Mark William Lanegan (November 25, 1964 – February 22, 2022) was an American singer and songwriter. First becoming prominent as the lead singer for the earlygrunge bandScreaming Trees, he was also known as a member ofQueens of the Stone Age andThe Gutter Twins. He released twelve solo studio albums as well as three collaboration albums withIsobel Campbell and two withDuke Garwood. He was known for hisbaritone voice, which was described as being "as scratchy as a three-day beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather" and has been compared toTom Waits,Leonard Cohen andNick Cave.[4]
Lanegan began his musical career in 1984 in Screaming Trees, with whom he released seven studio albums and five EPs before their disbandment in 2000. During his time with the band, he also began a solo career and released his first solo studio album,The Winding Sheet, in 1990. He then released 10 more solo albums, which received critical recognition but only moderate commercial success. Following the end of Screaming Trees, he became a frequent collaborator of Queens of the Stone Age and was a full-time member between 2001 and 2005 during theSongs for the Deaf andLullabies to Paralyze eras.
Lanegan collaborated with various artists during his career. In the 1990s, he andKurt Cobain recorded an album ofLead Belly covers that was ultimately never released. He also joinedLayne Staley andMike McCready in the bandMad Season,[5] and formed the alternative rock groupThe Gutter Twins withGreg Dulli in 2003, as well as contributing to releases byMoby,Bomb the Bass,Soulsavers,Tinariwen,The Twilight Singers,Manic Street Preachers, andUnkle, among others.
Lanegan struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol throughout his life but had been sober for over a decade at the time of his death. Encouraged by his friendAnthony Bourdain, he released the memoirSing Backwards and Weep in 2020. He followed this up in 2021 with the memoirDevil in a Coma, which focused on his near-death experience withCOVID-19. He and his wife Shelley Brien left the U.S. in 2020 and settled in the Irish town ofKillarney, where he died two years later at the age of 57. No cause of death was revealed.
Mark William Lanegan was born inEllensburg, Washington on November 25, 1964.[6] During an interview withThe Rocket in 1996, he said that he drove acombine harvester when he was younger.[7] He was of Irish, Scottish and Welsh descent.[8][9] He said that he developed analcohol use disorder by age 12[10] and began using drugs heavily by the age of 18, having already been arrested and sentenced to one year's imprisonment for drug-related crimes.[11]

Screaming Trees was formed in late 1984 by Lanegan, guitaristGary Lee Conner, bassistVan Conner, and drummerMark Pickerel.[12] Along withAlice in Chains,Pearl Jam,Soundgarden,Mudhoney,The Melvins, andNirvana, Screaming Trees were part of Seattle's emerginggrunge scene in the early 1990s. Pickerel would later be replaced withBarrett Martin. Lanegan originally joined as the drummer but later said, "I was such a shitty drummer that they made me sing."[13] The band released theOther Worlds EP in 1986; recorded in 1985 and originally available only on cassette tape, the album was re-released on CD and LP bySST Records in 1987.[12] Although the band was being courted by major labels, they signed to Velvetone Records in 1985 and released their debut album,Clairvoyance, in 1986.[12] The album was a combination ofpsychedelic music andhard rock, and bears many similarities to earlygrunge.[12]
In 1987, the band released their second effort, and their first forSST Records,Even If and Especially When.[12] After the release of the album in 1987 the band began working on the American indie circuit, playing shows across the United States.[12] Their follow up albumInvisible Lantern was released in 1988. 1989'sBuzz Factory was the fourth full-length album by Screaming Trees and their final record released through SST.[12]
In 1991, the band released their fifth effort, and their first for a major label.[12]Uncle Anesthesia was released in 1991 and was produced bySoundgarden vocalistChris Cornell.[12]Uncle Anesthesia included the single "Bed of Roses", which gained considerable airtime on alternative rock radio stations. The song peaked at number 23 on theModern Rock Tracks and was the first Screaming Trees release to chart.[14]Barrett Martin replaced previous drummer Pickerel and the new line up recordedSweet Oblivion in 1992.[12]
Sweet Oblivion was the band's breakout album and included the singles "Nearly Lost You", "Dollar Bill", "Shadow of the Season", and "Butterfly". The first two singles gained considerable airtime on alternative rock radio stations, while the video for "Nearly Lost You" became anMTV and alternative radio hit in the fall of 1992, thanks to the momentum ofthe soundtrack of the filmSingles, which features the song. "Nearly Lost You" peaked at number 5 on the Modern Rock Tracks and number 50 in the United Kingdom and was the band's first single to chart outside the United States.[12]Sweet Oblivion sold a total of 300,000 copies in the United States.[12]
