It seems Mark Lanegan has died. He was a songwriter of extraordinary talent, and until today I would have unhesitatingly described him as the greatest living male singer.
Google his cover of You Only Live Twice, now, and hear a voice full of wisdom, pain and life. Then look up Do You Wanna Come Walk with Me, a duet with Isobel Campbell. It's a song full of naughty double-entendres that nevertheless manages to be tender, melancholy and sincere.
This is a huge loss.
