Joan Rivers Dead at 81 – Rockers React

The comedy legend was taken to a New York City hospital last week after she lost consciousness at her doctor's office while undergoing a procedure on her vocal cords. She was then put in a medically induced coma. Earlier this week, it was announced she was on life support and moved to intensive care.