After a hiatus brought about by in-fighting and uncertainty over the quality of the music they were recording, the band's final album,Dust, was released in 1996.[13] The album spawned several singles, including "All I Know" and "Dying Days", and peaked at number 134 on theBillboard 200. Reaching number 39 on theCanadian album chart, it was the only Screaming Trees album to chart outside the United States. Despite consistently favorable reviews, the album did not match the commercial success ofSweet Oblivion. Following theDust tour in the United States, Screaming Trees took another hiatus for Lanegan to begin his work on his third solo album,Scraps at Midnight. The band headed back into the studio in 1999 and recorded several demos and shopped them around to labels, but no label was willing to take them on.[12] The band played a few surprise shows in early 2000, and then following a concert to celebrate the opening of Seattle'sExperience Music Project they unexpectedly announced their official breakup.[12]
When asked in 2021 about the '90s grunge movement, Lanegan commented, "It's not something that was contrived or cooked up around the campfire somewhere. It just happened organically. It's hard for me to comment, because there's always great new music and there probably always will be — as long as the sun keeps shining."[15]
In 1990, Lanegan released his first solo album,The Winding Sheet via labelSub Pop. Lanegan had intimated that the album came around following aLeadbelly project he was working on with Mark Pickerel, Kurt Cobain, andKrist Novoselic.[13][16] The project was short lived and eventually other musicians became involved in the evolution to the debut solo record. From the Leadbelly sessions a version of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" appeared onThe Winding Sheet. "Ain't It a Shame" is available on the Nirvana box set,With the Lights Out.[16] Cobain also supplied backing vocals on "Down in the Dark" on Lanegan's debut.[17] The majority of the album was recorded with Pickerel on drums,Mike Johnson on guitar,Steve Fisk on piano and organ, andJack Endino on bass.[16]
His second solo record, 1994'sWhiskey for the Holy Ghost, was a more cohesive recording, with songs "The River Rise", "Kingdoms of Rain", "Riding the Nightingale", and "Beggar's Blues".[16] Taking nearly three years to make, the album came close to not seeing the light of day as Lanegan was set to throw the master tapes in a pond outside of the recording studio, only to be stopped by producerJack Endino at the last moment.[16]
In 1995, Lanegan appeared on the albumAbove by Mad Season. The project was fronted by friendLayne Staley (Alice in Chains) and was formed in late 1994 by Staley,Mike McCready ofPearl Jam,Barrett Martin ofScreaming Trees, andJohn Baker Saunders ofThe Walkabouts. Lanegan co-wrote and sang co-lead on "Long Gone Day" and "I'm Above".[18] Lanegan also appeared on stage at Mad Season's concerts to perform the songs. After Staley's departure from the band, Mad Season began work on a potential second album featuring Lanegan as the primary vocalist. Three of these previously unreleased songs featuring Lanegan were eventually made available on the 2013 deluxe re-release ofAbove.[19]
In 1998,Scraps at Midnight was released. The album was recorded the previous winter atRancho de la Luna inJoshua Tree, California, and produced by long-time friend and collaboratorMike Johnson.[16] and featuredRancho de la Luna ownersFred Drake andDave Catching
Lanegan's fourth studio album was released in 1999. The album began life as B-Sides for singles fromScraps at Midnight (two tracks from the sessions appear on the single "Hotel"). Liking the way the sessions were shaping up, a few more were added and the recording was entitledI'll Take Care of You. The album features covers of songs by prominentfolk,R&B andpunk artists such asTim Hardin,Booker T. and the MGs, andcountry iconBuck Owens, as well as friendJeffrey Lee Pierce of Gun Club.[16] Lanegan stated that Jeffrey Lee Pierce was one of his early musical heroes and got him interested in making music.[20] Also in 1999, Lanegan participated in thetribute album forMoby Grape co-founder,Skip Spence, who was terminally ill.[21] In 2009 Lanegan sang lead vocals on "The Last Time," an A side track onThe Breeders' EPFate to Fatal.[22]
In 2001, he released his fifth studio album,Field Songs. The album featured friendDuff McKagan, as well as major contributions fromSoundgarden's bassist,Ben Shepherd.[23] 2003 saw him appear onGreg Dulli'sThe Twilight Singers recordBlackberry Belle, sharing lead vocal duties on the epic closing track, "Number Nine". This would be the first of many collaborations with Dulli and The Twilight Singers.[24]
Prior to releasing his fourth album, Mark Lanegan released the EPHere Comes That Weird Chill, which included "Methamphetamine Blues" (later to appear onBubblegum) as well as a number of B-sides and rarities (including Captain Beefheart cover "Clear Spot") featuring collaborations with many who would feature onBubblegum, such as Josh Homme, Dean Ween, Nick Oliveri and Chris Goss, as well as (notably) Natasha Shneider, Greg Dulli and Aldo Struyf.
