.' He continued to struggle with alcohol addiction before joining a 12-step program in 2001. 'I came to the realization that I didn't really need (alcohol) for my quick wit,' he told CNN in 2003.

Money did manage the rare rock achievement of a long-term marriage, more than 30 years to Laurie Harris, who would say that at first she confused him with John Mellencamp. The Moneys had five children, Zachary, Jessica, Joseph, Desmond, and Julian.

A born troublemaker, he was thrown out of one high school for forging his report card. He later moved to Berkeley, California, changed his name to 'Money' and had enough success in the Bay Area clubs, even performing for a time with Janis Joplin's former backing group, to attract the attention of famed rock promoter Bill Graham. Money was signed by Columbia Records and by the end of the decade was a big enough act to open for the Rolling Stones, although the job did not last as long as expected.

'I had a hit with 'Two Tickets' and everybody loved me; I was getting too many encores,' Money told hippopress.com. 'We were supposed to have six dates (with the Stones), and we only worked four. The way I see it is this ― if you're gonna get fired from a Rolling Stones tour, get fired for being too good.'

A representative for AXS TV said the final five episodes of his series would air on Thursdays. The channel will also air a tribute to Money on Sunday, including a concert and an interview with Dan Rather on his show 'The Big Interview.' (AP)

Rocker Eddie Money’s family is suing the University of Southern California’s Keck Hospital for medical malpractice and wrongful death, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Money, whose real name Edward J. Mahoney, died at the age of 70 Sept. 13, 2019. He’s best known for his hit songs “Two Tickets To Paradise,” “Baby Hold On,” “Think I’m in Love” and “Take Me Home Tonight.” Prior to his death, Money had been diagnosed and was being treated for stage 4 esophageal cancer.

Money’s family, listed as his heirs to his estate, include his wife Laurie Harris Mahoney and his children Jessica, Zachary, Edward, Desmond and Matthew, filed this 11-page complaint alleging that doctors and medical personnel at USC’s Keck Hospital failed to properly diagnose and treat his condition.

Money’s family alleges that from June 4 to Sept. 13, 2019, he was being treated at the hospital for a cardiac status and other conditions. The staff at the hospital “negligently, recklessly and carelessly examined, diagnosed” the singer’s condition, according to the filing, contributing to his “untimely and unnecessary death.” Among other things, the complaint alleges the hospital staff failed to evaluate, recognize and treat “the fluid aspiration and pneumonia” conditions that made his subsequent surgery inadvisable.

After being released from the hospital, Money’s family says his condition worsened and he suffered from persistent infection and fevers and ultimately had to be readmitted to the hospital’s cancer center. The suit is seeking loss of earnings, medical expenses and other special damages.
