Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors announce plans to re-form with The Cult lead singer Ian Astbury and The Police drummer Stewart Copeland. They initially tour as "The Doors of the 21st Century," but a lawsuit by original drummer John Densmore (who declined to tour citing hearing loss) forces them to stop using the "Doors" moniker. They change their name to "Riders on the Storm" as a result of the litigation.

The parents of the late Doors frontman, Jim Morrison, sue the remaining members for touring with a new singer as "The Doors 21st Century" using the band's image and logo.

Ray Manzarek (keyboardist for The Doors) dies at age 74 in Rosenheim, Germany, while receiving treatment for a rare form of cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma or bile duct cancer).