On his next solo album,Bubblegum (2004), Lanegan was joined by a cadre of prominent artists, includingP. J. Harvey,Josh Homme andNick Oliveri ofQueens of the Stone Age,Greg Dulli ofThe Afghan Whigs andTwilight Singers,Dave Catching ofRancho de la Luna,Dean Ween ofWeen, andDuff McKagan andIzzy Stradlin, previously ofGuns N' Roses.[25] Also appearing onBubblegum is Lanegan's ex-wife,Wendy Rae Fowler now inWe Fell to Earth.[26] The favorably reviewed album was his most commercially successful to date, reaching number 39 onBillboard's Top Independent Albums chart.[27] Some would assume this is due to the appearance of several prominent musical figures, although the album did receive glowing review by critics.[26] In 2013, the track "Strange Religion" was used in season 6 of theShowtime television seriesCalifornication.[28]
Lanegan's seventh solo album,Blues Funeral, was released in February 2012.[29]Josh Homme,Dave Catching,Alain Johannes, andMartyn LeNoble contributed to the creation of the album.[30][31] In November 2012 Lanegan self-released a Christmas album titledDark Mark Does Christmas 2012, including aRoky Erickson cover "Burn the Flames". The limited six-track EP had only been available at his concerts.[32]
Released on Heavenly Recordings in 2013, Lanegan released his first collaboration with Duke Garwood entitledBlack Pudding. It featured a largely acoustic guitar-driven sound, not unlike his first solo albums on Sub Pop, as well as long-time solo collaborator Alain Johannes.
Lanegan released a five-track EP entitledNo Bells on Sunday in the United States on July 29, 2014, followed by a European release on August 25. A music video was released on July 15 for "Sad Lover", the third track off the EP. Lanegan's next full-length album,Phantom Radio, was released on October 21, 2014. It was produced by Alain Johannes and has a similar sound aesthetic toBlues Funeral.[33]
Lanegan's second collaborative album with Duke Garwood,With Animals, was released on August 24, 2018. The pair toured Europe in October 2018 to support the release.[34]
Lanegan released three further solo albums between 2017 and 2020 on Heavenly Recordings;Gargoyle in 2017,[35]Somebody's Knocking in April 2019,[36] andStraight Songs of Sorrow in May 2020.[37]
Lanegan's first appearance on aQueens of the Stone Age album was onRated R. He sang the lead vocals on "In the Fade" and background vocals on "Leg of Lamb", "Autopilot", and "I Think I Lost My Headache".Rated R became a commercial success and became the first Queens of the Stone Age album to chart.[38]
Shortly after the release ofField Songs, Lanegan became a full-time member of Queens of the Stone Age. He appeared on the 2002 releaseSongs for the Deaf, singing lead on the tracks "Song for the Dead", "Hangin' Tree", "Song for the Deaf", and "God Is in the Radio". The album became the band's big breakthrough and peaked at number 17 on theBillboard 200 and was certified gold by theRIAA.[39] He also toured in support of the album over the next two years.[40] Lanegan toured full-time as a third vocalist for Queens of the Stone Age in support ofSongs for the Deaf,[40] joining his friendJoshua Homme, who supported the Screaming Trees as their touring guitarist in 1996. The album received twoBest Hard Rock PerformanceGrammy nominations for the singles "No One Knows" (2003)[41] and "Go with the Flow" (2004).[42]
In 2005, Lanegan released his last album with Queens of the Stone Age,Lullabies to Paralyze, where he sang lead vocals on the first track of the album called "This Lullaby". The album was delayed during 2004 because of some changes to the line-up: bassistNick Oliveri was fired and Lanegan went on tour to supportBubblegum.[43] Lanegan would later appear in support of the album.
