Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees, whose 1992 hit 'Nearly Lost You' helped drive grunge's commercial breakthrough, died Tuesday at 57.
Mark Lanegan, the gruff-voiced singer and songwriter who led Screaming Trees to fame during the Seattle grunge explosion of the early '90s before going on to play as a member of Queens of the Stone Age and in duos with Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs and Belle & Sebastian’s Isobel Campbell, died Tuesday at his home in Killarney, Ireland. He was 57.
Lanegan was born Nov. 25, 1964, in Ellensburg, Wash., about 100 miles southeast of Seattle. His family came from “a long line of coal miners, loggers, bootleggers, South Dakotan dirt farmers, criminals, convicts and hillbillies of the roughest, most ignorant sort,” as he wrote in his 2020 memoir, “Sing Backwards and Weep.
Even as the band began to take off, Lanegan set out on a solo career beginning with 1990’s “The Winding Sheet,” which featured appearances by Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic. He went on to release a dozen solo records in all; the latest, “Straight Songs of Sorrow,” came out in 2020.Screaming Trees broke up in 2000, but Lanegan never tired of collaborative work.
