The Doors have announced a new concert documentary to honour the legacy of the band’s late keyboardist Ray Manzarek called, The Doors: Break on Thru – A Celebration of Ray Manzarek. The film will premiere in theatres around the world in a one-night-only event on February 12th, which would have been Manzarek’s birthday. Tickets and cinema listings are available at TheDoorsFilm.com.

The “all-star hybrid concert/documentary”  was filmed at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, California, in 2016 and will feature surviving Doors members Robby Krieger and John Densmore who will appear on stage together for the first time in 15 years … alongside performances from Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins and Rami Jaffee, Stone Temple Pilots’ Robert DeLeo, Paul McCartney guitarist Brian Ray, X’s Exene and John Doe, Jane’s Addiction’s Stephen Perkins, Gov’t Mule’s Warren Haynes and more.

“It was such an honor to play with these world-class musicians in a tribute to our magical keyboard player,” John Densmore said in a statement.

Performances within the film will highlight some of The Doors’ classic songs … including a special encore performance of “Light My Fire” … and will be cut with compelling behind-the-scenes footage and interviews that pay homage to Manzarek, who passed away from cancer in 2013. Proceeds from the L.A. concert were donated to ‘Stand Up to Cancer’ in Manzarek’s honour.

The Doors: Break on Thru - A Celebration of Ray Manzarek will be screened in cinemas around the world on February 12, 2020. Participating theatres and tickets can be found at www.TheDoorsFilm.com
