Sweet Eddie, we feel you. Mark Lanegan is such a great loss, for sure. Rest in peace.😭💔

[@seltonk5136]

Best performers were mark lanegan, ChewbaccaMom and capt Sullenbergur and also grunge rock

Hugs Eddie! Absolutely, going to miss his voice, he seemed to be getting even better with age. Cheers to you for your words tonight!

Eddie has lost a lot of friends in the music business. I could hear how sad he was in his voice. I know I was very sad hearing the new. I loved Mark! May you rest in peace. Such a sad day in music.

[@nic1208]

It is very eerie that Eddie Vedder happened to be performing in Seattle on the day Mark Lanegan passed away. Thank you Eddie for paying tribute to one of the great artists of that era. RIP Mark Lanegan, you are very missed.

[@xviphoenix69]

Are you sure??? He was here on the east coast playing shows. The day mark died, I'm sure he was still in the NY/NJ area. Just my assumption, I could be wrong, but I'm positive he was here on the east coast.

And now i'll remember the date too - 2/22/22 on a Tuesday.

[@nickday1627]

It's a shame mark never the love he so greatly deserved he was an amazing person and extremely gifted artist I still remember the first time I heard him on the singles soundtrack with screaming trees playing I nearly lost you there I was about 13 or 14 years old from the Midwest where everyone still listened to Garth Brooks and George Strait and all of sudden I heard Mark Eddie and Chris Cornell for the first time off that soundtrack and my world changed I'm 44 years old now and I still listen to Seattle sound I sure miss the 90s sleep well Mr Lanegan and thank you for being a part of my life

[@k.g.alatore355]

Mark knew how loved he was, he never did get his dues from the mainstream American media tho -- he was never a marketable sex symbol and wasn't a grunge rocker at heart, he was a genuine wordsmith and songwriting genius who was in the league of Nilsson, Cash, Haggard, Newman, Cohen, you name em, Mark could sing side by side to them.and blow them away.

[@werdup9105]

Beautiful.

[@Sami-ArtAus]

I feel the same. I'm 42 from Australia. Loved him since Singles in 1992. Almost all my favourite singers are dead. Of the Big 5 Seattle Pantheon- only Eddie Vedder remains. That was my very first concert in 95. I'm crying my eyes out over this man, as I did over Chris Cornell 5 years ago and Prince and Bowie the year before that. I wish he knew how much he was loved. I can't stand it anymore if another singer I love dies!!!

[@thathippieguy67]

I think the ever self-deprecating Mark would be shocked at the amount and intensity of love for him from his fans and musical peers over the last day. Time will prove that he was far more influential than anyone suspected, even now, in our grief. Rest Easy, Mark.

[@k.g.alatore355]

If he could be around he'd still downplay himself. Mark Knew how loved he is, but it was in his nature to never act like a rock legend even though he is.

[@Wez666]

I've been a Lanegan fan since early Screaming Trees days. Loved his work! Got to see him once live in 2016 in Seattle.

Dude Lanegan is one of the most lauded & respected singer songwriters of al time, what’re you talking about??

[@thathippieguy67]

@@bustersales6921 You're overreacting. Calm down.

[@FungusMossGnosis]

@@thathippieguy67 I think you've got it backwards. The OP stating that Mark would be "shocked" at such a reaction is the over-reaction. Buster's just keeping it real, bringing it back to earth. Personally I think Mark's still not appreciated by enough people, but he's highly rated among his contemporaries, always has been.

[@Barbara-nx7gq]

The ever great Eddie Vedder, always so honest with his feelings, transparent and respectful. Much love to Ed and each of Mark's friends and loved ones. Yesterday was a sad sad day indeed. Rest in peace, dark mr. Lanegan 🖤 .

Eddie is trully unique. That's why he's still alive!!! There must be some sort of Seattle curse on grunge vocalists. Will miss Mark Lanegan! But we got his legacy to listen to🙌

[@sonicjet7759]

Eddie Vedder is still alive, god bless him and god bless all those lost souls from the Seattle music scene: Mark, Chris, Layne, Kurt, Andy and the rest.

[@sketch3744]

A lot of them lived very fast lives and developed extremely large drug addictions. It's not really supernatural. Cornell's the only one confirmed to not be a victim of substance abuse or substance abuse related. Andy died from OD, Kurt commited suicide after a multi day binge. Layne slowly OD'd over the course of many years. If you include Weiland even though not from Seattle he also died from OD. Untill we get confirmation otherwise it's entirely possible Mark unfortunately could have fallen off the wagon. Eddie's still around cos he never got in to really heavy shit, same with Mark Arm of Mudhoney, Buzz Osbourne of The Melvins And Tad from Tad. Jerry Cantrell kicked his coke habit ages ago. Here's hoping he doesn't magically relapse.

[@bustersales6921]

There are lots of guys still around lol

[@FedeMayhemile.]

You have to too take into consideration the fact that, contrary to the rest of them, Eddie is not a Seattle native, though the comment above is correct, depression + drugs, no curse, no black magic, as always.

[@Mandyque]

Such a terribly sad loss. He is, and always will be, one of my musical heroes and I will miss him deeply. Thank you for this tribute Eddie

[@YogsenForfoth]

It kills me to think of how many friends Eddie has lost over the years. The number is truly staggering. Aside from the singers of some of the lesser known grunge bands, Eddie is the last one who is still with us. We’ve lost Andy Wood from Mother Love Bone, Kurt Cobain, Shannon Hoon, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, and Mark Lanegan. So many amazing voices, and so many amazing men. Their art will stand the test of time. I’m so thankful for Eddie and the guys in Pearl Jam. ❤

[@wjlintz]

Is Vedder the only lead singer from the early "Grunge" bands still alive?

[@atticacommunications]

I had the great pleasure to play on Marks last tour in 2019. We hit it off almost immediately. Turned out he was listening to my old band in his 20's. After bullying him to share his birthday cake in Bucharest, we swapped stories and laughs. This extended to when my daughter came when we reached London and played at the Roundhouse. I think Mark mentioned somewhere it was THE gig he loved. He could not have been more warm and friendly to her. We were to have worked together just before Covid wave hit. A opportunity that was never to be. Thoughts go out to Shelly, Sleep well big man x Mike

[@konstantinov]

I saw the 2019 show in Chicago at Bottom Lounge. Great performance from Mark & the band as always. What was your old band?

I hope you’ve finally found some peace Dark Mark,we’re gonna miss you🖤

[@bustersales6921]

Dave grohl..? seriously..? Are you joking? Also, dust isn’t one of the best Trees records. Sweet Ob & Uncle Anasthesia was their peak. And mark became far more well known for his solo stuff/the isobel Stuff/etc than for the ST stuff

Screaming Trees 'DUST' is so far underated! Actually so is sweet oblivion!

No it isn’t. Dust is overrated, it wasn’t close to being one of their best albums. Also, Mark made his best music long after the Trees split up

Beautiful tribute Eddie, you’re always so heartfelt. You’re right, Seattle was the most famous city in the world when I grew up in the early 90’s. So much of the music was & remains truly awesome and the people who sang those great songs had stories & lives that were out there. Mark was on another level, his charisma & intelligence not to mention good humor always shining through in interviews. I even met him briefly once, 4 1/2 years ago when he signed his book, it was one of those short encounters that you will never forget. The guy had a presence to him that few people possess, difficult to put into words. Mark, thank you 🙏 for everything, including so many great artists you’ve pointed us in the direction of. You’re a true Seattle legend and not having you around is proving very difficult. Rest easy Wolf 🐺🙏🎸🚀🪐
