According to court filings first reported by Billboard, Linda Cummings-Ramone—the widow of guitarist Johnny Ramone—has bought out Mitchel Hyman (better known as Mickey Leigh), Joey Ramone’s brother, ending the 50/50 stalemate that kept the band’s business locked in dispute. Reports say the transfer was tied to a binding term-sheet agreement dated Nov. 18, 2025.

When ownership is split, even routine decisions can turn into months of meetings, vetoes and filings over approving a documentary clip, signing off on a compilation track list, okaying a merch design, or licensing Blitzkrieg Bop for an anniversary TV spot. With one party in control, those decisions can move faster, and outside partners may be more willing to commit to money and timelines without worrying a deal gets scrapped at the eleventh hour.
For punk die-hards, it has to be something of a relief: as 'Hey ho, let’s go' turns 50, the behind-the-scenes power struggle that’s dogged the Ramones’ legacy appears to be coming to an end. The settlement leaves the band's history intact while clarifying who gets to steer the next chapter, from anniversary reissues to whether Hollywood finally gets a green light.
