Rest in Peace, Mark Lanegan (1964-2022)

Posted on February 25, 2022 by tundranaut

Nick Cave has a nice tribute to Mark Lanegan at the Red Hand Files:

As a frontman, I move around a lot on stage, I can’t help it, it is a habitual nervous thing, a kind of neurotic compensation for a voice I have never felt that comfortable with. But watch Mark, watch how he walks onto the stage, plants himself at the mic stand, one tattooed fist halfway down the stand, the other resting on top of the mic, immobile, massive, male. When the time comes to sing, he simply opens his mouth and releases a blues, a blues lived deeply and utterly earned, and that voice tears right through you, his sheer force on stage absolutely humbling. A greatness, Mark, a greatness β€” a true singer, a superb writer and beautiful soul, loved by all.

Love Nick
