Read Full BioMark William Lanegan (November 25 1964 - February 22 2022) was an American alternative rock musician and singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Ellensburg, Washington, Lanegan began his musical career in 1984, forming the psychedelic grunge band Screaming Trees with Gary Lee Conner, Van Conner, and Mark Pickerel. During his time in the band, Lanegan also started a low-key solo career and released his first solo studio album, The Winding Sheet, in 1990. Since 1990, he has released a further ten (solo) studio albums, as well as several collaborative efforts, and has received critical recognition and moderate commercial success.
Lanegan has also collaborated with various artists and bands throughout his career, including Kurt Cobain of Nirvana prior to the group's breakout success with their album, Nevermind, recording an unreleased album of songs by the folk singer Lead Belly. Lanegan also performed with Layne Staley and Mike McCready in the side band Mad Season. It was intended that Lanegan was to take over vocals in Mad Season full-time after Staley declined to make a second album. Following the dissolution of Trees in 2000, he became a member of Queens of the Stone Age and is featured on five of the band's albums—Rated R (2000), Songs for the Deaf (2002), Lullabies to Paralyze (2005), Era Vulgaris (2007) and ...Like Clockwork (2013). Lanegan also formed The Gutter Twins with Greg Dulli in 2003, released three collaboration albums with former Belle and Sebastian singer Isobel Campbell, and contributed to releases by Melissa Auf der Maur, Martina Topley-Bird, Creature with the Atom Brain, Moby, Bomb the Bass, Soulsavers, The Twilight Singers, Unkle, and Mad Season among others.
Lanegan has a distinctive baritone voice that has been described "as scratchy as a three-day beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather" which has been compared to Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.
During an interview for the Pacific Northwest periodical "The Rocket" in 1996, he said that he drove a combine harvester. He came from a dysfunctional family that he tried to avoid, and was using drugs heavily by the age of 18, having already been arrested and sentenced to one year's imprisonment for drug-related crimes. He got out of jail by taking a year-long rehabilitation course. Around this time he met and befriended Van Conner with whom he would eventually form the Screaming Trees. At this point his relationship with the Conner brothers was limited to talking about music and working for their parents' electronics hardware store.
In 2017, Lanegan released the book “I Am the Wolf: Lyrics & Writings”, a collection of lyrics accompanied by explanations and anecdotes.
Lanegan's first autobiography, "Sing Backwards and Weep", was published on April 28, 2020.
Mark Lanegan passed away on February 22, 2022, in his home in Killarney, Ireland.

Death Trip To Tulsa
Mark Lanegan Lyrics
I-I-I-I would been the son,
Waiting for your doctor
Are you gonna come?
My my my rumor in the song,
Think about you baby
Are you gonna drown?
Went down to the station
Find a horror scene,
Fell into the strangers,
Lonely lonely
Lord made me a poor man,
Lord made me a thief
A thousand miles in midnight,
To shine beyond belief
It's my last trip to the corner,
Now how am I gonna breathe?
A child upon his waste land
With teeth of a disease
Went down on the location
Find a horror scene,
Fell into the strangers,
Lonely lonely
Hi-high up in the air,
Look what you made me
You ain't never there
Death trip to Tulsa,
Know my supper son
Waiting for your doctor
Are you gonna come?
Went down to the nation,
Find a horror scene,
Fell into the strangers,
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
I-I-I-I would been the son,
Waiting in the sun
Would been the son
Would been the son

"Death Trip To Tulsa"
High, high, high
Away up in the sun,
Waiting for you doctor
Are you gonna come?
My, my, my
Rolling in the sound
Thinking 'bout you baby
Are you gonna drown?
Went up to the station
Found a horror scene
Fell into the strangest
Lonely, lonely dream
The lord made me a poor man
The lord made me a thief
A thousand miles of midnight
To shine beyond belief
It's my last trip to the corner
Now how am I gonna breathe?
A child upon his wasteland
The teeth of the disease
Went out on location
Found a horror scene
Fell into the strangest
Lonely, lonely dream
High, high, high
Away up in the air
I look for you baby
But you ain't never there
Death trip to Tulsa
You know I might suffer some
Waiting for you doctor
Are you gonna come?
Went down to the nation
Found a horror scene
Fell into the strangest
Lonely, lonely dream
Lonely, lonely
High, high, high
Away up in the sun
Away up in the sun
Away up in the sun
Away up in the sun
Tina Puleo
