Friday night, the NYPD clarified the mystery of whether rocker Eddie Money was a cop, as he sometimes said: he was not.
But the rocker was, briefly, a trainee, said a police spokesperson about Money, who died Friday in Los Angeles at the age of 70.
"Eddie Money served as an intern at the police," said Sgt. Mary Frances O'Donnell told The Post. "He has never been appointed a police officer. The NYPD extends its condolences to his family. "
Over the years, the rocker, who was born Edward Mahoney in Brooklyn, has sometimes claimed in interviews that his first career was as an NYPD detective in the late '60s or early' 70s – but he also claimed a training abandonment.
His official website states that he served for two years as a New York Police Officer before becoming a great rock 'n roll player.
"I'm proud of the fact that I've served in the police department," he said in an interview with rock historian John Beaudin, published on Rockhistorymusic.com.
He did, however, give other accounts.
"I was on the waiting list to go to the Police Academy," he told The Tolucan Times in Los Angeles last year.
"But I did not see myself in a police uniform for 20 years of my life, with short hair," he joked.
