Mark Lanegan dies: ‘I regret not answering when Kurt Cobain called me three times on his last day’

From ‘grave digger’ he was sometimes called. To that deep, typical grave voice of his. Death was always closely related to Mark Lanegan. The American singer of Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age saw his friends succumb to addictions, and narrowly escaped dozens of times. He passed away on Tuesday, aged 57. “How did I survive the nineties? Pure luck.”
