RIP Mark Lanegan

[Ebo]

Lived and died in Ireland with Welsh roots. Even if you were never fan, his books are well worth a look

I only discovered his stuff during lockdown, though I'd unknowingly heard him on some Chilli Peppers songs. Over the course of so many evenings I've locked myself away with beers and played a bit of rip-roaring Lanegan, or watched some of his concert footage on YouTube and wondered if some festival crowds realised they were in the presence of greatness.

He was a proper, hardcore, cool as they come frontman. He wrote some decent music too. And that unbelievable voice - so delightfully gravelly. Listening to him was like being given the world's best back scratch. Damn, I'm gutted he's gone.

I mentioned several years ago on Planetswans about the album Above by the supergroup Mad Season.
This is Mark on vocals. RIP.

He always seemed to be slightly ahead of the curve and never really got the recognition that those that followed got. It felt as if he’d been around forever.

RIP

Yeah, that's very well put. He seems to have been the greatest rock star that people hadn't heard of.

Was lucky enough to see him many times and meet him the once, that voice gave soul to anything it touched. RIP.
