Mark Lanegan, a pioneering vocalist of Seattle's grunge music scene known for helming Screaming Trees, has died, his family and friends confirmed on his verified Twitter account. He was 57.Though he often downplayed his contributions to indie rock, the gravelly voiced performer helped usher in a new era for the genre that saw many of his collaborators soar to international fame.
Lanegan wrote about his friendship with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in his 2020 memoir,"Sing Backwards and Weep." Like Cobain, Lanegan was a habitual drug user. It wasn't until after Cobain's death, with prodding from Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, that he eventually went to rehab in the late '90s and again in the aughts, he wrote in his memoir.
In August 2020, mid-pandemic, Lanegan moved to Ireland with his wife, Shelley Brien. The stay was meant to be temporary, he told Spin last year, but the"physical beauty" of the area convinced him to stay.
