Mark Lanegan

Lanegan sang for Screaming Trees, then with Queens of the Stone Age, Mad Season and repeatedly with Isobel Campbell, in a voice that got lower and rougher as the decades went on. Sing Backwards and Weep covers the Seattle years without any of the affection those memoirs usually carry: addiction, dealing, homelessness and friends who died, set down plainly and with no interest in being forgiven for any of it. Devil in a Coma is about nearly dying of covid in 2021. He died in Ireland in 2022.
