”That voice tears right through you, his sheer force on stage absolutely humbling. A greatness, Mark, a greatness — a true singer, a superb writer and beautiful soul, loved by all.”
”I hope your final journey after arduous battle was kind and graceful enough, Old Scratch. And I pray grieving loved ones left behind in time are soothed and heal. I will for ever cherish your memory in my heart.”
Kurt's Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic and Lanegan's Screaming Trees bandmate Mark Pickerel played on the cover as well, which was recorded four years before Nirvana popularized the song on 'MTV Unplugged.'
John Cale, Peter Hook, Warren Ellis, Moby, Laura Jane Grace, Perfume Genius, Ride's Andy Bell, Sleaford Mods, and more have also paid tribute to Lanegan, who died earlier today.
