Greg Kihn, founder of the Greg Kihn Band, died Tuesday at the age of 75 after a battle with Alzheimer’s, his publicist announced Thursday.

In the 1990s Kihn began writing horror fiction novels, while also working as a morning radio disc jockey for KUFX, a classic rock station in the Bay Area, from 1996 to 2012.
