‘Weinigen van ons behalen het niveau van authenticiteit waarover hij beschikte’, schrijft ook Lamb Of God-gitarist Mark Morton op Twitter. ‘Hij heeft een wild leven geleefd waar de meeste mensen alleen maar van kunnen dromen’, reageerde Peter Hook (New Order, Joy Division). Mark Ronson noemt In The Fade van Queens Of The Stone Age een van de beste tracks ooit.

I am so profoundly grateful to have had the chance to make music & become friends with Mark Lanegan. Few artists ever achieve the level of honesty & authenticity that he did.
He was absolutely brilliant.
Godspeed my friend. ?— Mark Morton ?? (@MarkDuaneMorton) February 22, 2022
Terribly saddened to hear the news of the passing of Mark Lanegan. A very gifted artist blessed with honey dipped tones, gone far too soon.

Hearing about Mark Lanegan passing away has properly stopped me in my tracks. I’m absolutely gutted. Met him on a couple of occasions and I was nervous because I loved him so much. He was a perfect gentleman, really kind. One of THE great singers of the last 30 years. So sad ?
