    As a heroin addict in recovery, Mark’s book touched a part of my soul that I’ve never taken a close look at before. It really helped me come to terms with a lot of bad things I’ve done in the past, and I feel eternally grateful to Mark for that. May he rest in peace. ❤

    I read Lanegan's memoir. Its fuckin' amazing! Do yourself a favour people. As a big fan of his, I find his music even more compelling than before. It is well written, well-told and a book I could not put down. He is an amazing story teller.

    I miss Mark every day. He was a survivor. So well spoken. Intelligent. His solo work and work with other artists after the Trees was always fascinating. I loved his artistry. Shared a beer with him once, at a bar, mid nineties when the Trees passed through the Midwest. I'm about 9 years younger than him, but he gave me the time a day, and was very much like this interview. Just very personable. I think cuz I was trying to keep my shit together and not fan boy out on him helped, lol. We had a conversation just about the recent tour, things he had seen on the road, he asked me what I played, told me to quit music, with a laugh, just a fun talk. The conversation stuck with me for years. He's just a guy you wanted to know the rest of your life. Really fascinating individual. My life proceeded to then be a pretty Bumpy road for awhile, so I always related to people like Mark, John Frusciante, guys who were survivors in the music realm. Still a huge loss to me. He was a one off.

    His book is so compelling. He does such a great job of telling his story honestly and without ego. It’s so brutal and gritty. The way he describes his drug addiction pulled me in, and you see that opioid drug addiction is an awful full time job that imprisons you. I live in Seattle and I realized that towards the end of his addiction, I could have walked right by him on the street. He was literally a junkie on the street.

    What a book Sing Backwards and Weep is. I never thought I would be as moved by it as I was. And while Mark did terrible to himself things with drugs, they did not diminish his genius. While Lanegan was dead serious as a younger man, the laughing guy in his 50's was his real side to me. His vocals were unsurpassed by anyone in his generation or any other previous generations. His solo work will endure far beyond anything of the last 40 years.
