Like all Rock “musicians,” I first hear of him the day he overdoses, shoots himself, is shot by somebody else, is killed while driving drunk or stoned, or dies of old age.
I have. He’s one of my favorite musicians. Terrible news.
Rest in peace, Mark.
Linkous’ dramatic, lush music often came from a place of pain. In 1996, Linkous actually died for two minutes after ingesting a dangerous mix of Valium and antidepressants while on tour in the U.K. behind Sparklehorse’s 1995 debut Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot. He recovered, but the incident left him crippled — he laid unconscious for 14 hours, cutting off circulation to his legs. He suffered a heart attack when medics attempted to straighten his legs, and underwent seven surgeries to save his damaged limbs.
Why you never heard of the deceased.
