Mark Lanegan, the singer whose raspy baritone and darkly poetic songwriting made Screaming Trees an essential part of the early Seattle grunge scene and brought him an acclaimed solo career, died Tuesday at age 57.
"Our beloved friend Mark Lanegan passed away this morning at his home in Killarney, Ireland," said a post on Lanegan's Twitter account, which called him "a beloved singer, songwriter, author and musician." Management company SKH confirmed the death for the New York Times.
No cause of death was given. In a memoir released last year, Lanegan said a severe case of COVID-19 left him hospitalized in a coma.
