Μέσα από μια ανάρτηση στο Twitter έγινε χθες το βράδυ γνωστός ο θάνατος του τεράστιου Mark Lanegan, σκορπίζοντας θλίψη στον κόσμο της μουσικής.
Η φωνή των grunge icons, Screaming Trees, από το 1985 μέχρι και το 2000, αλλά και ιδιαίτερα δημοφιλής για συνεργασίες του όπως αυτές με τους Queens of the Stone Age, Mad Season, The Gutter Twins και Isobel Campbell, σίγησε για πάντα στα 57 του χρόνια, χωρίς ωστόσο να έχει γίνει γνωστή ως τώρα η αιτία θανάτου του.
Αξίζει ωστόσο να σημειωθεί ότι ο Lanegan είχε δώσει μεγάλη μάχη με τον κορονοϊό το προηγούμενο διάστημα, με τον ίδιο να μένει κωφός και να πέφτει αλλεπάλληλες φορές σε κώμα. Την εμπειρία του κατέγραψε μάλιστα στα απομνημονεύματά του που κυκλοφόρησαν πρόσφατα, με τίτλο Devil in a Coma.
Τα tributes ανθρώπων του καλλιτεχνικού στερεώματος κατακλύζουν από χθες το διαδίκτυο, από μουσικούς όπως ο Peter Hook και οι Manic Street Preachers, μέχρι συγγραφείς σαν τους Ian Rankin και Irvine Welsh.

We lost a brother today. Mark Lanegan was an incredible voice, spirit and talented soul. This was taken at his studio right when I went to say goodbye to him and his wife Shelley before they moved to Europe. We will miss you my friend. pic.twitter.com/YDX05hw8Hl

Hearing about Mark Lanegan passing away has properly stopped me in my tracks. I’m absolutely gutted. Met him on a couple of occasions and I was nervous because I loved him so much. He was a perfect gentleman, really kind. One of THE great singers of the last 30 years. So sad 💔
