Ugh, this one f***ing sucks

Screaming Trees we’re amazing in their own way but his solo work was something else entirely not to mention his vocals were perfect for the queens of the Stone Age tracks he was on

Hands down my favourite singer and a fantastic songwriter. This one stings but I'm glad I went out of my way to see him live several times over the years. Got to briefly chat with him a couple times too when he started doing signing sessions after his shows, very nice and humble fellow. He'll be missed.

I'd be a lot more upset had I never got a chance to hear this live

Having discovered Screaming Trees earlier than I did would've meant listening to much better music.

RIP

Oh no, what a presence he was

He had a terrible case of Covid last year, was put into a coma and spent weeks in the hospital

Underrated contributor to the industry. RIP.

This one really sucks. I've seen QOTSA half a dozen times over the years. Once with Lanegan. And I always hoped he'd tour with them again.

He had such a unique voice.

RIP.

Dammit, all the artists that I listened to growing up are dying.

I'm surprised there hasn't been much posthumously released material yet considering he seemed to be constantly recording his own stuff or collaborating with others. I'm certain there's quite a bit of material that will see the light of day eventually

I know of him from this:
