Mark Lanegan, who followed a long stint as lead vocalist for the proto-grunge band Screaming Trees with a distinguished career as an impassioned solo singer-songwriter and adventurous collaborator with Queens of the Stone Age and others, has died.
A cause of death was not announced, although last year he was said to be suffering from Covid-19 and kidney disease; he was 57. "Our beloved friend Mark Lanegan passed away this morning at his home in Killarney, Ireland," reads a statement on his Twitter account. "A beloved singer, songwriter, author and musician he was 57 and is survived by his wife Shelley.
No other information is available at this time.The family asks everyone to respect their privacy at this time." Sometimes recording under the nickname "Dark Mark," Lanegan lived up to his sobriquet, in his work focusing on what he termed continuing themes of "loss, longing, mortality and chemical dependence" in original songs couched in music that alternated between loud, unfettered power and a hushed lyricism.
