The Monkees

Musicians have shared their condolences for the loss of original Monkees member.

He emerged from their pre-fab beginnings to become a musical pioneer in his own right.

Surviving members Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith gave their final Monkees performance on Nov. 14 in Los Angeles.

Playing songs Michael Nesmith wrote inspired bandmate Micky Dolenz to complete long-imagined tribute project.

He thought "theatrical" nature of psychedelic band would be a good match.

"I don’t always want to be the center of attention when I walk into a room. Sometimes I just want to be quiet, and I want to listen."

Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith promise "a magical night of music: all the hits, deep cuts and fan favorites."

Twenty years after its debut, the group got a fresh start.

As the group grew more confident, its relationship with the producer inevitably deteriorated.
