To keep Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone’s legacy alive, his widow, Linda Ramone, hosts an annual tribute at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. The event always includes a slew of big-name rock stars and celebrities, special acoustic performances and a film screening.

This year’s tribute takes place on Sunday, Aug. 11 and celebrates the 40th anniversary of the 1979 classic “The Warriors,” with a screening on the Fairbanks Lawn. There will also be a special photo exhibition curated by Mr. Musichead featuring iconic punk, glitter rock and rock ‘n’ roll photos on display in the mausoleum.

Sex Pistols guitarist and host of KLOS 95.5/FM’s “Jonesy’s Jukebox” Steve Jones, musician, actor and former “Saturday Night Live” star Fred Armison and other special guests are scheduled to appear. Fans will be treated to never-before-seen films by Vincent Gallo and rare archival footage of Johnny Ramone. DJ Howie Pyro will entertain in between screenings and guest appearances.

Ramone was a founding member of the pioneering punk rock quartet from New York and often listed as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He died in 2004 at his home in Los Angeles the age of 55 of prostate cancer.

“Johnny Ramone, leader, legend and collector,” Linda Ramone said via a press release. “To sit and watch the cult classic film ‘The Warriors’ with thousands of people right by Johnny’s statute under the stars of Hollywood Forever, I know he’s smiling. That’s what makes the Johnny Ramone Tribute the best thing ever. Gabba Gabba hey, one of us.”

Past events have included screenings of “Night of the Living Dead,” “Rock n Roll High School,” “Cry Baby,” “Bride of Frankenstein” and the 1932 cult classic, “Freaks.” Famous faces such as Johnny Depp, Nicholas Cage, Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley, John Waters, Moby, Billy Idol, Eddie Vedder and the late Chris Cornell have all participated in the yearly tribute and benefit, with proceeds going to Dr. David Agus at the Center for Applied Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at USC for cancer research.
