[@nixmoretta13]

A year later and he would be gone. We love your musical poetry Stuart, may you now rest in peace. Thank you for the legacy, never forgotten 😢❤

[@Maranatha936]

Have always loved Stuart as the singer in Big Country, but didnt know what kind of personality he had til seeing a glimpse of it through watching his interviews. He comes across as very genuine, down to earth and possessed a wonderful sense of humour. RIP Stuart ❤️

[@ghenttoo]

This is what an authentic human being looks like.

[@matsf8268]

I have not forgotten, cheers

[@frankstared]

What we admire in the big man lies in each and every one of us: we need to reach out and serve others with our heart and soul.

[@ianhawdon3680]

I still miss him today desperatly

[@kevinmullan7364]

I was there that night in Dublin when Big Country were supporting Page & Plant. Mark threw up at the start of their first song and the band went off stage. Stuart came back out on his own with his acoustic guitar and played the full set. He was a brilliant performer and such a talented songwriter. Sadly missed by all music lovers.

[@2000mk1]

I believe Mark had food poisoning that night.

[@moodlefyful]

Wow..I was at that gig as well.

[@stephenobrien6983]

His death is a footnote, his legacy is his music. Thank you Stewart, & the rest of Big Country for your amazing contributions. (I only became a fan a few years ago, which is a testament to how well their songs stand the test of time.)

[@stuartlawsonbeattie6200]

Stuart, bless him.

[@frankstared]

Death is a natural part of the circle of life. You are so right though in that service to others is the true measure of the well lived life.

[@leoking2982]

Wish your daughter Kirsten becomes a great singer songwriter like you Stu. Miss Big Country....RIP STU.......

[@abloemsma384]

Stuart talking Scottish is so beautiful and special. Really stands out from other musicians ..... it does something to me as a woman..... anyway, Rest in Peace dear Stuart, you were so full of talent, show you're talents above there now

Robert Burns and a nightingale rolled into a vibrant torch of hope in the 1980s and '90s. His quaint accent alone is a gift from another time when poetry mattered.

[@kennyhamilton3598]

this man is my true hero i met and chatted 3 times im 60 nd just wish he was still here

[@johngonzalez624]

Int: "Were you afraid?" Stuart: "Nay. (pause) Ah grrrreeeuw op in Scotland, mon!!!" Priceless; may God rest your soul, Stuart.

Guys a pure rocker and doesn't love himself!R.I.P , Stuart 🎼👌

[@kanashiimurakamisan]

Stuart Adamson's tragic early death will always be a huge loss to both Skids & Big Country fans. I still frequently listen to both bands as I did as a youth many years ago. Their music easily stands the test of time. Stuart's lyrics with Big Country ooze sheer poetry. Their poignancy, scale of depth & symbolic imagery seems timeless! Both Stuart Adamson & Ian Curtis (latter vocalist with Joy Division), are right up there with the very best singer/songwriters of all time!

[@michaelmurphy2330]

When I heard about what happened to Stuart, I could not believe it! He must have been in such a dark place in his private life. Suicide seems to be a selfish thing to commit, I feel for the loved ones left behind. PS, Just A Shadow is surely one of the greatest songs of all time.

[@crs2385]

I cannot imagine, or empathize with you on what you were going through in regards to depression Stuart as i've never been down that road, however i have suffered from panic attacks (anxiety). Mental health is something that maybe back in 2000/2001 wasn't talked about much, but it's important people reach out. It can effect both men, and women, though it tends to be men that it's effecting allot more. If anyone reading this then reach out, and seek the help needed. R.I.P. Stuart Adamson, a legend of Scotland, and the world on the musical scale, and a kindhearted man.

[@MiceOnParole]

A terrible loss of a fantastic musician and a lovely guy

I really miss this man and his music. I really wish he would have chosen to stick around.

[@VamboRoolz]

Miss the man every day. His passing diminished this world in no small manner.

[@dynaflow666]

When I studied in Oldenburg from 1996 to 2002, I watched the movie "Restless Natives" one night and I was so flashed by the music, expecially by "I will run for you". Never before music had such an impact on me. It took a while to find out what band made the soundtrack. It is tragic to see that Stuart obviously stayed in Oldenburg during that time.

[@michaelmitchell8218]

Great band and top live performances. Shame what happened to him but I know what living with depression is like and how it can take hold of you. Loved the 80s great uplifting music.

[@dbc1dc]

Great post. The most under rated musical talent.

The Crossing was the first album I ever owned. The music takes me back to some Good times! You kind of wish you could sit down with Stuart, and just ask, Why?

I hope you found peace Stuart.

Truly missed........our name is out...our name is known,our name is everywhere but who knows where we're from......don't look away....play it loud........gone before his time......respect.

His voice and lyrics combined with the " bagpipe guitars" are so unique and timeless...so much better than anything on the level of dixie chicks!

Giving up the things you love is a sign of depression

[@blabla-kk8bl]

What was the reason of depression?

[@crs2385]

@@blabla-kk8bl Apparenlty alcoholism. He had a problem with drink, and that's apparently what contributed to his depression

[@lemilemi5385]

@Wasp Factory Ive been listening to a single song BIG COUNTRY since its presentation, your comments help to place humanity in the hit, post it, saying. Hope you find eternal wellness; my bias is that its through Christ

[@crs2385]

@Wasp Factory Ah right i never knew that. I know depression can happen for different reasons but i always thought forms of depression came on either by itself, or through abuse of alcohol

[@crs2385]

@Wasp Factory Well when i say forms i mean levels. Like some people have different levels of it. Some have mild depression, others have severe depression. So i guess in that respect there are forms

[@makolic1]

If there is a god he will be listening to fantastic music from Stuart

Incredible performer and superb guitarist. Skidz rule OK !

[@ROOKTABULA]

A friend said Stu hated the mention of "bag pipe guitar". He hid it well there.

[@Swahy]

Why does he hate the mention of bag pipe

[@stutheguitarist8545]

@@Swahy I would say it is because the bagpipes are jokingly seen as a loud obnoxious noise, and he probably felt that the comparison was more of a diss towards his playing rather than the reality of it being unique and intriguing. I love the bagpipes, so I definitely get how he felt insulted when the rest of the world insulted his culture for cheap laughs.

[@chriskroell6956]

[@saltjunky]

The only way is to take their pain from them, and it just isn't that easy. I wish, like you, that it were. I'm sure he still had MUCH to offer music lovers, but the problem was likely that he felt the world didn't have much left to offer him.

"Aren't you afraid?" -"No, I grew up in Scotland, man."

You should just keep it simple and enjoy his music. We live in a culture that knows nothing about death and people really shouldn't be assuming anything. Ya know why? everyone has to throw in the two cents about his suicide when he made such beautiful music.

Well said Jon, Stuart left us a legacy many others could only imaine or dream, he gave us the Dream, God Bless

[@divergencefilms]

A nice interview

[@Cobra0710]

How prophetic about what he is saying about the desire to reconnect with the part of life that he is missing out on! He would kill himself on the day his wife asked for a divorce and had begin to resume drinking again (after a decade of being sober). What a shame. A house of cards.

[@justmadeit2]

What does the saying " a house of cards" mean ?

[@Cobra0710]

One card falls, so goes the others. A shaky foundation whereas the structure will collapse if one element is removed.