Lanegan continued to collaborate with Queens of the Stone Age and its members after leaving the band. In 2007, he appeared on their album,Era Vulgaris, contributing background vocals to the track "River in the Road".[44] On August 12, 2010, Lanegan re-joined Queens of The Stone Age on stage at the Nokia Club inLos Angeles, where he sang four encore songs with the band. The concert was put together to raise funds forEagles of Death Metal bassistBrian O'Connor, who was diagnosed with cancer a few months prior to the event.[45] In 2013, Lanegan appeared on their sixth album,...Like Clockwork, co-writing the song "Fairweather Friends" and contributing background vocals to the track "If I Had a Tail".[46]
In April 2004, Lanegan released anEP with formerBelle & Sebastian vocalistIsobel Campbell, titledTime Is Just the Same. They would later release a single entitled "Ramblin' Man" for their collaboration albumBallad of the Broken Seas. Campbell wrote and recorded the majority of the album's tracks inGlasgow, with Lanegan adding vocals in Los Angeles. The record was well received by critics.
In addition to providing vocals, Lanegan also wrote the track "Revolver" with Campbell. The album was nominated for the 2006Mercury Prize.[47] Lanegan and Campbell played four UK concerts in January 2007, with the London date being moved to a larger venue as a result of high demand for tickets. When making the decision to make a follow-up toBallad of the Broken Seas, Campbell reflected:
It was because he kinda disappeared for a year but in my heart I wanted to do another one because as soon as we'd finishedBallad of the Broken Seas I was writing new songs and I was like; "Oh God, I've got to get Mark to sing these."[48]
After a concert with Lanegan in January 2007, Campbell asked Lanegan if he would consider making a new album, Lanegan replied: "in a heartbeat". This time Lanegan flew toGlasgow to record the new album at the end of March for nine days to record the songs Campbell had written. After working with Lanegan, Campbell remarked: "It is his classic, effortless American voice that I love". She added "I think I was playing about with that a lot so there's a few of what Mark would call raunchy songs and a few ballads too".[49] The album,Sunday at Devil Dirt, was released on May 5, 2008, with the track "Who Built the Road" being the only single released from it.[50]
A third collaborative album with Campbell was released on August 16, 2010, entitledHawk. The pair toured to promote the album, including a set atAll Tomorrow's Parties, December 10–12, 2010 (Bowlie 2) curated byBelle & Sebastian and shows in Australia in 2011.[51] By the end of the tour the duo had ceased to function and each went their separate ways.[52]

The album was a big hit and Blast Magazine's Liz Raftery ended up praising the album calling it "an audial descent into the dark emotions that often lurk beneath the surface."[55] The album's highest position was at number 7 in Belgium. The album also peaked at number 117 on theBillboard 200. It meant thatSaturnalia was the first album sinceScreaming Trees'Dust that had charted on the Billboard 200 with Lanegan as a permanent band member.[27][56] On September 2, 2008, The Gutter Twins released an EP calledAdorata exclusively on iTunes. Adorata contains eight tracks, most of them are covers, but also two Gutter Twins songs that never made it to the album.[57]

"Revival" and "Kingdoms of Rain" were released as singles from the album.[60] Soulsavers recorded the tracks in England in 2005 and 2006, with Lanegan recording the vocal parts at Conway Studios in Los Angeles.[60]
In 2009, Soulsavers again enlisted Lanegan with him contributing vocals for several tracks on their third studio albumBroken.[61] This led to a significant run of touring in support of the album, beginning on September 6, inPortland, Oregon.[62] Following the tour of the United States, Lanegan continued to perform with them throughout their extensive run of European shows. These varied between headline gigs and slots in support ofDepeche Mode.[63] Having completed touring duties for Soulsavers, Lanegan announced a solo European tour.

He has one of the best and most distinctive voices of the last 25 years. Now that we live near each other it ended up being really easy working on a song together."The Lonely Night also appeared on Moby's albumInnocents.[72]
In 2013, Lanegan teamed up with Seattle producerMartin Feveyear, to work on a covers record,Imitations.[73] Prior to its release, Lanegan had only issued one previous record of covers, 1999'sI'll Take Care of You.[74] OnImitations, Lanegan offers contemporary songs, standards, and obscure numbers that, according to him, reveal the effect his parents' record collection had on him.
